[bunniefuu]

hello i'm lucy i live at 64 zoo lane and

i have some very special neighbors

look there's

ordinary

georgina

the story of herbert in the watermelon

of doom

hello everyone huh good evening lucy

why are you standing in line like that

you're acting very strange

yes you are tell me boris or i'll tickle

you

all right i'll tell you

we've got a surprise for you oh don't

bother boris it's a boring game anyway

it's vic to the crocodile good evening

lucy i wanted to surprise you with a

story but i should have realized that

none of this lot could keep a secret

unlike my friend herbert the warthog

now he could really keep a secret would

you like to hear my dramatic story

it's called herbert and the watermelon

of doom

gosh yes please

every day the animals in africa get

together for some fun

one day i decided to join them at the

waterhole

hey guys this is fun hey

what what what have i done now your tail

splashing and that's not allowed i was

only having fun

and you were snapping your jaws

no i wasn't

yes you were

all right then i was that's mean and

nasty but crocodiles are supposed to be

mean and nasty well perhaps it will be

better if just for today you could go

somewhere else to do your mean and nasty

splashing

show them mean and last is more fun

anyway

so i planned my revenge

oh

victor nice watermelon you've got there

habit ah thanks victor

did i ever tell you about my favorite

watermelon frequently but i'd love to

hear it all over again

it was seven years ago during the rainy

season i was climbing the eastern slope

of the blue mountain and there i saw it

it was perfectly round with yellow

zigzag lines inside it was squishy and

juicy and oh

if you'll be my friend i'll give you

this watermelon seed

it's a very special seed

it is

yes herbert the watermelon that grows

from this seed will be the biggest

sweetest juiciest watermelon ever it

will why don't you plant it up on table

mountain it'll grow faster up there

uh don't tell the others

that way you don't have to share any of

it

just a little secret between us

thanks victor

herbert's buried the watermelon seed on

top of table mountain

it's sprouted right away oh

yes

soon the watermelon was as big as a baby

hippo

herbert decided to keep it our little

secret

every day herbert slipped past his

friends to watch his secret watermelon

grow and grow

where's how bad i don't know

come to think of it i haven't seen him

for ages

there he

going is

oh

nowhere special oh can i come no

no uh uh you finish a drink matani

oh

strange very strange

good

morning

watermelon

herbert's watermelon had grown as big as

a rhino

victor victor the watermelon it's really

big it's getting dangerous it could roll

down from table mountain and

land in the waterhole exactly

but then we'd have no water serves all

your cutesy animals right for not

playing with me

but that's mean and nasty

exactly

tried to support the watermelon so it

wouldn't roll down table mountain

oh

what had happened

he nibbled and gnawed and champed and

chewed but it was no good the enormous

watermelon grew quicker than herbert

could eat

the melon was now so big that it could

be seen from miles away and everyone

knew about it

the victor the crocodile told me not to

he said it was our little secret

that was me

and nasty

exactly

anyone

i think we may have a problem here

let's see the melon is here

and the waterfall over here

according to my calculations the

watermelon will soon be so heavy it will

roll down the hill flatten the bourbon

tree bounce on audrey's nest and land in

the waterhole with a great big splat

there my list will be ruined we have

nothing to drink and i'll lose my

scratching post

exactly now i'm going to find a good

place to watch it all go terribly wrong

nelson had an idea

everybody ready

okay natalie chew that stalk

why does it always happen to me

you're tickling me

oh

i do that tickling would you like to be

tickled victor no i don't it's time for

bed i told the story so it's my turn to

say good night oh victor but don't

expect me to say anything nice don't

worry victor i know you like to be mean

and nasty

exactly

anyway it's time for bed now

good night

good night everyone
