Episode 21: Why Rhino Charges

Tinga Tinga Tales - CBeebies - BBC

How monkeys made Rhino a horn from a piece of wood, and how he learned to charge.

Stories telling a young audience how animals got their distinctive parts. Here, monkeys make Rhino a horn from wood so he can join in the Dance of the Horns.

There was a time when Rhino didn't charge and he couldn't see very well at all. Poor old Rhino really wanted to be invited to the Dance of the Horns up on the plains with Buffalo and all the other horned animals. But Rhino didn't have a horn, so he wasn't allowed. 

The Monkeys decided to help Rhino and made him a horn from a piece of old wood. But when Rhino woke up he didn't know what it was.
