( Birds singing )

( Owl hooting... )

( Hen squawks )

Cat: boo!

( Squawking )

All: whoa!

( All laughing )

Interesting.

What is, little bear?

Ants.

They're very busy creatures, aren't they?

Mm-hmm.

( Sniffs )

It smells like the rest of the cookies are done.

( Grunts )

Hmm...

If I was as tiny as those ants

I could go get that thread.

( Grunting )

Hey!

You ants sure are strong.

There's mother bear's thread.

( Grunts )

I wonder where it goes.

( Grunts )

( Sneezing )

( Buzzing )

( Gasps )

( Starting to sneeze )

( Sneezes )

Hey! Don't be scared.

Come back.

It's just me.

Mmm-mmm.

Oh.

( Buzzing )

I was just tasting it.

I'll be going now.

Hello, spider.

You sure have a nice web.

Careful.

I can fix it.

( Thunder rumbling )

It's starting to rain.

I'd better go.

Good-bye!

( Thunder rumbles more loudly )

( Grunts )

Whoa!

( Chirping... )

( Grunting )

( Laughs )

Oops.

What are you doing here?

You brought me.

I brought a worm!

You're not a worm.

This isn't a worm.

This is mother bear's thread.

Well, the thread can stay, but you have to go.

I was just leaving.

( Baby birds chirping )

( Gasps )

( Squeaking )

( Sighs )

( Squeaking )

Uh, excuse me, squirrel.

You're blocking the sun.

( Giggles )

Whee!

Hey.

Hello!

( Echoes )

Hello, down there.

Can I come in?

Don't you ants ever play?

Interesting.

Hey... Hey!

What's going on?

Help... Help!

Help!

Little bear?

Is that you?

No-feet, get me out of here!

Here I come, little bear!

Whee!

( Grunting )

Would you mind getting off me, please?

Oh, no-feet.

I was really tiny.

And I was down the ant hole.

And I couldn't get out, and you saved me.

Well, you're not tiny now.

Oh, right... Sorry.

Whew, that's better.

Hello, no-feet.

Hello, mother bear.

Oh, little bear.

There's my red thread.

I didn't know what happened to it.

I saw exactly what happened to it, mother bear.

Some of it is under the bush

And some of it is in the spider web.

Some of it is with the birds, and some is in the ant hill.

My, is there any left for the tablecloth?

Oh, there's plenty left.

Thank you, little bear.

I have fresh-baked cookies inside

When you're done playing.

Thank you, mother bear!

Do you want to play, no-feet?

Sure, let's play.

We'll play that we're really, really tiny.

I'll ride on your back again!

Uh, let's play that we're really, really tiny

But I ride on your back, okay?

( Both grunting )

Little bear, can't you get any... Tinier?

( Birds singing )

Owl: ooh, splendid.

Duck: oh!

My, oh, my.

Amazing.

Whoo, whoo!

Oh, I'll try this hat.

Where did your granny get all this stuff, emily?

Granny's traveled all over the world.

Wow!

I love playing dress-up.

Don't you, little bear?

Oh, yes.

( Giggles )

Hmm...

Let's see now.

Look at me!

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

( Laughs )

Owl's a clown.

A happy clown.

( Barks )

Ha, ha, ha!

( Barks )

And a sad clown.

Boo-hoo.

( Barks, growls )

Oh, try this on, cat.

No, thank you.

Okay, then, I'll try it on.

( Grunts )

( Squawking )

Quack!

Look, cat.

Why don't you try these?

I don't wear gloves.

It's just for dress-up.

Well, I don't dress up.

( Purrs )

Oh...

Pretty colors.

Interesting.

Da-ta-da, da-da, da-da, da-da...

( Duck squawking )

I can't see!

( Squawking )

I'll help.

Ooh!

Hmm...

Maybe you should try something else.

I guess so.

Aha!

Quack!

Hmm...

( Sings conga rhythm )

Come on, duck.

( Singing conga rhythm )

Uh-oh.

( Squawks )

( Little bear continues singing... )

( Meows )

Perfect.

( In a deep voice ): I'm a big game hunter

And I'm hunting for cats!

Well, find yourself another cat.

But you're the only cat we've got.

( Laughs )

Here I come.

Hey! Ha!

( Meows )

He got away.

Boo-hoo, hoo.

I'm going to get you, cat.

Oh, no, you're not.

( Meows )

( Roars )

I'm no longer a cat.

I am the king of beasts.

( Meows )

Come on, king of beasts.

Let's make a parade.

( Sings conga rhythm )

Oh, okay.

( Joins in singing )

Ha! This is fun.

( Singing conga rhythm )

( Cat meowing, dog barking, little bear growling )

( Singing continues... )

Ooh... It sparkles.

( Singing conga rhythm... )

Owl: ha, ha, ha, ha, ha-ha!

( Emily giggles )

( All singing... )

Oh...

( Sighs )

Come on, duck.

Join in.

How can I dance if I can't see?

( Barking )

( Meows angrily )

You should never pull the tail

Of the king of beasts.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

But a clown can poke fun at a king.

( Meows )

( Whining )

Duck? What's wrong?

I can't be anything.

Well, what do you want to be?

I want to be a beautiful princess.

Of course you do.

But I'm just an ugly duck.

That's not true.

We think you're a beautiful duck.

A fine duck indeed.

But I can't find a costume.

I tried on a shirt with no arms

But it got all backwards.

I tried on some shiny shoes

But they were all floppy.

I tried on this sparkly thing

But it's too big.

See?

We can help.

You can?

We'll turn you into a beautiful princess, duck.

You will?

Of course.

A beautiful princess duck.

Hmm..

We'll need these.

Oh.

Such fine jewels, your majesty.

( Laughs )

Aha.

Rare chinese silk, your highness.

Oh...

Quack!

( Whimpering )

( Panting )

Good thinking, tutu.

What's a beautiful princess

Without her crown?

A vision of loveliness.

Me?

( Giggles )

Let me see.

Let me see.

Oh... I am beautiful!

Hmm, you need just one more thing.

There.

Anything for a princess.

Duck, you are the most beautiful princess

In the land.

Wow.

All: your majesty.

( Giggles )

Thanks.

( Clears throat )

I mean...

( Grandly ): thank you.

Princess duck?

Yes, little bear?

Can I be your prince?

You may.

What would you like to do first, your majesty?

Let's dance!

Hooray! Splendid!

All: la-la, la-la, la, hey!

( All singing conga rhythm... )

( Quacking... )

Good-bye, ducks.

See you in the spring!

( Giggling )

What?

I remember when you wanted

To fly south for the winter.

Oh.

I remember.

And you just wanted to fly.

( Giggling ) yeah.

( Sighs )

( Quacking )

Little bear: wait for me!

( Quacking )

Wait for me, ducks!

I'm going, too!

( Laughing )

I can fly.

( Quacking )

Look at me.

I could be a duck.

( Clucking )

I'm flying south.

I'm flying.

( Clucks )

I'm fly--

( Duck squawks )

( Grunts )

What are you doing?

I'm flying south.

You are?

I wish I could fly.

Why can't you?

You're a duck.

My mother never taught me.

( Clucking... )

Your mother's a chicken?

Some eggs got mixed up.

She's very nice, but she can't teach me how to fly.

Hmm.

I can teach you.

You can?

Sure.

( Clucks happily )

I'm going to fly!

( Laughing )

First I'd better teach you to quack.

You cluck like a chicken.

I can moo like a cow, too.

Moo.

I can baa like a sheep.

Baaa, baaa.

( Laughing )

Eek, eek, eek.

I'm a mouse.

Squeak, squeak, squeak.

I'm a cat.

( Meowing... )

( Meowing )( squeaking )

Meow!

( Barks )

( Barking and meowing )

Ouch!

( Laughing )

( Giggling )

Now try a duck.

Quack, quack, quack.

Quack, quack.

Quack.

Quack.

Quack.

( Quacking )

Quack!

( Quacking... )

Perfect.

Now let's fly.

Quack, quack!

How do I do it?

Just flap your wings, like this, and run!

Okay.

Let me try.

Flap my wings...

( Grunting )

And run!

( Grunting )

( Panting ) was I flying?

Almost.

Flying's hard work.

Here, climb up on me.

Why?

Maybe you need to start higher.

Okay.

Here we go!

( Duck grunting )

Start flapping!

Whoa!

Flap, flap!

( Quacking )

Hey!

Let go.

I can't see!

( Screeches )

( Thumps )

( Grunts )

Ow!

Hey.

Are you sure this is how you do it?

Hmm.

I've got an idea.

I love balloons.

Here's another one.

( Quacks )

( Laughs )

Sorry.

Now what?

Just like before.

Flap your wings and run.

Okay.

( Grunting )

Flap harder.

( Squeaking, panting )

You're flying.

You're flying!

I'm flying!

I'm not flying!

( Grunting, quacking )

Maybe I should forget about flying.

This should work.

For what?

Helping you fly.

How can a tree help me fly?

First, we bend it over.

We do?

Then you climb on.

I do?

Then I let go.

You do?

Yes.

And you fly.

I don't-- ( screeches )

Oops.

Flap your wings!

( Whimpering )

Hey.

I'm flying!

I'm flying!

I'm falling!

Flap harder!

I'll catch you.

( Screeching )

Hey, you did it.

You're flying!

Wow!

Whee-hee!

Wait a minute.

How do you stop?

I don't know.

( Both grunt )

( Splash )

I think I'm still too young to fly.

I'm sorry.

I'm not.

I'd rather stay here and play with you.

Really?

Yes.

What's your name?

I'm little bear.

What's your name?

I'm duck.

Hi, duck.

Hi, little bear.

( Ducks quacking )

Do you think that you'll ever fly south

For the winter, duck?

Will you?

I don't think so.

Me, neither.

Good.

( Quacking )
