[bunniefuu]

[ Birds chirping]

[ Owl hooting...]

[ Hen squawks]

Cat: boo!

[ Squawking]

All: whoa!

[ All laughing]

[ Birds twittering]

[ Laughing]

[ Barking]

[ Laughter]

We're here!

Me, too!

[ Yapping]

Oh, good, lunch is almost ready, you two.

[ Shivers]

Granny, it's getting cold outside.

I'm not cold.

You've got a fur coat.

[ Giggles]

I know.

It's getting cold in here, too.

We need some more wood on the fire.

We can get wood for you, granny.

Come on, little bear.

I'll show you where it is.

[ Yapping]

Here's the wood pile.

[ Barks]

And here's one for you too, tutu.

[ Cricket begins to chirp]

[ Tutu grumbles]

Good job.

Just put it in the wood box.

[ Tutu barks]

Oh, thank you, tutu.

[ Mutters happily]

It'll be winter soon, won't it, granny?

I love winter, don't you, little bear?

Oh, yes.

I don't mind the cold at all.

But I love a fire in the fireplace.

So do i.

Oh, that will do nicely.

Thank you, emily.

Thank you, little bear.

[ Yaps]

And thank you, tutu.

[ Gnawing]

[ Chirps]

[ Puzzled yip]

What was that?

It sounded very much

Like a cricket.

Maybe you brought him in

With the firewood.

[ Soft, quizzical yips]

[ Chirps]

I can't see him.

Oh, he could be anywhere.

[ Chirping]

That came from over there.

[ Barks]

[ Sniffing]

[ Grunts]

[ Chirps]

[ Chirp]

[ Chirp]

Nope.

Uh-uh.

[ Sniffing]

[ Chirping]

[ Barks]

[ Chirping]

[ Barks, whimpers]

Over there.

Maybe he's in the cupboard.

I don't think so.

He'll chirp a lot

As the house warms up.

But you have to be careful.

You don't want to scare him.

We can't find him anywhere.

I don't think he's ever going to come out.

Well, crickets

Are very shy by nature, you know.

Mmm.

[ Chirping]

[ Barks, growls]

[ Cricket sings...]

Do you know that it's good luck

To have a cricket in the house?

Emily, you have a lucky house.

I guess I do.

Listen.

[ Cricket chirping...]

Isn't that nice?

Crickets are very musical.

Yes, they are.

Very much so.

[ Imitates cricket]

[ Cricket chirps back]

Did you hear that?

He answered me.

I heard him.

Let me try.

[ Imitates cricket]

[ Cricket chirps]

Emily: oh, isn't he wonderful?

He's talking to us.

He's a very clever cricket.

That's what we'll name him: "clever cricket."

[ Cricket chirps]

[ And chirps...]

I think he's trying to teach us his song.

[ Imitates cricket]

[ Plays concertina]

[ Imitates cricket]

[ Concertina with chirping...]

[ Whines]

[ Music continues]

[ All laugh]

Oh, look, there he is!

Clever cricket.

[ Yips]

[ Gasps]

[ Chirps]

[ Barks]

[ Gasps]

Oh.

[ Laughs]

He's jumping all over the place.

[ Whines]

Crickets just naturally jump

And they never really know

Where they are going to land.

Well, there, there.

Now, take a deep breath, clever cricket

And try to settle down.

[ Sighs sweetly]

[ Concertina sighs]

That's better.

You sure are a good jumper, clever cricket.

Yes, indeed, you have the jumps

Like people have the hiccups.

[ Chirping]

Oh, I've never known such a musical cricket.

I think he really likes it here.

He's welcome to spend

The whole winter.

As a matter of fact, he can stay

As long as he likes.[ Chirping]

[ Barks]

I think he's going to be very happy here.

[ Concertina music with chirping and clapping]

[ Lid clatters rhythmically]

[ Music continues... ]

Look, the mice have come out to dance.

I didn't know mice were such good dancers.

Let me see.

I think we need a few words to go with this song.

♪ Emily's cricket fiddles at night ♪

♪ And the mice come out in the firelight ♪

♪ Line up and cross and dance down the middle ♪

♪ All to the tune of the cricket's fiddle ♪

♪ Oh, what fun to be a mouse

♪ Dancing on the floor of granny's house ♪

All: ♪ emily's cricket fiddles at night ♪

♪ And the mice come out in the firelight ♪

♪ Oh, what fun to be a mouse

♪ Dancing on the floor of granny's house ♪

♪ Line up and cross and dance down the middle ♪

♪ All to the tune of the cricket's fiddle. ♪

[ Applause, laughter]

[ Chirping]

[ Concertina ends tune]

Whoo!

[ Laughing]

Whoo! I got it.

Whoo! [ Laughing]

Oh.

[ Giggling]

Little bear: look.

Little bear, you're just in time to add the marshmallows

To the marshmallow mixed berry pie.

Mmm, marshmallow mixed berry pie.

My favorite.

[ Chuckling]

This has always been

Your mother's favorite pie too, little bear.

As long as there are twice as many

Raspberries as blackberries.

Just the way ilike it.

Thank you.

What do you have there?

Leaves-- gold leaves.

I caught them.

Oh, they're beautiful.

Let's press them in a book

Like you used to do when you were little.

Yes, let's press them.

That's a good idea.

It will keep your leaves in perfect condition

So you'll have them for later.

It's best to put the leaf somewhere in the middle

And smooth it out

So none of the leaf's corners get bent.

Can I try?

Just like that?

Just like that.

[ Yawns]

Hmm, looks like it's time for a nap.

[ Yawning]: but I'm not tired.

Hmm.

Well, maybe a little tired.

Grandmother bear: by the time you've finished your nap

The pie should be ready.

Okay.

[ Yawns]

What were you like when you were a little bear?

Well... I was like you.

I loved to play outside

I loved to collect leaves

And I loved to snuggle up

Under a cozy quilt for an afternoon nap.

Especially under this quilt

That your grandmother and I made together.

You did?

What are these?

Those are charms from a bracelet

I wore when I was little.

That's a sailboat, a little bird charm...

What was here? There's one missing.

That one was a maple leaf

But it's lost now.

I've never been able to find it.

Now, go to sleep.

Hmm.

[ Sighs]

[ Snoring]

[ Bird singing]

[ Chirping]

Child: what are you doing, you silly thing?

You should be on your way by now.

Me? I'm not doing anything.

And I'm not a silly thing.

Oh, i... I didn't mean you.

I was talking to my robin.

[ Chirping]

He's your robin?

Well, I looked after him when he was little

And now he won't fly away.

Maybe he thinks you're his mother.

[ Laughing]: oh.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I'm collecting leaves.

Want to help?

Sure.

Quick, try to catch those leaves

Before they hit the ground.

[ Both laughing]

Both: I got it!

Oh!

Oh.

[ Both laughing]

There are so many.

It's snowing leaves.

Yes, it's "leafing."

Yay!

[ Giggling...]

♪ It's leafing, it's pouring, the old man is snoring. ♪

[ Pretending to snore]

[ Giggles]

[ Snoring]

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm burying you.

[ Growling]

I'm the leaf monster!

No, don't get me!

Don't get me!

[ Growling]

[ Little bear growling, girl laughing]

You're not a leaf monster.

You're little bear.

[ Whooping, laughing]

[ Both laughing]

Mmm...

I found it!

Here it is: the perfect maple leaf.

It's very nice.

Yes, look, it's just like the one on my charm bracelet.

Oh, your charm bracelet?

Let's go press it in my book.

This is where I keep my best leaves.

You do?

This will keep it in perfect condition

While it dries so I have it for later.

It's best to put it somewhere in the middle

And smooth it out so that when you close it...

None of the leaf's corners get bent.

Right.

[ Both giggling]

Mmm, something smells good.

My mother's baked my favorite pie.

Come on.

Little bear.

Marshmallow mixed berry pie...

Mother bear: little bear, it's ready.

...with twice as much raspberries as blackberries.

Mother bear: mm-hmm, want a piece?

Mmm...

Did you have a nice nap?

I know where the missing charm is, mother bear.

You do?

Oh!

My goodness!

Grandmother bear: I hope you had a nice nap, little bear.

Would anyone like a piece of marshmallow mixed berry pie?

Both I would, I would!

[ Birds chirping]

Little bear: ah... Feel the wind, grandfather bear.

Whee!

[ Both laughing]

I feel it.

Should we build a kite?

I can't today, little bear.

I have to... Clean out the shed.

All right, I'll help.

[ Hinges squeak]

What a mess.

It is a mess, isn't it?

I'll do the sweeping.

Grandfather bear: ah... Ah...

Ah-ah-ah-ah...

[ Sneezes]

Whew, what a lot of dust.

Why don't we straighten things up first

And then give the place a good sweeping.

All right, where do we start?

Oh.

Sorry, broom, you'll have to wait your turn.

What are all these little things?

Those are nuts and bolts.

They hold things together.

Now, I keep the nuts in one jar

And the bolts in another.

Here's a jar.

We've got one for nuts...

One for nuts.

One for bolts.

Only problem with these jars is I can't fit my paw into them.

So I end up dumping the nuts and the bolts out on the floor.

Oh!

See what I mean.

[ Grunts]

Happens every time.

Hey.

Hay!

I guess I should move it outside.

But it's my favorite place to nap.

Ah...

Nothing like a good pile of hay.

Ah...

So, what else do we need to do?

Well, let's see

We need to, uh... [ Yawns]

Put away the tools, uh...

Stack the buckets.

[ Yawns]

[ Snores]

You take a nap, grandfather.

And I'll clean up, okay?

[ Continues snoring]

Hmm...

Oh.

Broom, I told you to wait.

I don't have time for games.

I have to clean up.

Now you stay right there.

I'll pick up the nuts and bolts.

Here's a bolt.

[ Rattles into the jar]

A nut.

[ Jar rattles]

Another bolt.

[ Snoring...]

Broom, if you're not going to behave

You have to sit outside.

Whoop. [ Grunts]

I better wind this up.

[ Wind blowing]

Whoa.

Uh, um...

[ Rattling]

[ Pots shatter]

[ Grandfather bear mumbles in his sleep]

[ Clears throat]

Little bear: you again.

Look at the mess you made, broom.

You better stay up here where I can keep an eye on you.

[ Sighs]

How am I going to clean all this up?

Oh!

That's it.

You're going out in the garden.

Hmm.

The dustpan.

Interesting.

You're trying to help, aren't you, broom?

Maybe you can help.

Thanks.

Now, want to help with the nuts and bolts?

Good job.

Now let's fill up these jars.

Nut...

Bolt.

Bolt...

Nut-- oops!

That was a bolt.

No problem.

Hmm.

Good idea, broom.

Nuts.

Bolts.

Hmm.

We still need to coil up this rope.

Any ideas, broom?

Let's try it.

Now, hold still.

Around and around and around we go.

Where we stop, nobody knows.

[ Groans]

There.

Thanks.

[ Snores and snorts]

The only thing left to do is sweep up.

Now, I wonder who can help me with that?

[ Laughs]

I thought so.

Thank you for the dance, broom.

[ Grandfather bear snorts]

Ah-ah-ah...

[ Sneezes]

Oops.

Well, I must have dozed off.

We better get to work.

Why, goodness.

You cleaned the place up.

Look, grandfather bear.

Now your paw won't get stuck.

What a good idea.

Did you do all of this by yourself?

Well, I had some help from my broom.

[ Chuckles]

Well, you and your broom did a great job.

I'll bet all this hard work

Has made you thirsty.

Mm-hmm.

How about... A big glass of lemonade?

That sounds good.

Come on.

There, broom.

Now you can take a rest, too.
