(Birds singing )

(Owl hooting )

(Hen squawks )

Cat: boo!

(Squawking )

All: whoa!

(All laughing )

(Wind blowing... )

(Giggles )

(Grunting... )

Almost there...

Whew...

Hello, tree.

I'm glad spring is here, aren't you?

(Wind gusts, leaves rustle )

I can see all the way to the ocean!

(Gasps )

Look, there's father bear!

Hello, father bear!

I'm going to fish just like father bear.

I've got a bite!

(Grunts )

It's a big, big bite!

I've almost got it, but I need your help.

Grab on, tree, and help me pull it in.

We caught it!

(Wind gusts )

Hey, that tickles.

(Laughing )

My turn to tickle you, tree.

(Wind gusts )

(Laughing )

(Sighs )

Old tree, this is the best place to be, isn't it?

(Wind gusts )

Mother bear: hello up there.

Hello, mother bear.

Are you ready for some lunch?

I've got some nice hot soup on the table.

Oh!

This is my special tree.

Well, this was my special tree, too.

It was?

Mm-hmm.

When I was a little cub

I used to play in this old tree...

Just like you.

(Wind gusts )

Brr...

Ooh, it's getting chilly.

Come on, the soup's getting cold.

Let's go home.

This will keep you warm.

See you tomorrow.

(Wind blowing... )

Hello, tree.

Did my scarf keep you warm?

I'm glad.

(Grunting... )

(Birds squawking )

Ouch!

What are you doing in our nest?

What are you doing in my tree?

This is our tree.

Your tree?

No, this is my special tree.

But trees aren't for bears.

Bears climb trees.

Birds live in trees.

We need someplace safe to lay our eggs.

But this is my tree.

I can see the whole world from here.

Yes, it's a very tall tree.

This tree will make the perfect home for our family.

For our babies.

Couldn't you find another tree to climb?

(Sighs )

All right, you may build your nest here.

I know you'll take good care of those blue jays

Just like you took care of me.

Good-bye, tree.

(Bird chirping )

(Chicks twittering... )

(Birds chirping... )

(Wind gusts )

(Little bear giggles )

(Thunder rumbling... )

(Thunder crashing )

(Wind whistling loudly )

(Thunder crashing... )

Mother bear, I think there are some good blueberries

Right over here.

(Gasps )

Oh, no, my tree!

Can't we fix it?

We can't control nature

But we can love it.

This tree has stood for so many years.

It took good care of us.

(Gasps )

The blue jays!

(Birds chirping )

Hello, are you okay?

Yes, all of us are safe and sound.

That old tree gave us a good home.

We'll miss it, too.

Thank you, little bear.

(Wind gusts )

This seed will grow into a new tree.

I'll watch over it

And make sure it gets lots of water and sunshine.

And when it gets cold

Your scarf will keep this new tree warm.

That old tree was a good home for the blue jays.

He was also a good friend for you, little bear.

Mm-hmm.

One day this seed will grow into a big tree.

Just like my little bear will one day be a big bear.

Both: mmm...

I'll always be your little bear.

(Wind gusts )

(Cawing )

...and this one is for lucy.

Thank you, little bear.

It's from fisherman bear.

A perfect fit.

Lucy loves it!

Thank you, fisherman bear.

(Deep voice ): you're welcome, lucy.

Let's play... Wedding day.

Wedding day?

Yes, lucy and fisherman bear

Are getting married.

Oh,their wedding day.

(Peeping )

(Peeping... )

The wedding guests are arriving!

(Ducklings peeping... )

(Giggles )

Duck: ready or not, here I come!

Ducklings...

Oh, hello, emily.

Hello, little bear.

Have you seen the ducklings?

Ducklings?

What ducklings?

(Peeping )

There you are!

(Peeping... )

(Quacks )

Duck...

You're just in time.

For what?

We're going to have a wedding!

Oh, ilove weddings.

(Peeping )

Lucy and fisherman bear are getting married.

You can be the flower girl, duck.

(Giggles )

Ooh...!

(Peeping )

Emily: yes.

You can be flower girls, too.

(Peeping... )

(Duck humming wedding march )

(Humming, quacking )

Before the wedding, we have to find

Something old, something new

Something borrowed and something blue.

We have to do all that before they can get married?

That's part of playing wedding day.

Oh...!

Something old, something new...

Something borrowed...

Something blue!

(Peeping )

Come on, flower girls.

(Peeping )

Duck: something old...

Both: something new

Something borrowed, something blue!

Duck: there's nothing old in here!

(Duckling peeping )

Keep looking, duck!

Something old...

Where's little peep?

I can't find little peep!

Peep!

Little peep, that's not your cookie.

It's all right, duck, she can have it.

(Peeping... )

Hmm, interesting.

This cookie is too old to eat.

Did you say tooold?

Something old!

Good job, ducklings.

You found something old.

(Peeping )

Only three more things to find.

Let's go, ducklings.

We have to find something new!

(Peeping... )

Do you see anything?

Baby birds.

Something new!

(Chirping )

They're sweet.

Hello, mother bird.

(Chirps )

I'm here to invite you and your new baby birds

To a wedding.

(Chirping )

She said yes!

(Peeping )

(Chirping )

(Chirping )

Hooray!

(Chirping )

Something old, something new.

(Peeping... )

(Both humming wedding march )

(Humming and quacking... )

Hoo...!

(Peeping )

Hmm!

Hello, duck...

And little ducks.

Owl!

Do you have something borrowed?

Borrowed?

What are you looking for?

We don't know yet

But when we find it, we have to borrow it.

Little bear: hello, owl.

Hello, little bear.

Emily: are you here for the wedding?

What wedding?

Lucy and fisherman bear

Are getting married.

It's their wedding day.

And I'm the flower girl.

(Peeping... )

(Hooting )

Ow!

Ooh, ooh, that's... Ow!

Ooh, get, get...

Ouch!

That's my feather!

Something borrowed!

May we borrow it, owl?

Well...

I suppose so.

I do have plenty more where that one came from.

(Ducklings peeping )

Little bear: come on, owl.

Help us find something blue.

Duck: I'm sorry we didn't find

Something blue, lucy.

Lucy knows we tried.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something...

(Gasps )

Blue!

The sky is blue!

It's wedding day!

(Chirping... )

(Peeping... )

(Sniffling ): oh...

You may now kiss.

And now lucy will throw the bouquet.

(Gasps )

Ooh, okay, okay, I'm ready!

(Gasps )

My turn to be the bride!

Who wants to marry me?

Owl?

Hoo...

(Peeping... )

(Owl sighs )

(Duck giggles )

(Emily and little bear laughing... )

Little bear: I'm ready to go fishing, father bear.

Areyou ready to go fishing, father bear?

Mm-hmm...

Are you almost finished with your puzzle?

Uh... Almost, yes.

"Itchy."

Itchy?

Yes, that's the clue... "Itchy."

I'm trying to think of a word that means "itchy."

Scratchy!

No...

Tickly!

(Chuckles )

No...

Um...

I know...

Ants in your pants!

(Laughing )

Oh, that's good.

(Chuckles )

Hmm...

Now can we go fishing?

But it doesn't fit, little bear.

I promise we'll go fishing

Just as soon as I finish this puzzle.

How long will that take?

Not too long.

Just a little while.

(Sighs )

Has it been a little while?

Not yet.

How long is a little while?

Not too long.

You have to be patient, little bear.

All right, father bear.

(Ticking... )

(Whispers ): hurry up.

(Ticking... )

(Sighs )

Hello, little bear.

What are you doing, mother bear?

I'm making bread.

What are you doing, little bear?

I'm trying to be patient.

Oh?

I'm waiting for father bear.

We're going fishing when he's done with his puzzle.

He's stuck on "itchy."

"Itchy?"

He can't think of a word for "itchy."

Why do you cover it up with a towel, mother bear?

It needs to rise.

The towel?

No, the bread dough, silly billy.

(Giggles )

When will it rise?

In a little while.

(Sighs )

And then we'll bake it in the oven

And when it's all done and cooled off

You can have a slice.

With honey on top?

Mm-hmm.

Mmm...

(Laughs )

Is it ready now, mother bear?

Not yet, little bear.

(Sighs )

Rise! Rise! Rise!

It isn't rising, mother bear.

It needs more time, little bear.

A little while?

A little while.

Try to be patient.

It's no fun being patient.

Little bear, are you ready to go fishing?

Did you finish your puzzle?

No, I'm stumped.

On "itchy?"

On "itchy."

Isn't that a silly clue?

I've lost all my patience with that puzzle.

Me, too.

Yay!

We're going fishing!

(Wind blows, thunder rumbles )

Oh, no...

Oh, no!

We better go back.

What about fishing?

We can't go fishing in a storm.

But, but can't we just...

We'll go fishing later when the storm is over.

When will it be over?

In a little while.

Everything takes a little while, father bear.

A little while is too long for a little bear.

Come on, we're going to get soaked.

There.

Good move, father bear.

I'm sorry we didn't go fishing.

Mm-hmm.

I like checkers.

Me, too.

(Clock ticking )

It's your move, little bear.

Um... I'm thinking, father bear.

Hmm...

(Sighs )

(Clock ticking )

What's the matter, father bear?

Aren't you going to move?

Yes, I'm going to move.

No... No, that's no good.

What's wrong with that?

That's a good move.

Hmm... But it's not the best move.

I just need some more time.

How much more time do you need?

A little while.

A little while?

(Laughs )

Oh, you...

(Both laugh )

I made some hot chocolate.

Mmm...

I'd love some hot chocolate.

Me, too.

Mother bear: wait!

It's hot.

Try to be patient, father bear.

How long do I have to wait?

A little while.

That's right.

A little while.

(Clock ticking )

I thinks it's been a little while.

(Slurps )

Ouch! Oh...

You were right, mother bear.

Hmm... Too hot.

Father bear, you're so impatient.

So am i.

It's true.

We're both impatient.

We have ants in our pants!

(Both laughing )

Ants in our pants!

Oh, my.

We're itching with impatience.

(Gasps )

Father bear, that's it!

What's it?

Your puzzle!

We're itchy and impatient!

My puzzle, you're right!

That's a very tricky clue.

They're always tricky clues.

That's why they make you itchy and impatient.

When we were impatient to go fishing...

We were itching to go fishing!

(Laughs )

(Laughs )

"Impatient."

Mother bear: it fits?

It fits!

Thank you, little bear for making me itchy and impatient.

You're welcome, father bear.

(Laughing )

(All laughing )

You're both itchy from being in the house all day.

I like being itchy!

(Laughing )

Itchy, itchy!

(Laughing )

Good night, little bear.

'Night, mother bear.

Are you sleepy?

Not yet...

(Yawns )

But I will be...

In a little while.

(Yawns )

(Laughs )
