[snoring softly...]

Hoo... hoo...

MOTHER BEAR: Little Bear?

I thought you were in bed.

I'm looking at the moon.

Come and see, Mother Bear.

Mmm... it's beautiful, isn't it?

You've always liked the moon.

Even when I was a little bear cub?

[yawns]

Even then.

[yawns]

I'm sleepy.

Do you want me to tell you a bedtime story?

Yes.

Time for you to be in bed, Mother Bed.

It's past your bedtime.

It certainly is.

I'm going to tuck you in.

There.

Now...

A long time ago, there was a bear.

What kind of bear?

A little bear.

And he lived with his mother bear and father bear.

And his mother bear was very beautiful.

Oh, my goodness.

FATHER BEAR: What about his father bear?

[chuckles]

Come and sit with us, Father Bear.

Little Bear's telling me a bedtime story.

Oh, I love a good story.

One night, Mother Bear and Father Bear

wanted Little Bear to look at the moon.

[laughs]

[wind blowing]

Whee-hee-hee... oh!

FATHER BEAR: Look, Little Bear.

Look how big the moon is!

It's so bright!

[both laugh]

[laughing...]

Hmm...

Hello, moon.

Hello.

Are you the moon?

No, I'm not the moon.

You're a bird.

I'm anowl.

I'm a bear.

[laughs]

So you are.

My name is Little Bear.

My name is Owl.

Come down and play with me, Owl.

You can fly!

Yes, of course.

Can you fly up to the moon?

[laughs]

The moon is pretty far away.

But you said you can fly.

Oh, I can.

I can fly, too!

[laughs]

I'm flying!

[laughs]

Oh!Oh... ooh!

Sorry, Owl.

I was flying.

I see.

OWL: I like the night.

[Little Bear sighs]

I like the moon.

Come back, moon!

Are you ever afraid of the dark?

Owls can see very well at night.

Bears can see very well during the day.

[crickets chirping...]

I like the way the night sounds.

Listen.

Do you hear it?

Uh-huh.

It's the crickets.

It sounds like music.

[crickets continue chirping...]

[imitating]: Brrt... brrt... brrt...

What's wrong, Little Bear?

Hmm... there's something missing.

What?

rI don't know.

A sound. I heard it earlier.

I wonder what it was.

Or "hoo" it was?

Hoo!

It was you!

Hoo?

How do you make that sound?

It's just a thing owls do.

Is it your bedtime, too?

No, owls like to stay up very late at night.

Oh.

See you tomorrow, Little Bear.

Good-bye, Owl!

Hoo-hoo!

Hoo-hoo!

And that's how Little Bear met Owl.

And now, whenever it's night

Little Bear always thinks about his good friend Owl.

That was a very good story, Little Bear.

Except you forgot the part where someone goes to sleep.

Hoo?

Hoo... do you think?

[kisses]

[laughs]

Good night.

Good night, Little Bear.

Hoo, hoo...

Hoo, hoo...
