[ Sister ]: when there's a job

To do, you will find...

[ Brother ]: it's best to have

A plan in mind.

[ Horn honking ]

[ Brother ]: here she comes!

Hi, lizzie!

Hi, sister.

We're gonna have such a great time, sister.

I can hardly wait!

I have to thank you again

For inviting us to your cottage

For the weekend, mrs. Bruin.

It will be a pleasure to have you.

I only wish the charity yard sale

Was on a different weekend, so you and I could go up

With papa and the cubs.

[ Laughing ]

They're really excited.

Almost as excited as papa, ha, ha.

Tell mr. Bruin that he might as well

Leave his fishing pole behind.

By the time he comes up tomorrow,

The cubs and I will have fished the lake clean.

Look out fish, here we come.

Excuse me, papa?

Aren't you forgetting something?

Heh-heh... Oops.

[ Papa ]: all right, everybody in.

Maybe you should check to make sure

You have everything you'll need.

Ok-- one, two, three.

We're all set.

But what about our bait bucket, papa?

And our tackle box?

And our fishing rods?

Oops.

[ Laughing nervously [

It's always a good idea to plan ahead

And make a list of all the things

You might need, so you don't forget anything.

Got your bait bucket?

Yes.

Got your tackle box?

Yes.

Got your fishing rods?

Yes.

Then we're all set!

[ Whistling cheerfully ]

We'll see you up there tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Bye! [ Papa ]: bye-bye!

Bye, mama. Bye, mrs. Bruin.

We will be waiting with the best fish fry ever!

[ Mama ]: oh, ho, papa.

Sometimes, he's more of a cub than the cubs.

♪

[ Gulls calling ]

♪

Sure is a long way down there.

Maybe we should do what mama said

And think ahead before we go.

Yes, so we don't have to come all the way back up

To get anything we might need.

I'll make a list.

Ha, ha, you don't catch fish with a list.

[ Whistling ]

[ Papa ]: tackle box, bait bucket and poles.

We got everything we need.

[ ♪♪ ]

[ Papa ]: phew!

That is a long way down.

Ha, ha... Sure glad

Gravity was on our side.

Hey! Gee, I don't know if the fish are biting,

But the mosquitoes sure are.

Ouch!ow!

[ Sister ]: too bad they're not on our side, too.

I guess bringing along some bug spray

Would have been a good idea.

There's some in the cottage.

[ Papa ]: oh... Well, then,

I guess I'll just scoot back up and get it.

Ow!

[ Papa ]: well, I'm really glad to see

That the fishing gear's in the boat and you're not.

[ Sister ]: don't worry.

We know better than to get in a boat without lifejackets on.

Exactly.

Uh... There are lifejackets, aren't there?

[ Lizzy ]: of course...

Up in the cottage.

Well, can't go into the boat without them.

So... I guess...

Hmm...

Let's skip stones.

Bet mine will go the farthest.

Bet I skip the most.

[ Sister ]: whoa!

[ Lizzy ]:ta-da!

[ Papa panting ]

[ Laughing ] papa's back.

Ok, does everyone know how to put these on?

You betcha! Yep!

Uh-huh.

Good and snug.

Good... Fine... Uh-huh.

Look out fish,

Here we come!

Let me guess.

The oars are up at the cottage?

[ Lizzy ]: uh-huh.

[ Groaning, splashing ]

Huh?

[ Brother ]: wow!

[ Sister ]: oooh![ Lizzy gasping ]

Whoa-ho-ho![ Brother ]:cool!

[ Sister ]: that's the biggest fish

I've ever seen.

Ok! Everybody out of the boat until I get the oars!

[ Panting ]

[ Sister ]: maybe we should

Make a list, papa?

Oh, ho, just let me get the oars

And that whopper is as good as caught.

[ Gull calling ]

A fish that size is going to put up quite a fight.

[ Sister ]: uh... Then maybe we

Should have brought the fish net.

[ Groaning ]

♪

[ Speaking inaudibly ]

♪

[ Speaking inaudibly ]

♪

It sure is nice out here.

[ Sighing ] sure is.

Nice, warm sunshine, fresh air.

[ Sighing ]

It's a perfect day.

[ Sighing ] perfect, except for one thing--

The fish aren't biting.

And an old fishologist like me knows,

It's because it's too hot.

Oh... I guess I spent too much time going up and down.

Now it is high noon, the sun's out full, the fish have fed

And now they are keeping low on the bottom,

Avoiding the heat, and us.

It is kind of hot.

Maybe we should have brought our sun hats.

And something to drink.

I'm thirsty.

And I'm hungry.

Oh, me too.[ Thunder rumbling ]

Uh-oh, maybe rain hats would have been a good idea.

[ Brother ]: ah! A bucket would have been a good idea too.

[ Sighing ]

Hey, where's papa?

Ohh... I don't mind telling you cubs

That all my ups and downs

Have really worn me out.

[ Brother ]: don't worry, papa.

We'll help you.

Thanks, cubs. But the worst part of it is

I promised we'd have the best fish fry ever

All set for mama and the bruins.

And we haven't even caught a minnow.

[ Sister ]: that's ok, papa.

We'll get a good night's rest...

Then we can get up bright and early tomorrow morning...

[ Brother ]: and catch all kinds

Of fish, maybe even the whopper.

[ Brother ]: wake up, papa.

[ Sister ]: up and at 'em.

[ Papa ]: ohh... My aching... Everything.

Time to go catch that whopper.

Ohh! Oh, sorry, cubs.

I'm so stiff and sore from all that up and down, uh...

I can hardly move.

Ouch.

[ Lizzy ]: ok, let's make a plan.

Let's think up all the things

We might need to go fishing today.

And make a list!

Ok, bug spray.

Lifejackets.

Oars.

Bait bucket.

Oh... I just can't bear the thought

Of another day of up and down.

[ Sighing ]

[ Sister]: don't worry, papa.

Your ups and downs are over.

Ha, ha, good thing you cubs remembered

To bring the oars and the lifejackets.

And the bug spray.

Saves me a trip up and down those stairs again.

Every time I went up or down them yesterday,

It seemed like someone had added a few more stairs each time.

[ Laughing ]

Ahh, no ups and downs today-- ouch!

Oh, it looks like I spoke too soon.

Oh, sorry, cubs, but I have to go back up to the cottage

To get the first-aid kit.

No, you don't. We planned ahead.

We remembered that time we went camping

And I cut my foot on a sharp rock.

[ Lizzy ]: the first-aid kit was

Right at the top of our list.

Well, what do you know? Thanks.

[ Sister ]: and just in case we get hungry...

[ Lizzy ]: or thirsty...

[ Brother ]: we brought peanut butter sandwiches

And some apples and some water.

Ha, ha, I bet you even brought an umbrella

To protect us from the sun.

[ Brother ]:no.

The umbrella is in case it rains again.

The sunscreen we brought is

To protect us from the sun.

Two kinds!

Well, you cubs certainly thought of everything.

[ Splashing ]

[ Brother ]: oh, there he is!

[ Sister ]: oooh! [ Lizzy ]:wow!

Hoo-hoo!let's get him.

Yay!

[ Laughing ]

[ Whistling happily ]

[ Mama ]: that's quite the catch.

[ Papa ]: ha, just as we promised, the best fish fry ever.

And it's all thanks to the cubs.

We thought ahead and made a plan,

So we wouldn't forget anything we might need.

That way, we could spend the whole

Morning enjoying our fishing.

Instead of going up and down the stairs all day.

[ Chuckling ] yep. The cubs sure

Taught me a lesson about

Looking ahead and having a plan.

From now on, I'm always going to

Make a plan before I go anywhere.

[ Lock rattling ]i think it's locked.

Uh-oh, I must have left the keys the boat.

[ Laughing ]

Good thing I planned ahead

And put a spare key in my pocket.

[ Mama ]: oh, ho, dear.

[ Laughing ]

[ Sister ]: oh, papa.

[ Brother ]: when cubs try to

Grow up too fast,

They miss out on things

They did in the past.

[ Laughing and whooping ]

Nice tree fort, lizzy.

Thanks.[ Laughing ]

Boy, we could live up here forever.

[ Papa ]: brother!

Sister!

Or at least until supper time.

Earth to moon station, do you read me? Over.

Loud and clear, papa.

Come on up.

You must be joking.

Tree climbing's for spry, young cubs like you three.

Not for big, old grown-up bears like me.

Aww, you're not that old, papa.

Some dinosaurs are older.

Well, then, watch out for the tickle-o-saurus.

[ Laughing ]

Whoo-hoo!

[ Papa ]: let's go, brother.

Mama and I have a family matter to discuss with you and sister.

[ Mama ]: every day when you two arrive home from school,

One of us is here to greet you.

And you always ask us how our day was.

And make us a snack.

But tomorrow,

We're going to change that a little.

Mama and I have important business

That we both have to take care of.

So we won't be getting back

Until shortly after you're already home.

But then, who is going to let us in?

[ Mama ]: brother.

Huh?

[ Mama ]: we've decided

That you're grown up enough to handle the responsibility

Of looking after yourself and sister

For a short time after school.

That's why we're giving you your

Very own key to the tree house.

My very own key.

Wow!

Thanks, papa.

Don't worry, I'm grown-up enough to handle it.

After our snack,

Do you want to play a game?

No, I think it would be best

What about you?

Don't you have homework too?

I'll get straight to it,

Right after I finish cleaning up our dishes.

[ Sighing ]

[ Door opening ]

[ Mama ]: papa,

Will you look at this?

The kitchen's all cleaned up.

And I see you have already

Started on your homework, sister.

That's getting right to it.

This important grown-up job just fine, brother.

Well done.

Would you like some cereal, brother?

Um...

No thank you, mama.

I think I'll have... Toast with honey and a cup of coffee.

I don't think so.

How about a cup of cocoa instead?

You know, papa,

If there are any other important,

Well, as a matter of fact,

I do have plenty of other important, grown-up jobs

Really?

Ahem...

I mean, uh, really?

[ Papa ]: it's a kitchen table-- do you think

You are grown-up enough to help me build it?

You bet!

Uhh, I mean, yes.

Where's my tool belt, papa?

Ha, ha, you're right.

If you're going to help me build a table,

You'll need your own tool belt.

There. How's that?

[ Sandpaper scraping ]

That's getting nice and smooth.

Yes, nice and smooth.

[ Sister ]: hey, brother!

Do you want to playspace grizzlieswith freddy and me?

I'm the bad guy.

Sorry, but I don't really

Have any time to play.

Papa and I are busy doing important grown-up jobs.

Thanks anyway.

Ok, we're headed for the hardware store next.

The hardware store? Cool!

Come on, freddy.

Let's see if lizzy wants to play.

Her tree fort can be the space grizzly base.

We need to pick up some paint to finish the table.

♪

[ Papa ]: hmm, a nice fire engine red?

Or a nice forest green?

Ah-ha!

How about ocean blue?

Ok, ocean blue it is.

Two cans please.

Uh, we also need a new brush.

Oh, ha, ha--

Make that two new brushes.

[ Papa ]: watch carefully now.

Dip the brush in, then wipe off

The extra paint on the edge, like this.

Then lay the paint down in nice, even strokes.

Now you try.

Ha, ha, just like that.

Now, you start at that end of the table

And I'll start at this end.

[ Laughing ] see you in the middle.

You betcha.

[ Sister ]: i, princess gemma, command you, evil alien--

Wherever you are-- to leave my planet at once!

Shh, don't give me away.

I am about to sneak into the ultimate space castle

And capture princess gemma.

Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.

Good.

Hey, if you want, you can still playspace grizzlieswith us.

Lenny's coming over to play too.

Uh, no thanks, freddy.

I still have lots of important grown-up stuff to do with papa.

Ok.

I, princess gemma, banish you, evil space alien,

Into the black hole vortex!

Yes, into the vortex, evil alien.

[ Lizzy laughing dramatically ]

Ahh!

I'm being sucked into the black hole vortex!

But I warn you, princess,

I'll be back.

Just you wait!

Ahh!

Ok, I'm back.

Told you! [ Laughing maniacally ]

[ Squealing ]

You finished painting the table already?

You were busy.

[ Knocking ]

Oh, excuse me, but I need help.

Silly me, I've locked myself out of my house

And dear, old percy is inside,

All alone, meowing like the dickens.

Don't worry, ms. Grizzle.

I'm sure there's a way to get your door open.

You betcha.

Sorry, ms. Grizzle,

I've tried everything I can think of.

All we can do now is call a locksmith.

It may take a while, though.oh!

Hmm... There's no other way.

[ Brother ]: yes, there is, papa!

Up here!

I'll have percy out in a jiffy, ms. Grizzle.

How did he get up there?

[ Laughing ] the same way I used to when I was his age.

When I was just a slip of a girl, I used to zip

Up and down this tree to get into my room all the time.

It was quicker than using the stairs.

It was an easy climber, as I recall.

It looks like it still is, ms. Grizzle.

For spry, young cubs, that is, not grown-ups like us.

Ta-da![ Meowing ]

Oh, thank you so much for helping me out, brother.

Or, should I say,

Helping percy out.[ Meowing ]

[ Laughing ]

[Freddy ]: throw home! Throw home!

[ Grunting ]

Hey, you got a baseball game going without me?

We didn't bother asking you...

Because, well,

You're too busy doing important grown-up jobs.

Well, yes, I am, but--

[ Freddy ]: come on, sister.

Our team's at bat.

I'm up first!papa,

You know, I like the important jobs

You get to do when you're all grown up,

But I miss playing with my friends.

Then maybe you shouldn't be in such a hurry to grow up.

It's not just grown-ups who have important jobs to do.

Really?

[ Papa ]: sure.

Cubs have all sorts of important jobs to do too.

You already take care of little lady:

Feeding her and making sure she gets lots of exercise.

That's an important job.

Oh.

And being a big brother to sister

When she needs help with her homework,

Or wants to learn how

To throw a curveball are important jobs too.

And don't forget about ms. Grizzle.

A grown-up bear like me

Would never have been able to climb up that tree.

Only a cub could have done that.

I never thought of that.

[ Papa ]: and just being a good friend

To your pals is also a very important job.

Papa, would it be ok if I was a good friend

Right now and went to play baseball?

[ Chuckling ]: you betcha.

Thanks.

And I'll be glad to give you a hand with any grown-up jobs,

If I can squeeze them in with all my cub jobs, too.

Ok?any time.

Your tool belt will be right here waiting.
