Boo! (Laughs)

Have you ever tried to play a great game with your pals,

But somehow it just didn't work out?

That's what happened when my friend rabbit

Said we should play a game together.

Rabbit said, "follow the leader" is easy to play together

Because all you have to do is...

Follow the leader! (Giggles)

All you have to do is follow the leader,

And that's me!

Watch closely, mouse!

Rabbit and mouse(laughter)

(Laughter)

Come on, mouse! (Laughs)

(Laughs)

(Laughter)

(Pants and giggles)

You're not following.

Why don't we play follow the slow leader?

Follow the slow leader.

Well, stop my hops,

That's even better!

(Laughter)

(Grunts of effort and giggling)

(Panting)

Come on, mouse! Ha ha!

(Moans)

(Grunts of effort)

Rabbit? Rabbit!

Oh, really big problem.

How can I play follow the leader

If I can't even find the leader?

Rabbit! Rabbit!

Down here, mouse!

Mouse(falling grunt) (laughter)

Mouseyou hopped too high!

My legs aren't as hoppy as yours. (Giggles)

Of course... Yes...

Hmmm... Hop...

Aha!

We can still play together

If we have a leader

That can't hop too high!

That's you!

Me? Leader?

Really?

Yeah!

I am the leader?

I am the leader!

So... Lead!

(Laughter)

Ambershould we play in the pond?

Coral(gasps) or slide down the sandbank?

Jadeor we can waddle in the waterfall?

Pearlwe could ramble through the reeds!

Mouse(giggling)

Coral, amber and pearlstrange! Weird! Bizarre!

Jadeand very peculiar!

Gibble girlsstop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

What are you doing?

Playing follow the leader.

They're playing follow the leader.

(Gasp) can we play?

(Laughs)

Hippity-hoppity!

More players, more fun! Line up.

Mouseah-ha! Yah-yah-yah-yah! (Giggles)

You're supposed to be in a line.

Jadewe are in a line!

(Chuckles)

They are in a line... (Giggles)

Sort of.

(Chuckle) well, I'll be thumped.

I guess they are.

Mousewhoop! Hoo! (Giggling)

Rabbit and gibble girls(laugh)

Gibble girls(giggling)

Hazelhold it! Stop! Don't move! Freeze!
[ … ]

Sorry. Not this way.

The wind blew my acorns all over.

Have you ever seen an acorn

That's been stepped on?

It's tragic! And messy! (Giggles)

We're playing together, hazel.

Do you want to play follow the leader with us?

Follow the leader? Have I played that?

Leap squirrel, acorn tossing,

Berry bowling, shell sliding.

Nope, never played follow the leader.

Wish I could play with you,

But I'm busy. I have to pick up my acorns.

It's what I do!

This is a puzzle!

A problem!

A conundrum!

Ah...

What she said!

This is a tail-twitcher!

How can hazel play follow the leader with us

And also pick up her acorns?

Allhmmm...

Better hop-think on this one.

("Hmm" as they think)

Hmmm...

Hazel wants to play!

We want her to play!

But she needs to pick up her acorns.

Amberwe could wait!

Pearlwe could help!

Pearl's right! We could help and play.

Let's follow the leader to the acorns.

And I'll be the leader.

Are you an experienced acorn finder?

No.

If hazel was leader...

She could lead....

And find her acorns.

Problem solved!

Carrotastic! We hopped it out!

(Cheering and laughter) yay!

Follow me! Watch your feet.

Thunderwhere are we going?

Nowhere, we're playing follow the leader.

Oh!

Hey, that's what I'm doing?

Following!

Thorny-horns,

I'm already good at this game.

♪♪♪

(Leaping grunts)

Thunderwhooooa!

Whoa!

Allaahhh! (Laughter)

Coral and amberobvious! Clear as day!

Pearl and jadeshould have known! Thunder's too heavy!

(Grunts of effort)

Maybe, the leader, ungh,

Should stay on the ground, ungh,

So we can all play. (Grunts)

(Laughs)

Stay on the ground! (Chuckles)

Good idea!

(Laughter)

Mouse♪ follow the leader

All(laugh)

Hazelwhat happened?

Gibble girlsthunder's too big.

He can't follow mouse.

Pearlcause mouse is little!

Jadelike us! (Laugh)

(Giggles) when you're small

You don't always think big.

(Giggles)

Maybe we could make thunder the leader?

All(cheer in agreement)

Rabbitgreat idea, hazel! Yeah!

What? Me leader?

Well, toot my horn.

Let's go!

Thunder?
[ … ]

Huh?

Slowly.

Slowly.

Got it! I can do slowly.

♪♪♪

Uh, guys? (Giggling)

Normal slowly might be better.

(Water splashes)

Wet! No!

I don't want to get wet.

I refuse to get wet.

Don't make me get wet!

Someone's in a feather flap.

It's just a little water.

A squirrel with a wet tail?

Soggy and not pretty.

A game should be fun for everyone.

So, no getting wet!

Coralanother puzzle!

Jadeanother problem!

Pearlanother conundrum!

Amberwhat'll we do?

Mm? Hm, hm, hm.

(Chuckles) look.

Rabbit's getting an idea.

Rabbitthumpika!

That's it!

There's only one way

For a leader to go where they want!

We will all be leaders!

All(chatter excitedly in agreement)

Good idea! No. Great idea!

Hazelyeah! Let's all be leaders!

Leaders.... Lead!

♪ I am the leader

♪ Nd you're the follow-

Hey? Where are my followers?

This is fun. I-isn't it?

Well, I think it's fun.

Follow me!

Uh, or not!

(Birds chirp)

I'm waiting!

Hmm...

This "everyone being a leader" thing

Seemed like a good idea, but...

If everyone is a leader, there's no one to follow.

You end up playing by yourself.

So we needed to find a way we could all play together.

Coral(giggles)

Coral and pearl(speaking to each other) where were you? Where were you?

No one behind me!

(Laughs) weird!

Jadei was waddle-struck!

Amber(laughs) me too!

Mouse(laughs) seemed like a good idea.

But did we ever mess up.

Rabbit(laughs) I don't think that idea worked too well.

Allnooo!

We'd better hop it out again.

All("hmm" as they think)

Hmm...

Hmm...

Rabbitwe all want to play together, right?

Allright!

But we have to find a way to play

Where it doesn't matter how fast we are,

Or how small we are,

Or how big.

And we have to stay on the ground.

And can't get wet!

(Laughs) or go in small spaces.

It's hard to lead.

It's hard to follow.

It's hard to lead and follow.

Maybe follow the leader isn't the best game for us?

Maybe we should pick another game to play.

Hazel, mouse and coraltree tumbling! Hide and seek! Spin the lily pad!

Jade, thunder and mousepond dipping! Pat-a-horn! Hide and seek!

Rabbit, pearl and amberradish racing! Water burping! Tadpole racing!

Mousehide and seek!

All(except mouse) hide and seek! Yeah! (Laughter)

Rabbitthat's a great idea!

So, we all played hide and seek.

It was great!

(Whispering) and my friend rabbit tried really hard

To find everybody.

But he will never find me.

Shh! (Giggles)

Rabbiti see thunder and hazel

And amber, pearl, jade and coral.

But where's mouse?

Mouse? Mouse!

Where are you?

Home free! (Giggles)

Rabbithey!

My friend rabbit usually thinks up

The best games to play.

But today, he wanted to do something

I thought would be no fun at all
[ … ]

Play in the rain! Yuck!

So I said, "no thanks". (Giggles)

But he's a hard rabbit to say "no" to!

Mouse?

Mouse! Where are you?

Mousedown here, in the hedge.

Ahh! Oh, please don't drip on me?

What are you doing in there?

Staying dry.

But we were going to play together.

That was before it started raining.

Mm! I don't like getting wet!

Heh. You don't have to get wet!

Just run between the rain drops,

Like me!

(Leaping grunts) I'm not wet!

(Chuckles) oof!

Oh! (Chuckles)

Okay. I'm wet.

Exactly!

Sorry, but I don't wanna play

Unless the rain stops.

Then there's only one thing to do!

(Worried groan)

We have to make it stop raining!

We have to what?

How are we supposed to do that?!

Okay, clouds. We've had enough!

Can you please stop raining?

Pearlhi, guys! What'cha doing?

We're trying to make the rain stop.

Mouse doesn't like it.

Why? Rainy days are so much fun!

Easy for you to say.

Your feathers are waterproof.

Do any of you know how to make the rain stop?

No. Uh-uh.

Sorry. Not a clue.

Hmm...

I need to hop-think about this.

("Hmm's" as he thinks)

Gibble goose girlshmm...

Jadei know!

Pearl, amber and coralooh! (Giggles)

Let's throw the rain back up into the clouds!

Agh!

Pearl, amber and coral(giggle)

Or how about if we make scary faces

To scare the clouds away?

Ooh yeah!

That's a swimmy idea!

That just might work!

Rabbit makes great scary faces. (Laughs)

Hey, clouds!

Down here!

Look at us!

All(growling)

(Hoot of laughter)

Pearl!

That's not scary,

That's funny!

All(hysterical laughter)

Aw, cabbage. It's raining harder.

(Sighs) thanks for trying, everyone,

But I think I'm gonna head back

To my nice, dry hedge.

Bye.

But I really wanted to play with him today.

Pearlsorry, rabbit.

He doesn't know what he's missing.

Amberyou can come swimming with us.

Thanks, amber,

But I'm not giving up on mouse yet!

(Groaning)

Rabbitmouse, wait! Don't go!

I told you before, rabbit.

I don't like playing in the rain.

But what if we can think up

A rainy-day game that you like?

Something really, really fun?

Fun? In the rain?!

I don't know.

Can we try?

Pretty-please with radishes on top?

He's gonna bug me until I say yes.

Okay, yes! Fine, we can try.

(Laughs) yippee!

Yippee!

Why are we cheering?

Because mouse and I are going to find

A rainy-day game to play!

Can I help? I can do help.

Okay! Help me hop-think of a game for us to play.

Let's see.

Thunder("hmm's" as he thinks)

Rabbitwhat's fun about rainy days?

There's big, wet puddles.

And nice dry hedges?

And slippery worms.

And mud!
[ … ]

(Sploosh)

(Chuckles) mud!

(Gasps) a game with mud!

Thump-eka!

We can make mud-music!

Mud-music?

Mud! Come on, try it! (Laughter)

I did promise to try.

Whoaaa...

Ooh, you're good at this!

But I don't wanna be good at it!

Can we try something less muddy?

Thunderfaster, wendy, faster! (Laughs)

Go, walter! (Laughs)

You can do it!

We're racing worms.

Rabbitisn't this great?

I told you worms were fun!

They're also slimy.

Which is not so fun.

Look, I'm sorry, but I just don't see

What's so great about mud or worms,

Or rainy days at all!

I'm soggy and wet and everything is muddy

And brown...

And red and blue and yellow and...

What? Where do you see that?

Up there!

Mouserabbit, did you put that there?

Rabbitno, it came all by itself!

It's pretty. Let's go see it!

Yeah!

It looks like it starts there.

Come on!

(Moans) ohhh...

Okay!

(Mud sloshes)

(Groans)

Rabbiti thought the rainbow started down here;

Where'd it go?

Hi, guys!

Don't you just love all these puddles?

Yeah! I love splashing in them.

Mousewell, I don't.

I've had to step around them all day.

Step around the puddles? Why?!

Mouse doesn't like getting wet.

Or muddy or slimy.

Oh, I see.

Still, it seems like a waste of a good puddle.

Maybe there's something else you could do with them?

Yeah! Like skip stones across them!

Or float things in them.

Or jump over them!

If you're a good jumper, you won't even get wet!

Whoop! Ta-da!

Hoppity!

Wow! You jump far!

Very far!

Let me try!

Woo-hoo-hoo!

That was fun! Try it, mouse.

But it's humongously big!

Hmm...

Oh!

Whoaoa!

Rabbitall right! Yeah!

Thunder and hazelgood one! Great idea!

It was, wasn't it?

I got a little wet,

But that was almost fun!

(Gasps) really?

I said "almost"!

Almost fun!

I can do puddle-jump! My turn!

(Leaping grunt) (water splashes)

Aww! Now I'm all muddy again!

Never mind the mud -

We still have to find the rainbow!

What rainbow?

The one we're chasing!

Have you seen it?

Let's see...

I've seen a rain storm,

A rain dance, a rain forest

And a misty rain that made my tail go frizzy,

But... Nope! Never seen a rainbow.

Then come with us!

It's going to be beautiful!

Mousethere it is! Over the pond!

Rabbit, thunder and hazel(gasps of awe)

Rabbit(gasps) jasper, look!

Isn't it pretty?

It sure is.

Ooh! I always find

The prettiest stones in the rain.

(Chuckles)

You go out in the rain just to pick up stones?

Sure! The rain makes them sparkle.

This is my favourite kind of day.
[ … ]

It's not my favourite.

But I do like that.

Huh?

A rainbow.

We want to see it up close.

So we're trying to catch up to it,

But it keeps getting further away!

(Chuckles)

Yeah, that's what they do.

I've never heard of anybody catching up to a rainbow.

Well, we're going to do it.

Because we're fast!

And smart!

And we're already wet,

So there's no point stopping now.

Ouch! Owie-owie-ow!

Ooh, ooh, I stubbed my paw on that pointy old...

Stone.

Hey, it's kind of pretty!

Ooh! The rain does make it sparkle!

Yeah. (Chuckles)

It's almost worth stubbing my paw for.

It's great!

But if we're going to catch up to that rainbow,

We have to get hopping.

Come on, let's go!

Jasper? Aren't you coming?

No, that's okay.

But good luck!

(Chuckles)

Thunderare we there yet?

Rabbitno.

Are we there yet?

Rabbitno.

Are we there yet?

Rabbityes! (Gasps)

How'd the rainbow get all the way over there?

Uh, maybe it slid down the other side?

The grass is pretty wet and slip-

Whoaaa! Woo-hoo!

Hey! No fair having fun without us!

Wa-hoo! (Laughs)

Wanna try it? Let's do it!

Oh, my whiskers. I don't know.

I'll get all muddy and grassy!

Not if you ride on me.

I'll be a rabbit-slider!

Hop on!

Rabbit and mousewa-hoo! Weeee!

(Laughter)

Rabbitokay! (Laughs)

That was the most fun ever!

I want to slide again, again and again!

Then you'd better do it soon,

'Cause I think the rain's stopping.

And look, the rainbow's going away!

Oh! But we never got to see it up close!

Not to worry.

It'll come back the next time it rains.

Then I hope it rains again soon.

You do? Really?

Really!

I can't wait to go sliding again

And puddle-jumping and stone-finding

And even worm-racing!

(Laughter)

Hazelcome on, let's have one more slide!

Almost forgot something.

(Relaxed sigh)

So now I have this pretty stone

To remind me of when rabbit got me to play in the rain.

And I'm sure glad I did,

I would've missed out on a lot of fun!

But it is nice to be dry again.

Ah! Oh!

Hey! What was that for?

It's for jumping over!

I brought us our very own puddle

For puddle-jumping.

(Laughs) wa-hoo!

(Laughs) rabbit.

Both(laugh)
