[Birds singing ]

[Owl hooting... ]

[Hen squawks ]

Cat: boo!

[Squawking ]

All: whoa!

[All laughing ]

[Humming... ]

There's my wagon.

[Grunts ]

Hmm...

Mmm...

Uh-uh.

Cookies...

Grandfather loves cookies.

Blackberry jam...

Grandmother's favorite.

Is the soup ready, mother?

Yes, it is, little bear.

[Humming... ]

Thank you.

Soup, my favorite.

Well, I'm all packed.

Yes, and I'm sure grandmother bear

Will be thrilled with your gifts.

Have fun.

And don't make grandfather bear too tired.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

[Rattling... ]

Hmm...

Hmm...

This should help.

[Quacking... ]

Hello, little bear.

Hello, duck.

We're having biscuits and jam.

Would you like some?

Mmm... Sure.

Thank you.

Oh, dear.

We finished the jam.

I'm sorry, little bear.

That's okay, duck.

I've got some jam in my wagon.

How incredibly lucky.

Look, everyone, little bear has brought us some jam.

Um... I was saving it for...

Oh, it's just so thoughtful of you.

[Ducklings quacking... ]

[Rattles ]

It'sdelicious jam.

Thank you, little bear.

Both: thank you.

Thank you for the biscuit.

Well... I better be going.

Good-bye.

All: good-bye, little bear.

Good-bye.

[Humming ]

[Meows ]

[Gasps ] oh!

Hello, little bear.

Heading some place special?

Grandmother's house.

Looks like you've got a special load.

What's in the pot?

Soup.

Soup.

[Sniffing ]

Mmm... It smells very good, doesn't it?

[Sniffing ]

It's my favorite.

Mmm...

Maybe the pot is a bit too full.

It is very full, isn't it?

Way too full.

Perhaps we could empty it into some bowls.

If I had any bowls.

Oh, what shame.

If only you did.

Do you have any bowls?

[Purrs ]

[Slurping... ]

Mmm...

Mmm...

[Purring ]

That was delicious!

Well... It's not too full anymore.

No, it isn't

Is it?

At least I still have the cookies.

Well, thanks, cat.

I better get going.

See you.

[Purring... ]

[Humming "to grandmother's house we go..." ]

Hello, little bear.

Hello, hen.

What have you got in the wagon?

Well...

I had soup in this pot.

And jam in this jar.

And now all I have are some cookies.

What's so bad about cookies?

Nothing, but...

They look fine to me.

But we should try them to make sure.

I guess we should, shouldn't we?

Mmm...

They're delicious.

You should try one.

Maybe just one.

Mmm... [Smacks lips ]

[Clucks ]

Where are you going?

To grandmother's house.

But it's taking longer than I thought.

I love visits.

Did you bring your grandmother a nice gift?

I brought her some soup and some jam and some cookies...

But now they're all gone.

All gone!

You mean you ate all the gifts

For your grandparents?

Well, not just me.

I ran into duck and I ran into cat and then... You.

Oh, no, little bear.

Dear, dear, dear.

Go, you better get going.

You don't want to be late, too.

Mmm... [Munches... ]

Hello, little bear.

Hello, grandmother.

Hello, grandfather.

We're so happy to see you.

You've come with your wagon.

I was bringing you some gifts.

But then, along the way...

They sort of..., Uh...

Look, grandfather.

It's a wonderful gift.

It is?

Oh, yes.

Thank you, little bear.

How thoughtful you are.

Come in, come in.

It's just what we needed.

These will be perfect right here.

Isn't that lovely?

Now.

Let's all have lunch.

We're having your favorite things.

Soup and bread

And jam... And cookies.

How does that sound?

It sounds very good.

[Squirrel chattering ]

[Birds singing ]

[Slurping ]

Ah!

Have some more?

Thank you, grandmother.

I'm not eating too much, am i?

[Laughs ]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Grandfather: you're a growing bear.

We'll have lots of fun today, you and i.

Great.

Hmm...

But, father bear told me not to make you too tired.

Me? Tired?

How can you make me tired?

I am never tired.

[Both laughing ]

All... Right!

Never tired.

Not us!

[Laughing ]

Grandfather bear: oh, round and round, there we go...

[Laughing ]

[Laughs ]

Whew!

Let's dance some more, grandfather.

[Laughing and clapping... ]

Maybe you two ought to dance out the door.

Let's dance out the door.

Whee!

[Laughs ]

Well... Let me see.

Should we gather some firewood?

Good idea. Yes.

Oh! [Laughs ]

Now... Where is that firewood?

[Squeaking ]

Over there.

[Laughing ]

Yay!

Whee!

[Laughing ]

There it is, grandfather.

Where? Over there?

No, over there.

Oh...!

Over there.

By the shed.

Oh!

[Little bear gasps, laughs ]

This is fun, grandfather.

But... Father bear did tell me not to make you too tired.

Me, tired?

I am never tired.

Oh...

[Sighs ]

Come on, grandfather.

Let's go exploring.

Yes, little bear...

In just a minute.

Come on.

Shh!

[Birds singing ]

[Hushed ]: what is that?

Little bear [hushed ]: what?

On the tree.

Do you see it?

A lizard!

Hah!

[Laughs ]

Did you catch him?

No.

He was a very fast lizard.

Grandfather, look!

What is it?

Come and see.

What is it?

Come up and see!

All right, little bear.

[Yawns ]

Hurry, grandfather.

[Grunts ]

Just a minute, now.

[Grunting... ]

Ah...!

Well, I'm glad you got me up here.

Look.

You can see for miles around.

Now... What do you want me to see?

That. What is that?

Over there...

Up the hill.

Oh... That's the old sled.

For the snow.

Can we try it?

We'll try it this winter.

Let's go look at it.

Right now?

Come on, grandfather.

[Thud ]

[Sighs ]

[Groans ]

In winter, when there's snow on the ground

We can ride on this sled.

Can we ride down this hill?

This very hill.

Watch me!

[Laughing... ]

This is fun!

You should try it.

I like this hill.

So I see.

[Laughs ]

Try it, grandfather.

[Sighs ]

Oh, not today.

Come on, it's fun.

Are you tired?

Oh, no.

Not tired at all.

Grandmother bear: lunch is ready.

Lunchtime, little bear.

I'll race you.

Try it, grandfather.

Oh, I don't think so.

We played in the wheelbarrow

And we climbed in the tree

And we rolled down the hill again and again.

And grandfather never even got tired.

He didn't?

Nope. Not me.

Never tired...

No, siree.

[Slurps ]

What will you do the rest of the day?

I think we'll go exploring some more.

Or we sit in the parlor

And I'll tell you a story.

I think that's a good idea.

I love your stories, grandfather.

Now... I must have my pipe

To tell a good story.

I'll get it, grandfather.

Look at me!

[Snoring... ]

Hmm...

[Snoring... ]

[Sighs ]

[Grandfather keeps snoring... ]

[Robin singing... ]

Here's another hole, grandmother.

Thank you, little bear.

You're a very good helper.

Was mother bear a good helper when she was a cub?

Oh, yes, she loved to help in the garden.

And she especially loved to dig in the dirt.

Like me.

Yes, little bear.

Just like you.

Oh, it's getting warm.

Let's go sit in the gazebo where it's nice and cool.

Grandmother, will you tell me a story?

Of course.

Now, let's see, which story?

Um...

[Bird singing ]

[Singing... ]

I think that robin wants to hear a story, too.

Do you really think so?

Yes, definitely.

You know, your mother had a robin once.

She did?

Yes, when she was just about your age.

Tell me that story, grandmother.

Please.

All right.

I'll tell you the story

Of mother bear and her robin.

[Humming... ]

Grandmother bear: one spring day, mother bear

Found a baby robin in the garden.

A baby robin too little to fly.

[Chirps ]

Oh! I'm sorry, little robin.

[Chirps ]

Pretty little bird

Where did you come from?

From my nest.

And where is your nest?

Up there... I think.

[Mother bird calls loudly ]

[Babies cheeping ]

I'm sorry.

That's a bluebird's nest.

M-maybe over there?

I'll go see.

[Cheeping ]

No. This is an oriole's nest.

Oh, dear.

Maybe this one.

[Cheeping ]

No. Swallows.

Oh, dear.

[Screeches... ]

Oh, dear.

Don't worry.

You can live with me.

I can?

Yes.

I'll take care of you.

[Cheeps ]

Look what I've made

For you, little robin.

[Cheeps ]

Will you put me by the window, please?

Of course.

[Birds screeching... ]

It must be fun to fly out there.

You'll be able to fly someday.

Can you sing?

[Whistling... ]

[Tries to whistle ]

[Clears throat ]

[Tries again ]

You'll be able to sing someday, too.

You'll be able to sing and fly all around the house.

Are you hungry, little robin?

Oh, yes.

Yes, please.

[Chirps ]

[Gulps ]

[Little bear giggles ]

He gulped it right down?

[Laughs ] yes.

He was a really hungry robin.

The little robin ate...

[Chirps ]

It ate and it grew.

[Whistling ]

It grew... And it sang.

[Singing... ]

[Mother bear whistles along ]

It grew and it sang...

[Wings flapping ]

And soon it could fly.

What shall we do today?

We can fly.

Oh, okay.

Let's fly.

I can fly like a robin, too.

[Laughing ]

[Singing... ]

Very good, little bear.

[Laughing ]

Oh!

Ooh!

Flying is hard work.

Not for me.

They had a lot of fun together

Didn't they, grandmother?

Yes, they did. For a while.

But then one day

The robin was unhappy.

What's wrong, little robin?

I don't know.

Why don't you sing?

I don't feel like singing.

You can fly around the house.

I don't feel like flying.

[Bird calls loudly ]

[Birds calling... ]

[Chirping and splashing ]

My poor little robin.

But...

You're not so little anymore, are you?

Why was the robin so sad, grandmother?

I think you'll understand when I finish the story.

I love you, little robin.

And I'll miss you.

But I want you to be happy and free.

And fly in the sky as high as you please.

[Birds chirping... ]

But I want to stay with you.

I'd like that too, pretty robin.

But you should be with all the other robins.

Now, fly!

Please, don't be sad.

I love you, and I promise

Every year I'll come back

And we can sing and fly together.

[Kisses ]

Good-bye.

[Singing ]

Little bear: and robin did come back, didn't it, grandmother?

Oh, yes, little bear.

It came back, and its children came back

And its children's children.

Here's one now.

[Chirping ]

[Singing... ]

[Whistles mother bear's song ]

[Whistling... ]

[Robin sings... ]

I would have let the robin go free, too.

I'm sure you would, little bear.

[Robin sings mother bear's song ]

[Little bear joins in... ]
