[Birds singing ]

[Owl hooting... ]

[Hen squawks ]

Cat: boo!

[Squawking ]

All: whoa!

[All laughing ]

When will it be done?

Just in time for your friends to have a piece.

Friends?

My friends are coming over.

Oh.

Well, you must be very quiet

Because mother bear is going to be paying bills.

And father bear is going to be reading his newspaper.

We'll be very quiet.

I promise.

Good.

Shh.

Shh.

[Thunder rumbling... ]

[Sighs ]

[Thunder rumbling... ]

Wha...!

Whee!

[Squawks ]

They're here!

[Sighs ]

Sorry.

[Quietly ]: hi, everybody.

Come in.

Hi, little bear.

It's my favorite kind of weather!

Maybe we should go outside and...

Duck, this is terrible weather.

I'll say.

And little bear has invited us to play inside today.

Oh!

Come on.

Let's play with the seashells father bear brought home.

Shh.

Shh...

Hello, father bear.

Good morning, hen.

Hello.

Cat.

Hi, father bear.

[Sighs ]

Hello, duck.

What's wrong with father bear?

He likes quiet when he's reading the paper.

What?

Shh.

Shh.

Remember, if we listen carefully

We can hear the sound of the ocean.

Ah, I hear it.

You do?

I do... [Hiccups ] ...too.

[Hiccups ]

Shh.

I can't hear.

I can't... [Hiccups ] ...help it.

[Hiccups ]

[Hiccup echoes ]

[Hiccup echoes ]

[Hiccups ]

What's wrong?

He has the hiccups.

Very observant, hen.

Shh.

[Hiccups ]

Let me get you some water, little bear.

Ah, that's better.

Water always works.

[Hiccups ]

Oh...

Oh, dear.

Owl: hello, everybody.

Sorry I'm late.

[Sighs ]

Have I missed anything?

I guess you don't bother to knock anymore.

Mother bear: thank goodness owl is here.

He'll know what to do.

About what?

Water won't stop my... [Hiccups ] ...hiccups.

Well, now.

Let me think.

Water is a good idea, but...

He must hold his breath, too.

[Hiccups ]

How can i... [Hiccups ] ...hold my breath, too?

[Hiccups ]

Well, you could try.

Trying never hurt anybody.

For how long?

For as long as it takes.

[Takes a deep breath ]

Uh... Hmm...[Squawks ]

[Mumbling "now?" ]

Longer.

[Grunting and groaning... ]

Pah...!

Well?

It worked, owl.

No more... [Hiccups ]

Oh...

Owl: hmm...

Maybe you didn't hold your breath long enough.

Cat [whispers ]: this always works.

[Grunts ]

What did you... [Hiccups ] ...do that for?

I was trying to get rid

Of your hiccups.

Go ahead, you try it on me.

[Meows ]

Come on.

See?

But you never had them.

[Hiccups ]

[Hiccuping... ]

[Knocking at the door ]

Oh, my.

Someone is at the door.

Hmm... I wonder who it could be.

[Clucking, squawking and banging... ]

[Little bear laughing ]

[Clucking, squawking and banging... ]

[Laughing ]

[Grunting, shrieking and squawking ]

That was fun.

[Chuckling ]

The things I do in the name of friendship.

[Squawks ]

[Little bear laughing ]

I bet we made the hiccups go away.

[Chuckling ]

You're right, duck.

My hiccups are gone.

[Hiccups ]

Oh...

It was a good idea.

Some idea.

Well, owl, your idea didn't work too well.

Cat's idea didn't help, either.

Excuse me...

But I read about that technique

In a very famous book.

Owl: what book?

I've read every book in the library.

Cat: oh, please.

You think you know everything.

I can read.

[All talk at once ]

[Father bear roars ]

Enough!

How can I read with all this noise?

I was only hiccuping.

What was that?

Hiccuping.

I was only hiccuping.

Hiccuping?

I can't hear any hiccups.

But iwas hiccuping.

All right, hiccup for me.

Come on now.

One, two, three... Hiccup!

Well, well.

I guess you can't hiccup anymore.

My hiccupsare gone!

Wonderful.

A brilliant idea, father bear.

Ingenious.

Smart, too.

You can still stop them my way.

Little bear didn't really try.

You just have to know how to do it.

Father bear: that's right.

You just have to know how to do it.

[Chuckling ]

[Laughing ]

[All laughing ]

Now, who wants pie?

Sounds good. Us, too. I do.

I'll have a s... [Hiccups ]

[Hiccups ]

Oh...

[Hiccups ]

[Snoring... ]

Father bear, wake up.

Wake up.

[Snorts, clears throat ]

[Sighs ]

[Humming "my bonnie lies over the ocean..." ]

When is father bear getting up?

He promised to play with me today.

That's right, he did.

They taste much better when they're baked.

[Sniffing ]

When can we eat?

When father bear gets up.

That'll be never.

[Chuckles ]

He has to get up at some point.

I hope so.

Father bear promised to play with me.

Yes, you just reminded me of that.

Unless he forgot.

Oh, no, I don't think he has.

I do.

[Birds singing... ]

[Yawns ]

[Mandolin playing... ]

There. Now everything's ready for playing.

[Duck, chicken grunting... ]

Is it my turn yet?

Not until owl's ride is over, cat.

Whoa!

[Squawking ]

Owl: oh, no...!

[Thud, crash ]

Is owl's ride over now?

Yes, cat.

Little bear: hi, everybody.

What are you doing?

We found a magic carpet

That's going to take us to faraway lands.

To egypt.

And india.

And ohio.

Owl discovered it on the riverbank.

We're going on an adventure.

Would you like to join us?

Sorry, I'm supposed to be busy today.

You can't come with us?

To egypt?

India?

Or ohio?

No, I'd better get going.

Father bear and I have a date...

If he ever gets up.

Oh, well, it's my turn to ride anyway.

[Both squawk ]

[Chuckling ]

Is he up yet?

Not yet.

Oh...

You must be patient, little bear.

[Sighs ]

[Ticking... ]

[Sighs ]

[Gasps ]

[Snoring... ]

[Sighs ]

Mother bear, I need a glass of water

For father bear, when he wakes up.

[Chuckles ]

[Grunts ]

[Grunting ]

[Snoring... ]

Uh-oh.

I need a cloth, quick!

What have you done?

Just a little accident.

[Chuckles ]

[Door creaks ]

[Resumes snoring ]

Hmm.

[Sniffs ]

[Sniffing ]

[Slurps ]

Interesting.

[Coughs ]

[Coughs ]

[Coughs ]

[Chuckling ]

[Laughing ]

[Resumes snoring... ]

[Preparing to sneeze ]

[Sneezes ]

Whoa! Oof!

[Chuckles ]

Now, little bear

I hope you haven't forgotten

About our date today.

Of course not!

Good.

Because we're going to

Have quite an adventure.

Hooray!

Mother bear: breakfast!

It's mother bear.

Let's pretend we're asleep.

Come on.

[Both snoring ]

My, oh, my.

What sleepyheads.

[Both snoring... ]

I guess father bear and little bear

Just don't want any breakfast today.

Both: hey!

[Both laughing... ]

[Grunting... ]

Oof!

I'm ready to go!

Good.

So am i.

We're off.

Not without a hat, you're not.

And where's your hat, father bear?

[Kissing ]

Let's go!

Good-bye.

Have a good time.

Bye.

Bye.

Where are we going?

How about as far as the road takes us?

[Twittering... ]

[Chattering... ]

Oops.

Sorry, mr. Turtle.

I've got to move on.

[Buzzing loudly... ]

Huh?!

[Gasps ]

Little bear, you must be gentle with nature...

And with me.

"Up?"

That's what it says.

What do you say we follow it?

All the way up?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

Interesting.

Mm-hmm.

Father, don't step on the cracks.

Why not?

You must be gentle with nature.

[Father bear laughs ]

Hmm... We'll just have to cross this river, little bear.

I don't see a bridge.

No...

No bridge, little bear.

Little bear: hmm...

Then we'll just have to wait for the riverboat.

[Makes a rumbling noise ]

I think I hear the sound of the riverboat coming.

All aboard.

[Father bear grunts ]

All aboard.

[Making rumbling noise... ]

Full speed ahead.

[Little bear laughing... ]

Land ho!

Sound the warning.

[Imitating horn... ]

All ashore!

Thank you, father bear.

You made a very good riverboat.

Oof!

Hello, moose.

Mind if we pass through?

Don't mind at all.

Just walk under me.

I'm not going anywhere.

Thank you, moose.

Don't mention it.

We must do this again one day.

Any time.

[Panting and grunting ]

Whew...

We must be climbing a great big mountain.

It could be just a hill.

You never know.

Little bear: oh, no.

I'll call it sky mountain, because that's how high it goes.

We're as high up in the sky as the birds.

You could be right.

Look.

I can see the top.

I'll race you.

Okay.

[Laughing... ]

Whoo-hoo!

Whee!

[Laughing... ]

The top of sky mountain.

No, the top of pudding hill.

I thought this was sky mountain.

You can call it sky mountain if you want to.

Really?

But pudding hill is nice, too.

Come with us, we'll show you some real mountains.

Go ahead-- I'm going to rest.

Wait for me!

Woodchuck: there they are.

Little bear: hello.

[Echoing... ]: Hello... O... O...

Gee.

[Bird screeching in distance ]

Father bear, the mountains are huge!

Bigger than anything I've ever seen.

Maybe even bigger than the sky.

But I like it here on pudding hill.

So do i, little bear.

So do i.

[Owl hooting ]

[Playing "she'll be coming 'round the mountain"... ]

[Crickets chirping ]

We had a great time.

Good night.

All: good night.

Come back to pudding hill again sometime.

We will.

[Yawns ]

Father bear, this has been a very good day.

Yes, it has, little bear.

And we'll tell mother bear

All about it, won't we?

Yes, we will.

Someday, I'll climb mountains.

Big mountains, little mountains...

Blue mountains, brown mountains...

[Father bear snoring ]

White mountains...

[Yawns ]

Craggy mountains...
