02x04 - Cat's Short Cut/Little Bear's Bad Day/Captain Little Bear

[bunniefuu]

[Birds singing ]

[Owl hooting... ]

[Hen squawks ]

Cat: boo!

[Squawking ]

All: whoa!

[All laughing ]

[Squawks ]

Mmm.

Your basket is almost full, little bear.

Perhaps mother bear

Will make a huckleberry pie.

Mmm, that sounds good.

I'm getting hungry.

Me, too.

It's getting late.

And we've got a long walk back.

Not if we take the short cut.

What short cut?

Cat's short cut.

Don't you remember?

I think so.

Don't worry, I know the way.

Hmm.

You sure you know where you're going, owl?

Of course I do.

It's this way.

[Wind blowing ]

At least I think it's this way.

Owl, look, over there!

What?

[Hoots ]

Who-who's there?

It was just me.

I scared you, didn't i?

No. I wasn't scared.

But what if it had have been a goblin?

A goblin?

There's no such thing as goblins.

Is there?

Little bear: I don't remember going this way.

Owl: it just looks different because it's getting late.

[Branch creaks ]

[Gasps ] what was that?

What?

Did you tap me on the shoulder?

No, I'm over here.

Somebody tapped me on the shoulder.

It must have been a goblin.

You said there was no such thing.

Yes.

But if there were goblins

This looks like where they would live.

Hmm.

Did you know goblins have magic shoes?

How can shoes be magic?

Because they can walk all by themselves.

I don't think so.

It's true.

That's why goblins are always losing their shoes.

If you listen, you can hear them.

They go pit-pat, pit-pat, pit-pat, pit-pat.

[Jingling, rustling ]

Where is that sound coming from?

It's over there.

[Jingling, rustling ]

No, it's over here.

[Jingling, rustling... ]

It's over there.

[Grunts ]

Something kicked me!

Me, too!

[Gasps ]

[Jingling, rustling... ]

Both: hey, watch it!

Owl: whoa!

[Both laughing ]

Do you think we got away?

I think so.

I've never run so fast.

[Screams ]

They didn't even stop.

Come back here!

Come back here, you two.

Stop!

[Both laughing ]

[Laughter echoing ]

Did you hear that?

Hear what?

That laugh.

Our laugh?

No, the laugh of the laughing tree.

I've never heard of a laughing tree.

It grabs you and tries to make you laugh

By telling bad jokes.

You have to make it laugh, or you'll never get away.

There's no such thing as a laughing tree.

[Tree laughing ]

[Both gasp ]

Who are you two walking in my woods?

Who?

An owl goes "hoo."

[Laughing ]

I can't bear it.

Get it?

An owl and a bear?

Oh, no.

The laughing tree.

Are you lost?

We must get to the "root" of the problem.

[Laughing ]

I always travel with a "trunk."

[Laughing ]

Leave us alone, leave us alone.

Hey, get it?

"Leaf" us alone?

Leaf us alone.

That's good!

[Laughter ]

I like it!

[Laughter ]

[Laughter echoes ]

[Both laughing ]

Where are we?

Uh-oh.

We're back where we started.

I thought I knew the way

But after all, it iscat's short cut.

[Loud meow ]

Cat!cat!

What's wrong with my short cut?

My short cut is very good.

It's not very good if you get lost.

That's because you took a wrong turn.

And that's not my fault.

Can you show us the way home, cat?

Of course I can.

Follow me.

Cat: there's nothing to be afraid of.

You have to know where you're going.

We saw a goblin.

It was scary, wasn't it, owl?

Very scary.

A goblin?

And the laughing tree was even scarier

Wasn't it, little bear?

Oh, yes, very, very scary.

There's no such thing.

What's really scary

Is the big, black crow who lives here.

Both: the big, black crow?

Oh, yes.

It's twice as big as any other crow.

That's not as scary as a goblin.

It's as big as a tree.

As big as the laughing tree?

No, no, I mean bigger.

It's so big that it's bigger than a house.

Both: oh, that's big.

[Wind blowing ]

We have to watch out for goblins.

And laughing trees.

And giant crows.

Goblins.

Laughing trees.

And giant crows.

Goblins. Laughing trees.

And giant crows.

All: goblins, laughing trees and giant crows.

What could be scarier, nobody knows.

[Loud squawk ]

Oh, no!

It couldn't be.

It is.

[All laughing ]

Goblins, laughing trees and giant crows.

Goblins, laughing trees and giant crows.

What could be scarier, nobody knows.

[Squawks ]

Mother bear.

Hello, little bear.

Hello, owl.

Hello, cat.

We were picking berries for your pie.

On our way back we saw a goblin

And a laughing tree and a giant crow.

That sounds scary.

No, it was fun.

Oh, but where are your berries?

Oops, my berries.

Well, don't worry.

I picked a few berries myself and made a big huckleberry pie.

Mm-mmm.

Mother bear, can cat and owl stay and have some pie?

Of course they can.

You must be hungry

After coming such a long way.

Oh, not that far.

We took cat's short cut.

[Crow squawks ]

[Yawns ]

Good morning.

Good morning.

Did you sleep well?

Yes, thanks.

French toast?

Yes, please.

It's ready.

Great!

Whoa!

[Grunts ]

This belongs up on the shelf.

There.

[Gasps ]

Oh, no!

[Humming... ]

[Slurps ]

Good morning, little bear.

Morning, father.

Look what happened.

Oh, your favorite boat.

I broke it.

We can fix it.

We can?

Yes, right after breakfast.

Oh, no.

Oh, careful, little bear.

Sorry.

It's all right.

No harm done.

Uh-oh.

I'll get it.i'll get it.

Aah!aah!

I'll get it.

Ouch!

Oh, no.

I'm having a bad day.

Oh, little bear.

When will you be finished, father bear?

Soon.

Want to play ball?

Yes, I do.

Catch.

When I'm done painting.

It's fun.

Good. Don't bounce it

Near the paint

I won't.

I'll bounce it over here.

[Sighs ]

Oops. Sorry.

Hi, little bear.

Hello, duck. Hello, hen.

Where are you going?

Father bear thought it was

A good idea if I pick berries.

What are you making?

Duck: a castle of sticks.

It's very nice.

Thanks.

We could use help

Getting this last twig on top.

You can reach it, little bear.

I better not.

I'm having a bad day.

Oh, dear.

I might knock the whole thing over.

No you won't, little bear.

Of course not.

Please?

Well, okay.

I'll try.

[Grunts ]

[Gasps ]whoa...

Oh!oh!

[Creaking ]

Ah!oh!

There.

Hen: nicely done, little bear.

It's perfect!

See, you didn't knock it over.

Thank you, little bear.

Here.

You deserve a reward.

Thanks, hen.

[Sniffs ]

Ah!

Ahh... Ahh...

What's the matter?

Ahh.... Ahh....

Don't sneeze!

Ahh...

[Sneezes ]

Ah!oh!

[Groaning ]: ooh!

Bless you.

Thanks.

Where are all the berries?

[Gasps ]

[Sighs ]

[Chanting ]: om...

Hello, frog.

Beautiful day.

Well...

Not so sure?

[Sighs ]

I'm having a bad day.

Days aren't bad.

A day is a day.

What's in the bucket?

Some berries.

But not very many.

Berries?

There's a nice bush over here.

Delicious.

Are they?

Come on over, little bear.

You're in luck.

This bush is full of berries.

I better not.

What's the matter?

I just have this feeling

I'll fall off the log and drop my berries in the pond.

You've walked across this log times.

All right, I'll do it.

I'll just walk across the log.

And if I fall in, I fall in.

Right?

Whoa... Ooh!

That's the spirit.

Breathe deeply.

[Breathing deeply ]

Center.

Center.

Concentrate.

Be one with the log.

There.

There!

You did it.

I did it.

Whoa!

Little bear: ow! Ow!

Youare having a bad day.

Ow, ow, ow!

Ah!

A thorn.

Uh-uh-uh... Ooh!

Ow!

Another thorn!

Little bear: can you see it, mother?

Hold still.

Will this hurt?

Well, maybe just a little.

Ouch!

I didn't do anything yet, little bear.

You didn't?

Ah! Got it.

You did?

Look.

It's a big thorn

For a little bear.

Oh, my.

Poor little bear.

I'm so sorry you had such a bad day.

I just wish it was over.

[Clattering ]

Father bear: oh, no!

Uh-oh.

Oh, dear.

I dropped the milk.

What a mess!

What a day.

I've been dropping things everywhere.

Me too, father bear.

You too?

It was terrible.

Horrible.

What should we do?

I think I know the cure for a bad day.

You do?

What is it?

[Insects buzzing... ]

[Whippoorwill calling... ]

Mother bear: there. Isn't this better?

Little bear: it's perfect.

The bad day is over.

We'll have a very good night.

Good night, little bear.

Good night, mother.

Good night, father.

Good night, little bear.

Good night.

[Birds singing... ]

Little bear: and now, the terrible pirates must walk the plank.

Aye, aye, captain little bear.

After you, sir.

[Plank creaking ]

[Meows ]

Look, cat.

Cat: is that a boat?

I think so.

Let's fix it.

It can be our pirate ship.

Look!

Hey, there's something inside.

What is it, little bear?

It looks like a map.

Yes! Sort of like an island with

A big "x" on it.

I'll bet it's a pirate map.

Pirates!

And the "x" is where

The treasure is buried.

Treasure?! But how will we get to the island?

In our boat.

This will make a very good mast

To hold up the sail.

I see.

[Hooting ]

Hello.

Hello, owl.

Duck: little bear and cat, we've been

Looking for you.

Hen: I've made a picnic for everyone.

And I have something for everyone, too.

We found a pirate map

That will lead us to buried treasure.

Treasure?

Yes. It's on an island

But we don't know where the island is.

Hmm... It must be a lost island then.

Lost island! That's it!

That's where we have to go to find the treasure.

I like treasure.

What about my picnic?

Just what we needed, hen.

My tablecloth!

Now we're shipshape and ready to sail.

But first we must name our boat.

What will we call it?

Let's call it "the ladybug," because ladybugs are good luck.

All: theladybug!

Yay!

And we should each have our own special names

Because that's what sailors do on boats.

Whiskers will be our navigator.

Aye, aye, captain little bear.

I could be lookout.

That's good. "Smart eyes" will man the lookout.

Yes, sir, captain.

[Hoots ]

Oh, what if somebody gets seasick?

Then you can be the ship's doctor

And take care of them.

Do I get a special name, too?

Of course.

You'll be... Dr. Quack.

Doc quack!

[Giggles ]

I like it!

[Quacking happily ]

And "two pecks" will be in charge of making picnics.

[Clucking ]

Ready.

What now, captain?

With the next gust of wind

Theladybug is on her way!

[Wind blowing ]

The wind is in the stern quarter, captain.

Could be a storm coming up.

[Moans ]

I hope not.

We wouldn't want any seasickness on board.

[Wind howling ]

Hold on, mates.

We're in for a blow.

[Wind howling... ]

Hen: my picnic!

[Squawks ]

Oh, I don't feel like a picnic anymore.

Doc quack

Dr. Quack, you better

Attend to two pecks.

Yes, sir.

[Moans ]: oh...

Ugh...

Do you feel better now, two pecks?

I feel fine.

Oh, good...

Because I don't.

[Hoots ]

[All grunt ]

Land ho.

Cat: it's an island, captain.

Little bear: it's lost island, mates.

Duck: we found it?

All hands prepare to go ashore.

[Exotic birds calling ]

Duck: so, how do we find the buried treasure?

First we have to find the "x."

How will we know when we've found the "x"?

Because that's where the treasure will be buried.

Oh. Then we better keep a sharp eye out.

Dr. Quack is right.

We must keep a sharp eye out.

You never know what we'll find.

[Gasps ]

Uh-oh.

Hen: oh, no!

We'll have to walk the plank.

I don't think I can.

Just don't look down.

Duck: oh....!

I looked down!

I'll give you a hand.

Whiskers and I have walked the plank before.

Aye, captain.

I'll go first.

[Plank creaking ]

Oh, my.

[Bird warbling ]

There. We've done it.

Owl: I see a path, captain.

Good sighting, smart eyes.

Let's go, mates.

Oh, no... It's our boat!

We've gone in a big circle.

Maybe this isn't lost island.

There's no "x" anywhere.

And now the sun's going down.

[Moans ]: oh...

Look, the "x"-- it's on duck!

Where? Where?!

Here it is!

"X" marks the spot!

I found it, I found it!

The buried treasure of lost island!

We found it!

All: oh...!

Duck: my, my.

It's beautiful!

Let's take our treasure back to theladybug.

Duck: um...

Isn't the boat supposed to be in the water?

Little bear: yes, duck.

Well, the water is in the boat.

Uh-oh.

We're never going to have my picnic now.

Good thinking, two pecks.

We have to lighten the boat.

Quick, everyone, eat the picnic.

[Squawking and giggling ]

Mm-mmm!

That was very good, two pecks. Thank you.

But we've eaten everything

And we're still sinking!

This calls for serious measures.

Duck: oh, no...

Not the treasure!

Yes. We'll have to toss it over

Or we're going to sink.

[Moans ]: oh!

That was a great adventure.

Our first picnic at sea.

Too bad we lost the treasure.

The treasure!

I did manage to save one thing.

My spoon!

Oh, thank you, little bear!

You're welcome, duck.

[Quacking happily ]
