Post by bunniefuu »

[Birds singing... ]

[Owl hooting... ]

[Hen squawks ]

Cat: boo!

[Squawking ]

All: whoa!

[All laughing ]

[Birds chirping... ]

[Yawns, smacks lips ]

Ow! My tooth!

[Lisping ]: my tooth is loose.

[Normal voice ]: my tooth is loose, my tooth is loose!

Let me look in there.

Hmm...

[Lisping ]: what do you see?

It's loose all right.

I guess the tooth fairy will be visiting our house soon.

Yes. Tonight I'm going to put my tooth

Under my pillow for the tooth fairy.

If it falls out by then.

It may take a few days.

Oh. What do I do until then?

Mother bear: how about putting some cinnamon on the toast?

Okay.

[Whistling... ]

[Joins in whistling... ]

[Continues whistling ]

That's good whistling, little bear.

You've been practicing.

Yes. Just like you showed me.

[Whistles ]

Oh! My tooth wiggles when I whistle.

I wonder what the tooth fairy will bring for such a nice tooth.

I don't know, but I bet it's something good.

Duck: this is taking a long time.

You can't move, duck

Or the butterflies will never land on you.

You got one! You got one!

Well, ihad one.

Hello, everyone.

Hi, little bear.

Want to catch butterflies with us?

I can't-- I've got a loose tooth.

Emily: can we see?

Which one?

Duck:ooh...

Can I wiggle it?

Ooh... It wiggles!

[Giggles ]

How long until it falls out?

I don't know, but I wish it would hurry up.

Maybe we can think of ways to help it.

Oh, I know! I know, I know!

Maybe if you hang upside down

It will fall out.

I doubt it, duck.

Well, it makes things

Fall out of your pockets.

Pockets?

Well, if you have pockets.

That's true.

Let's give it a try.

Duck: oh... Everything's upside down.

Little bear: everything's in the same place, duck.

You're upside down.

Oh.

I love being upside down.

Me, too.

[Whistling ]

[Joins in whistling ]

[Also whistling ]

[Tries whistling, blows raspberry ]

I can't make a sound.

Try it like this.

[Whistles sharply ]

[Blows raspberry ]

[Others whistling ]

[Owl hooting... ]

Ahem.

Now, why are we hanging upside down?

Little bear's tooth is loose

And we're trying to make it fall out.

Is it working?

No...

It's just making my head feel funny.

Whoa!

[Grunts ]

[Laughing ]

[Quacks, grunts ]

Everything's spinning.

Emily: oh, I'm dizzy.

[Little bear laughs ]

Whee!

[Laughing ]

What on earth is going on here?

Little bear's tooth is loose.

We're helping it fall out.

By staggering around in circles?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

If you have a tooth problem, I know just the thing.

Now what?

You... Just wait.

And how exactly is that going to help?

Well, when the tooth does fall out

At least he won't lose it.

Ooh...

I think it's time to try my famous tooth-pulling machine.

You have a famous tooth-pulling machine?

Well, not yet, but I will if everyone helps me.

It's simple.

Emily and I ride down the hill on her bike.

When we're going very fast

I fly off and pull duck across the pond.

Duck goes over this ramp and onto the tire swing.

Hen unties the rope

And the tire falls on this teeter-totter

Which propels cat into the air

Pulling this string, which is attached to little bear's tooth.

And out comes the tooth, easy as pie.

Let's do it.

Places, everyone!

There.

[Duck quacks ]

Ready... Set... Go!

[Quacks ]

Brake.

Owl and emily: whoa!

Whee!

[Quacks ]

Oh, no!

Oh, dear!

Keep going!

[Cat screeching... ]

Whoa!

[Sighs ]

Well, still a few bugs in the system.

Shall we try again?

[All agree enthusiastically ]

After lunch.

I have to get home.

Let's keep practicing until he gets back.

[Whistling... ]

Hello, father bear.

Hello, mother bear.

I'm starved.

Mmm... Corn.

Oh! My tooth!

Look.

Well, my goodness.

[Whistles ] that's a beauty.

It is a beauty.

[Tries to whistle ]

Oh, no! My whistler doesn't work anymore.

Is it because my tooth came out?

I guess so, but don't worry, a new one will grow in its place soon.

Good.

The tooth is still under my pillow.

The tooth fairy won't come until you're asleep, little bear.

I know. I'm just checking.

Do you think she'll find my tooth?

It's not very big.

Oh, I'm sure she'll find it.

She's had a lot of practice.

Good night, my little bear. [Kisses ]

Good night, mother bear.

[Snoring... ]

[Yawns ]

A whistle!

[Tooting whistle ]

I guess the tooth fairy knew just what to bring you.

Yes.

She knew exactly what I wanted.

[Blowing whistle... ]

Cat: does it look like it might stop soon?

Uh-uh.i guess we won't be playing croquet.

What should we do instead?

Well, sometimes on rainy days

Granny tells me a story.

Oh, a story!

Will you tell us a story, granny?

Well, gather around.

[All agree enthusiastically ]

Now, what story should I tell?

How about little red riding hood?

All right, but I'll need you all to help me.

How can we help?

You can each play a part in the story.

Let's see, who should be little red riding hood?

Me!

Emily, of course.

And you should be my granny.

Can't I be the granny?

Little bear: hen can be the mother.

I want to be the mother.

And cat can be the ferocious wolf.

No, me!

I'll be the fearless woodsman.

I'm a good woodsman.

And, owl, you're my trusty sidekick.

Duck: oh.[Hoots ]

I guess there isn't a part for me.

Duck...

You have the most important part.

You are the grandmother's brave and loyal watch duck.

Me?

Wow.

Good idea, little bear.[Purring ]

So, once upon a time

In the deep, dark woods

There lived a little girl

Who always wore a bright red cape and hood.

One day, her mother gave her a basket of goodies.

Little red riding hood

I want you to take this basket of goodies

To your grandmother.

She isn't feeling well.

Yes, mother.

Now you must stay on the path.

There's danger lurking in the woods.

Yes, mother.

Oh, look, lucy, violets.

Grandmother loves violets.

What did you say, lucy?

I know we're off the path

But we'll go right back.

I promise.

Oh, look.

How pretty.

Little red riding hood went deeper and deeper into the forest...

Until she suddenly came upon...

[Gasps ]

Me?

The brave and loyal watch duck?

No, duck.

It's the wolf.

Oh.

[Gasps ]

[Meows ]

For you, my dear.

And what are you doing so deep in the woods today

Little red riding hood?

I'm taking my grandmother some goodies.

She isn't well.

How awful.

Where does your grandmother live?

On the edge of the forest, that way.

I mean, that way.

Oh, no.

I seem to be lost.

I'm headed to the edge of the forest myself.

Why don't i... Show you the way?

What, lucy?

Lucy says you look like danger lurking in the woods.

Well, don't listen to her.

She's just a silly doll.

What does she know? [Chuckles ]

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest...

Me?

No, duck.

Oh...

[Strums a few chords ]

Still haven't caught any fish?

No.

Maybe it's the music.

[Playing off-key ]

Hello.

Little red riding hood.

What are you doing so deep in the forest?

Don't you know there's danger lurking in the woods?

I lost my way picking flowers.

But a very nice wolf is taking me to grandmother's.

Wolf?

What wolf?

Oh, he was here a minute ago.

I guess you were right, lucy.

You can't trust a wolf.

While they took red riding hood back to the path

The wolf ran ahead to grandmother's house

Where he didn't expect to find...

Where he didn't expect to find...

Who?

You! Me?

Wow.

Finally.

Grandmother's brave and loyal watch duck!

Halt, who goes there?

Aha!

Tried to sneak past me, huh?

Okay, you ants, back to the woods.

Move it.

Hup, two, three, four.

Hup, two, three, four.

Hup, two, three, four...

Grandmother: ♪ she'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes ♪

♪ She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes... ♪

[Knock at door ]

Who's there?

Little red... [Clears throat ]

[Girlishly ]: little red riding hood.

Oh, come in, dear.

Next time, don't sneak up on me.

[Gasps ]

How do you feel, grandmother?

A little better.

[Normal voice ]: good enough to eat?

[Gasps ]

[Gasps ]

And the wolf ate the grandmother

In one bite.

All: ooh...

Mmm...

Now the brave and loyal watch duck

Knew she must get help.

Help, help!

Help, help!

Meanwhile, little red riding hood

Arrived at her grandmother's house.

[Knock ]

[Imitating grandmother ]: come in.

Grandmother, your voice sounds so funny.

Grandmother [echoing ]: you'd sound funny, too, if you were inside a wolf.

You don't look at all well.

[Echoing ]: ♪ she'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes ♪

♪ She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes ♪

♪ She'll be coming 'round... ♪

[Lute playing "she'll be coming 'round the mountain" ]

Duck: help, help, help!

Oh! We're helping![Hoots ]

But, grandmother, what big ears you have!

Grandmother: speak up, dear, I can hardly hear you!

But, grandmother...

What big eyes you have!

Grandmother: I can't see a thing in here.

But, grandmother...

What big teeth you have!

Grandmother: brush them twice a day!

Stop that! I'm supposed to say:

Grr! The better to eat you with, my dear.

[Gasps ]

Let her go, wolf!

[Both yell ]

[Gasps ]

[Growling... ]

Aha!

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

[Purrs ]

[Purring... ]

What happened then?

What about the grandmother?

Well, the woodsman caught the wolf

And made him let the grandmother go.

[Sighs ] what a relief.

I think someone's eyes

Were bigger than their stomach.

But, look, I've finished my scarf!

It looks perfect on you!

[Applauding ]

Well, now, would anyone like a snack?

Well, that story did make me a little hungry...

For cookies.

[All laughing... ]

[Humming... ]

Flour.

Flour.

[Both sneezing... ]

Everything all right in there?

Everything's fine, mother bear.

[Giggling ]

What next?

Honey?

Mm-hmm, lots of honey.

Uh-oh.

Do you need any help?

Oh, no, we're fine.

It's going really well.

Really.

[Slurping ]

What else?

Um, milk.

Butter.

And jam.

Sure.

How about cookies?

Mm-hmm.some berries.

I like all those things.

Anything else in there I like?

How about a fish?

Oh, yes, throw that in, too.

You're funny.

There.

Mmm... These are going to be good cupcakes.

What do you think?

Well, how does it taste?

Interesting.

It will taste better when it's cooked.

Of course.

Mother bear

We're ready.

Remember, ovens get very hot.

Yes, mother bear.okay.

Hmm, that looks... Interesting.

In it goes.

And now we wait.

Emily: till all the sand runs out.

[Sighs ]

[Sniffing ]

Mmm...

Oh! Time is up, time is up!

Mother bear, mother bear!

The cupcakes are cooked!

They look done.

Just a bit more waiting

Until they're cool enough to eat.

Both: aw...

I think they're ready, don't you?

Mm-hmm.

Ow!

My cupcake is hard.

Mine, too.

They're as hard as rocks.

[Thump ]

Everything all right in there?

Oh, everything's fine.

[Clattering... ]

Quick, let's put them in this bag.

I wonder what went wrong.

Mmm, something smells good in here.

Hello, mother bear.

Hello.

Hello.

Well, where are the cupcakes?

Cupcakes?

Aren't you going to offer me a cupcake?

We would, mother bear, but, um...

We ate them?

You ate them.

All of them?

They were very good cupcakes.

Well, if I can't have one of yours

I guess I'll have to make my own.

Do you need any help?

Absolutely.

It's always more fun when you have help.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Why do we stir it this way?

That's the way my mother always did it.

Three times one way, then three times the other way.

It's fun.

Can I add the nuts?

Sure.

Keep stirring, little bear.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

I love cupcakes.

Do you know why you love cupcakes, little bear?

Because they taste yummy.

Yes, but also because you were cooked on cupcakes.

Cooked on cupcakes?

What does "cooked on cupcakes" mean?

Well, when you were in my tummy

Growing and getting ready to be born

I was eating cupcakes all the time.

Sugar and eggs, butter and cream

Flour, a pinch of cinnamon.

And nuts.

One, two, three.

Three, two, one.

Mmm, doesn't that taste good.

Do you like that?

Did I like that?

Very much.

Did I lick the bowl?

[Laughs ] you weren't born yet, little bear.

I forgot.

So, I licked the bowl myself.

[Slurping ]

But I was wishing for a little cub just like you

To help me lick the bowl.

Mother bear, you make the best cupcakes.

But I didn't always.

Wait till you hear the end of the story.

What went wrong?

[Tapping ]

Oh, dear.

Instead of cupcakes, I've baked a bunch of rocks.

[Thump ]

What was wrong with the cupcakes?

I had left something out.

What did you leave out?

Baking powder.

Both: oh...

Baking powder makes the cupcakes fluffy and soft.

Careful, they're hot.

[Blowing... ]

Delicious.

[Blows ]

Mmm, delicious.

Mother bear?

Hmm?

Emily and I really didn't eat

All of our cupcakes.

You didn't?

Our cupcakes turned into rocks, too.

We forgot the baking powder.

[Thump ]

[All laugh ]

[Cat meows ]

Mmm, something smells delicious.

[Purrs ]

Oh, sardine flavor.

Mmm, my favorite.

But why is the sardine stuck in this rock?

[Little bear and emily laugh ]

What?

[Laughter ]
