(Chirping continues... )

Please, little birds.

(Chirping stops )

Sweet little birds.

Sweet little loud birds!

Stop chirping!

(All chirp )

Little bear: owl?

What's wrong?

I haven't gotten a wink of sleep.

Why not?

(Chirping... )

New neighbors.

(And chirping... )

Aw, they're cute.

Cute?

I can't get any sleep

Because of those "cute" little birds.

Owl.

I've never seen you so grumpy.

I'm not grumpy.

I'm tired.

I know a place where you can take a nap.

Is it quiet there?

Well...

There's no chirping birds.

Is everything okay in there, owl?

Isn't it cozy?

Well, it's not home

But at least it's quiet.

(Yawns )

Now you have a nice rest.

(Sighs )

Nice and quiet.

(Snoring )

(Snoring... )

(Croaks )

(Croaking continues... )

(Joining in... )

(All croaking... )

Duck!

What's wrong, owl?

All that noise!

What noise?

(Croaks )

That noise!

Oh, the frogs.

Well, you sort of get used to them.

They're so noisy.

But they take care of the bugs.

(Buzzing... )

Well...

Most of them.

This is hopeless!

I can't sleep here either.

(Knocking )

Is it quiet in there?

Yes, it is, owl.

No chirping birds?

No.

No croaking frogs?

(Laughs ) no.

Can I sleep here?

Uh... Sure, I guess.

Granny: hello, owl.

Hello, granny.

Hello, tutu.

(Barks )

(Yawns )

Granny: what's wrong, owl?

You look tired.

I've got new neighbors.

(Whimpers )

They're so noisy.

I haven't had a wink of sleep in ages.

Well, you've come to the right place.

We were just about to settle down for our afternoon nap.

Oh, good.

(Yawns )

(Barks )

Whoo!

You're in tutu's spot.

(Barking )

But she'll gladly share it with you.

Well, as long as she's quiet.

(Yawns )

(Yawns )

Shh.

(Clock ticking )

(Granny snoring )

(Chair creaking )

(Snoring, creaking )

(Tutu whimpers )

(Snoring, creaking, whimpering... )

(Slurping )

Help.

Little bear: no chirping birds.

No croaking frogs.

No snoring dogs.

Thank goodness.

(Yawns )

(Door creaks )

(Sniffs )

I smell cupcakes.

(Dishes rattle )

Help me set the table.

(Sniffs )

Oh, that smells good.

(Clattering )

Shh!

Mother bear: owl!

I smell cupcakes.

I love your cupcakes, mother bear.

Thank you, owl.

May I have another?

Why, certainly.

Thank you, mother bear.

You're welcome, owl.

Mmm... These are so good.

Owl?

(Snoring softly... )

Whoo!

Here.

Put these on.

Why do we have to wear glasses?

Because teachers always wear glasses.

How do I look?

Like a teacher... I guess.

How do I look?

Like a professor.

Oh, one more thing.

Teachers always have apples.

Thank you, emily.

Miss emily.

You always call teachers "miss."

Okay.

Miss emily.

But...

You don't eat the apples.

They just sit on your desk.

Oh.

Here's the school bell.

Ring it, and see who comes to school.

(Ringing )

Nobody's coming.

Try louder.

(Ringing louder )

(Ringing continues... )

Yee-haw!

What's that?

What?

Huh?

(Giggling )

Here come our students.

Uh-oh.

(Laughing )

Whoo!

Yay!

Whee!

Otters.

Good. Right on time.

Can otters go to school?

Of course.

Anyone can go.

(Otters laughing )

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Otters will be perfect.

Otters, otters!

Please finish shaking

Before you come to school.

School?

I am your teacher.

Teacher?

Teacher.

What will we teach her?

You're not the teacher.

You're emily.

Today I am your teacher.

And you may call memiss emily.

And I'm professor bear.

You may call me...

Professor bear.

This is your classroom, so please take your seats.

Okay.okay.

Sure.

Ooh!

Hey, I wanted that seat!

It's mine now.

Nope, I've got it.

Excuse me, this is my seat.

Otters, otters, otters!

We must have quiet.

(Otters laughing )

Please pay attention.

Atten-shun!

Attention.

Attention.

Atten-n-n-n-tion!

Whoa!

Otters!

If you don't listen, you won't learn.

You do want to learn, don't you?

All: oh, yes, indeed.

Yes, indeed.

Then... Shh!

Shh!

Shh!

Shh!

Otters!

(Clears throat )

Now, today professor bear will teach you

About the numbers one to four.

Professor bear?

Here's how they go.

One... Two.

Three... Four.

These numbers are important.

Can anyone tell me why?

No.

No.uh-uh.

No. Why, emily?

Miss emily!

You must remember

To say "miss emily"

Because I am your teacher.

I told you.

Numbers are to count with.

For example, how many otters are you?

Can you tell me that?

I don'thmm. Know.

How many? Do you know?

Why don't you count yourselves?

(Whispering )

We are a lot of otters.

A lot.

A lot.

That is not the correct answer.

(All laughing )

Sit up straight, please, all of you.

I'll help.

(Giggling )

Uh!

(Otter laughs )

(Laughing )

(Sighs )

There.

Now, count yourselves.

One!

One!

One!

Mmm... One!

No, no, no.

You have to count.

We were.

Each of us is one otter.

All: yes, miss emily.

Each of us is only one.

That's true.

Yes, but you have to count each other.

All: oh!

Emily: I'll show you.

One, two, three, four.

Four otters.

Whee!

(Laughing )

I'm one.

I'm two.

I'm three.

I'm four. Otters!

Otters!otters!

* Otters!

School just isn't for otters.

You're right, professor bear.

* Four, four, four otters. *

Otters just want to play.

All: whee!

(Laughing )

Otters, you are a bunch of balloon heads.

All: balloon heads?!

But we are very fond of you.

Well, I'm balloon head number one.

I'm balloon head number two.

I'm balloon head number three.

I'm balloon head number four.

All: whoa!

(Laughing )

I guess they learned their numbers after all.

Good work, professor bear.

(Ringing )

Class dismissed.

What does that mean?

School's over.

It's time to play.

All: school's over!

(Cheering )

Whoopee!

Yay! No more school.

School's over!

Class, the first lesson today will be in mud sliding.

Mud sliding for balloon heads?

Oh, yes.

Mud sliding for balloon heads.

Now, to demonstrate.

One balloon head.

Whoa!

(Laughing )

Two!

Whoo-hoo!

Three!

Four!

Whoa!

Whee!

Whee!

Whoa!

(Laughs )

Whee!

Good slide.

For a balloon head.

(All laughing )

(Shouting, laughing )

(Insects humming )

(Birds chirping )

(Growls playfully )

(Growls playfully )

(Birds chirping )

What's happening, father bear?

Spring has sprung, little bear.

What does that mean?

Spring cleaning.

Oh.

It's a beautiful day for fishing.

It is, indeed.

But I'd better help mother bear

With the spring cleaning.

The fish are jumping.

Jumping?

I saw one jump that was this big.

That big, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

What is all this?

A lot of junk

That's what it is.

Junk?

I wore this when I caught my first big one.

We can't throw this out.

Still not ready to give it up, are you?

This stuff is kind of smelly.

Which is why we're getting rid of it, aren't we?

I made this lure myself.

I'll bet that big fish would go after it.

I bet he would.

Enough, you two.

We've got work to do.

Can I help?

This rug could use a good b*ating.

I can do that.

Come on, father bear.

This goes back in the junk box.

But it's a classic!

Classic junk.

(Both chuckling )

That's the way to do it.

Look, I'm making clouds!

You sure are.

(Sneezes )

(Chortles )

(Sneezes )

That was a very big sneeze, father bear.

Almost as big as yours.

(Humming )

(Father bear, little bear laughing )

(Laughs )

(Little bear giggling )

Now where did my little bear go?

I believe this rug could use a good tickling.

I thought you two were b*ating the rug.

Father bear was tickling the rug.

The rug is nice and clean, dear.

Yes, it is. Thank you.

What can we do next?

We can clean the windows.

Perfect.

All right.

I'll do the outside.

Little bear: I'll do the inside.

(Humming )

(Glass squeaking )

You missed a spot.

Here's one.

Here's another.

(Little bear laughing )

Better?

Uh-huh.

(Growls )

(Growling )

Oh!

Now you've got a bigger spot to clean.

(Chuckles )

(Both laughing )

You can't get me.

Oh, no?

My floor!

That's it.

Outside with both of you.

Uh...

The windows are clean.

Mother bear's working really hard.

Yes, she is.

What do you think we should do?

I know!

Let's make a picnic.

Good idea, little bear.

Let's surprise mother bear.

(Humming )

Oh!

Careful.

The floor is really slippery.

You get the bread

And I'll get the peanut butter.

Let me take it.

Are you sure you can carry all that?

No problem.

Oh!

(Loud clatter )

(Grunts ) oh...

Hmm.

I'm sorry, mother bear.

(Slurps ) mmm...

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

What an excellent idea.

I'm starved.

Mmm. Mmm.

You know what we should clean up next?

No.no.

These sandwiches.

Mmm...

Good idea!good idea!
