[ Birds singing]

[ Owl hooting...]

[ Hen squawks]

Cat: boo!

[ Squawking]

All: whoa!

[ All laughing]

[ Sighs]

It sure is hot.

It's not so hot in the water.

I wish I were a duck, duck.

[ Laughing]

That way, I could stay

In the pond all day long.

Duck?

[ Shouting happily]

Duck.

How about...

I'll be you for a day.

[ Laughs] okay.

But if you're me, then who am i?

I'll be you, and you be me.

You're duck...

And I'm little bear?

Mm-hmm.

Interesting.

[ Laughing]

Duck?

Duck?

Duck!

I'm not duck.

You're duck.

But where are you going?

My name is little bear, and I'm going home.

[ Humming...]

Little bear: quack.

[ Mimicking duck]

[ Quacking...]

Whoa.

[ Quacks]

[ Humming...]

I'm home.

It's little bear.

Mother bear, where are you?

Oh, dear.

Mother bear is not here.

Hmm...

Carrots and potatoes.

Peas and tomatoes.

Mother bear must be making soup.

It's birthday soup

But whose birthday is it?

I know, it's my birthday!

I'm little bear.

And today is my birthday.

And soon my friends will come with lots of presents.

I love presents.

[ Quacking]

[ Shouting like duck]

[ Peeping...]

[ And peeping...]

Peep.

Peep, peep.

[ Peeping]

Peep, peep.

What are you doing?

I'm duck.

Quack, quack.

[ Peeping...]

Quack.

[ Quacking...]

[ Honks]

Quack.

[ Humming]

[ Sniffs]

Ooh!

Uh-oh.

Hello.

Anyone home?

[ Gurgling]

Oh, hello, duck.

Where's little bear?

I'm right here.

You're not little bear.

Yes, I am.

Oh, what are you doing?

It's my birthday, and I'm making birthday soup.

Did you bring me a present?

[ Meow]

Hello.

Hello, cat.

Little bear's making birthday soup.

Mmm... Where is little bear?

I'm little bear.

And today is my birthday.

Did you bring me a present?

No.

Then you don't get any birthday soup.

[ Sniffing]

Ooh!

Hello, everyone.

Where's little bear?

Here I am, mother bear.

Oh.

And today is little bear's birthday.

[ Laughing]

Oh, I see.

Well... Happy birthday, little bear.

Why doesn't everyone sit down

And I'll go make a birthday surprise?

Okay.

Hen... You sit here.

I want to be cat.

I'll be you, and you be me.

Uh, bawk, bawk, bawk!

[ Laughs]

[ Gurgling...]

[ Fly buzzing...]

[ Buzzing...]

I wonder what duck eats

When she's hungry.

[ Fly buzzing...]

Num...

[ Quacks]

Num, num...

[ Muffled talking...]

Hmm...

Sorry.

Maybe I'll go to little bear's house.

[ Slurps]

Mmm...

What did you do today, hen?

[ Clucking]

I cleaned the house

And made myself beautiful.

What did you do, cat?

I gave myself a long bath

And napped the rest of the day.

[ Purrs, meows]

[ Cat laughs]

All right, little bear.

Shut your eyes and say "one, two, three."

One, two, three.

Oh, mother bear!

Thank you!

Now blow out your candle.

[ Breathes in]

Little bear: wait!

Duck: hello, duck.

It's my birthday.

Did you bring me a present?

Little bear: no.

Do you want to wear a party hat?

[ Laughs]

Go on, little bear, blow out your candle.

All: happy birthday, little bear.

Please pass the cookies, hen.

I'm cat.

He's hen.

Bawk!

Mmm...

You know...

It's not really my birthday.

I know.

But if I only get to be you for one day

Then I want to be you on your birthday.

[ Chewing]

Yummy.

[ Laughs]

[ Cat clucks, hen meows]

[ Little bear quacks...]

Now can I be little bear again?

Okay, but...

If you're little bear, then who am i?

I'll be me, and you be you.

You're little bear, and I'm duck.

And I'm...

Cat.

[ Purring...]

[ Cluck]

And I'm hen.

And you are my mother bear.

Can I have another cookie?

Yes.

And then you'll have your nap

For you are my little bear

And I know it.

I'm glad I'm not little bear.

I don't like naps.

Mmm...

Mmm...

[ Birds singing]

[ Several giggling]

[ Hen cackles]

Little bear: hello!

[ Hen clucking]

Hello!

Duck: cock-a-doodle-doo!

[ Echoing]: cock-a-doodle-doo!

[ Giggles]

[ Coughs]

[ Inhales deeply]

I love fish stew!

[ Echoing]: I love fish stew!

....fish stew, fish stew

[ Faintly]: fish stew!

I've got one.

[ Clears throat]

She sells sea shells by the seashore!

[ Echoing]: ...sells sea shells by the seashore!

...by the seashore!

That was good.

Now for hen.

Hmm... Let me see.

[ Gasps]

Oh, I know.

[ Yodels]

[ Yodeling echoing...]

Wow!

What was that?

A yodel.

Can I try?

Yes, hen, will you teach us?

With pleasure, little bear.

Each of you repeat after me.

[ Clears throat]

[ Yodels]

[ Yodel echoes]

All right now, duck.

[ Inhales deeply]

[ Yodels]

[ Yodel echoing]

[ Fading]

I did it!

Very good.

Owl?

[ Clears throat]

♪ Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi, mi, mi, mi, mi, mi... ♪

[ Yodels]

[ Yodel echoing...]

Hen: splendid!

Wow, owl, you're a good yodel-diddle-yay-hee-her!

Thank you.

All right.

Little bear.

[ Inhales]

[ Starts yodeling, coughs]

[ Yodel, cough echoing...]

[ Clucks]

Your voice sounds scratchy.

Try it again.

This time, louder and clearer.

[ Inhales deeply]

[ Yodels weakly]

[ Clears throat]

[ Weak yodel echoing]

[ Quacks] what's wrong with your voice, little bear?

My throat hurts.

Hmm...

Little bear, you've got a frog

In your throat.

A frog?

[ Gulps]

Oh, dear.

Can I see it?

Sure... I guess.

Oh...

Aw...

[ Coughing]

Ouch.

You should go home, little bear.

Mother bear will know how to care for it.

[ Sighs]

Well, I guess you're right.

What should we yodel-yay-yee next?

Let's yodel "good-bye" to little bear.

Yes, and let's all do it together.

Ready?

All: good-bye, little bear!

[ Echoing]: good-bye, little bear.

Little bear, little bear.

Good-bye.

[ Coughs]

[ Coughs]

[ Gasps]

Hi, little bear.

[ Clears throat]

Hello, mitzi.

Why do you sound so funny?

[ Hoarsely]: owl says I have a frog in my throat.

Do you think you can see it?

I'll try.

[ Grunts]

Open wide.

Wider, little bear.

Aah...

Can you see anything?

No, your tongue's in the way.

Where is he?

[ Coughs]

Ouch!

What happened?

The frog bit me.

Oh. Sorry.

I better be getting home.

Good idea.

[ Frog croaks]

[ Clears throat]

[ Frog croaks]

Oh, no.

[ Croaks]

[ Gasps]

[ Grunts]

[ Hoarsely]: oh, frog, it's you.

What is wrong, little bear?

I have a frog in my throat.

Pardon me?

Can you see him?

See who?

The frog.

It is just a saying, little bear.

Actually, you are losing your voice.

But do not worry.

It is just a temporary

State of being.

Go home, little bear.

[ Chants]: home.

[ Trying to clear his throat]

[ Humming...]

Hello, little bear.

Ah, ah...

What's the matter?

I have a frog in my throat

And it hurts.

My poor little bear.

I know just the cure.

[ Door creaks open]

Here we go.

A nice cup of hot lemonade with honey.

[ Slurping]

Mmm!

[ Clears throat]

I think I found my voice again.

Good.

I'm glad it wasn't really a frog.

Me, too.

[ Both laughing]

Duck [ raspily]: ♪ mi, mi, mi

♪ Mi, mi, mi, mi.

[ Scratchy cluck]

[ Hoarsely]: hello, mother bear.

[ Slurping] mmm.

Mother bear, we all have frogs in our throats.

[ Agreeing]

I know just the thing.

More hot lemonade with honey.

[ Cups jingling]

Thank you, mother bear.

Thank you, mother bear.

Thank you, mother bear.

[ Mother bear chuckles]

You're welcome.

[ All slurping]

All: mmm!

Ah!

[ Slurping]

Oh.

[ Grunts]

[ Laughs]

Oh.

[ Grunts]

[ Quacks]

Hello, duck.

Hello, little bear.

What are you doing?

Jumping over puddles.

Oh, I like splashing in puddles.

[ Laughing] [ quacking]

This is a nice puddle, duck.

It's my favorite.

It's nice and round.

And not too deep.

And the water's so clear, I can even see myself.

This is my perfect puddle.

Yes.

Perfect to jump over.

Oh?

Wait!

What if you hurt my puddle?

Don't worry, duck.

I won't hurt your puddle.

[ Gasps]

[ Quacks]

Whoa!

Oops.

You hurt my puddle.

I'm sorry, duck.

[ Crying]: that was my perfect puddle.

Come on, we'll find another one.

Look, duck.

Here's a puddle.

Well... It is nice and round.

[ Grunts]

And I can jump over it.

[ Quacking...]

Hmm.

It's too small.

[ Laughs]

Yes, I see.

Okay, let's keep looking.

What do you think, duck?

[ Quacks]

It's not deep enough.

Oh!

How about this one?

[ Quacking]

Too muddy.

[ Sighs]

[ Frogs croaking...]

[ Quacking]

[ Frogs croaking]

Maybe we should follow those frogs.

Frogs always know where the good puddles are.

[ Croaks]

Hello, little bear.

Hello, frog.

Hello, duck.

Hello, frog.

What are you doing?

We're looking for the perfect puddle.

Ah, yes.

But... Can a puddle ever truly be perfect?

Well...

As long as it's nice and round

And not too small and not too muddy

That would be perfect for me.

If it is puddles you want

Iwill show you the way.

We are here.

Wow...

Look at all the puddles!

Yes, this is our special place.

Do you like it?

It's great!

Let's start jumping!

Let's start splashing!

Oh!

[ Laughing]

[ Quacking...]

Yay!

[ Quacking loudly]

Huh?

[ Croaks]

Ah!

[ Laughs]

[ Quacking...]

[ Chants]: om.

Here... Is a true test, puddle jumper.

Wow!

This is the biggest puddle I've ever seen!

Little bear, you can't jump on a lily pad.

You'll sink.

Hmm... You're right, duck.

Interesting.

Look out, here I come!

[ Grunts]

Oh, whoa.

[ Shouts]: whoa!

[ Grunts]

You did it, little bear!

[ Quacking...]

[ Laughing]

[ Frogs croaking...]

I hereby proclaim little bear

The great puddle jumper.

[ Frogs croaking...]

[ Laughing]

[ Both croaking like frogs...]

[ Thunder rumbles]

Little bear: uh-oh.

It's starting to rain.

Duck: that was fun, little bear.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, duck.

We never did find your perfect puddle.

Oh, that's okay.

Look, duck!

My perfect puddle!

[ Quacking...]

It's perfect again!

Little bear, would you like to try and jump over my puddle?

Can i?

Um...

Sure.

Okay, here I come.

[ Moans nervously]

Ally-oop.

Ooh! Whoa...

Ooh!

You did it, little bear!

You are the best puddle jumper.

Thank you, duck.

And you're the best puddle splasher.

[ Quacking...]
