Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.

Little Bear, time to get up.

It's cleaning day, and I need your help.

Little Bear?

A Choo!

Morning, Mother.

Oh, sorry.

I'll finish dusting later.

A Choo!

Little Bear, are you all right?

I think so.

Mm, your head feels warm.

It does?

I wonder if you have the flu.

The flu?

I think I should take your temperature.

Temperature?

Now, hold up the monitor under your tongue.

I'm going to bring you some broth.

Hello, Little Bear.

Hello.

What's that in your mouth?

A formometer.

I have the fruit.

The fruit?

How terrible.

What is it?

Sounds serious.

Is it catchy?

Bye, Little Bear.

Hm, just as I thought, a slight fever.

Not much, but enough for me.

Is it flu?

Could be.

You'll have to stay in bed today.

Oh, day!

Be sure and drink your broth.

It'll make you feel much better.

Mm, hello, Cat.

What's the matter with you?

I have the flu.

Oh, that's too bad.

You should roll in some catnip.

That always makes me feel better.

I don't think so.

Hmm, looks good.

So you're sick, awful.

I knew a cat who had the flu once.

Did he get better?

Yes, but he sneezed so much.

His nose got so big and swollen it almost fell off.

Really?

Achoo!

Did my dose fall off?

No, it's still there.

Little Bear, are you there?

There you are.

My poor dear.

Do you remember me?

Do you know who I am?

Of course I do.

You're duck.

Oh, thank goodness.

I knew a duck once who got the flu.

She forgot she was a duck and didn't know how to fly.

Delicious looking honey.

It's for Little Bear.

You haven't started having rashes yet, have you?

Grashes?

That's what the duck I knew got.

And what happened?

Oh, it was terrible.

The rashes got bigger and redder and soon she was rubbing herself everywhere on everything

and her little feathers started itching until she was scratching and scratching.

What's the matter?

Rashes.

I must have a rash.

Oh dear.

I'll get you something.

Here you poor dear.

Now get back into bed or you'll never get better.

What was that?

My stomach's making noise.

Do you think it's from not eating?

Oh my.

Stomachache is definitely a sign of serious flu.

I've got a temperature too.

I've got just the thing.

Very good medicine.

I don't want to take medicine.

Oh, you don't take a hot water bottle.

You wear it.

Now I'm hot.

Better be careful.

If your fever gets too high, your ears may start to swell.

Oh no.

I think they're burning up.

Wrap his head in the towel.

That will help.

Oh no.

I can't see.

Oh, the flu can affect your eyesight.

Whoa.

I feel so dizzy.

Flu does that.

Mine, mine, my ears, my nose, my stomach, the rashes, the honey.

Oh no.

What is going on in here?

We were just trying to help Little Bear get over his flu.

You can help Little Bear get over his flu by leaving now and letting him get some rest.

I'll let you know when he's better.

Goodbye, Little Bear.

Get well soon.

You care, Little Bear?

You're so sweet.

Now let's get you cleaned up and back to bed.

Am I better, Mother?

I stayed in bed all day.

Uh-huh.

You're back to normal, Little Bear.

I'm not sick anymore.

No, you're all better.

How are you feeling, Little Bear?

Are you better?

I'm normal.

My flu has flown.

This hasn't been such a bad day after all.

I feel pretty good.

That's good news.

Maybe tomorrow you can help me clean the house top to bottom.

Feel my head again.

Are you sure I'm better?

Oh no, you're not going to get away with that.

Anyone want to go for a swim in the pond?

We already did that this morning.

Let's go find something to eat.

But we've just had lunch.

So?

Then let's go someplace new.

Yeah, someplace we've never been before.

How can we find a place like that?

We'll have to go exploring.

Exploring is one of my favorite things to do.

Mine too.

How do you explore?

So you're going exploring.

I know a beautiful tree by the bluff in the woods, and there's a rock stuck in its roots.

Your father and I carved our initials in that rock many years ago.

That sounds like a good thing to explore.

Then let's go.

How do we know if we're going the right way?

We're exploring, duck.

There is no right way.

Wow.

No right way.

Oops.

Hello, little bear.

Hello, Skunk, we're going exploring.

Want to come?

No, thank you.

I'm going to take a nap.

I'm thirsty.

Me too.

Me three.

Good thing we explored some water.

That was fun.

Yes, quite satisfying.

We'll have to go exploring again sometime, but we're not done yet.

We're not?

No.

There's a lot more exploring to do out there.

That looks a bit too far.

Don't you think we should turn back?

No, duck.

We have to find that place Mother Bear told us about.

We should take the explorer's oath.

Good idea.

What's the explorer's oath?

What's a promise explorers make out loud?

Not to turn back.

Oh.

Um, how does it go again?

We won't turn back till we're through.

That's what explorers do.

Who's afraid?

Who's afraid?

Not me.

Are you?

Not me.

Are you?

Not me.

What? Are you... Oh. It's just me.

We won't turn back till we're through. That's what explorers do. Who's afraid? Who's afraid?

Not me, are you? Not me, are you?

Whoa! Whoa!

Not me. We won't turn back till we're through. That's what explorers do. Who's afraid? Who's afraid? Not...

Are we sure we're not afraid? Not me.

We won't turn back till we're through. That's what explorers do.

Oh, my!

Who's afraid? Who's afraid? Not me, are you?

We did it! We're here! Yay!

Where? There! Look!

A vlog. No, Duck. A cave.

Oh. A real cave?

Looks real to me.

We don't need to go in there, do we? Of course we do. We're explorers. We took an oath.

You first. No. You first. Really? You.

Come on. We'll all go in together.

We won't turn back till we're through. Who's afraid? Who's afraid? Not me, are you?

What was that? This must be somebody else's cave. Somebody who doesn't like explorers.

Better be going. Hold on, Duck.

We'll just let him know we're friendly explorers. We're friendly!

Oh, my! There's more than one of them. But they're friendly, too. Come on.

What was that? What was that?

It sounds like some kind of animal. What kind of animal do you think it is?

I bet it has big claws to catch cats with.

Huh? And big teeth to eat little bears with. Huh?

Let's get out of here!

Well, my brave explorers, did you find that special tree?

No, but we found a strange monster in that cave. Just listen to it.

I don't hear anything. Except this. Hello, little bear.

Wow, it's an echo.

Meow, meow, meow.

Rawr!

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.

Wow.

Wah, wah!

Oops.

What is all the shouting about?

Can't a fellow get a little sleep around here?

Sorry.

Let's go find that tree.

It's a beautiful tree, Mother Bear.

And our initials are still there.

Excuse me, Mr. Early Bird.

We need that this morning.

'Cause we're going to catch the biggest fish in the lake today.

Aren't we, Father Bear?

We certainly are, Little Bear.

Did you bring the sandwiches, Father Bear?

Uh-huh.

In the apples?

Mm-hmm.

You didn't forget the hot chocolate?

Uh-uh.

And the cookies, Mother Bear made for us?

I got 'em.

Good.

We have a big day ahead of us.

Yup.

[humming]

Do you think we should have a cookie right now to tie this over?

Yes, Mother Bear, we just had breakfast.

Oh.

OK.

Well, maybe just one.

Is that our boat?

Yes, this will be our fishing boat today.

Are you ready to be my first mate?

Yes, Captain.

Ahoy, matey. What's the trouble?

Um, what's the first mate, exactly?

It's the captain of the ship's most important helper.

That's what I thought.

Father Bear, I don't think I can be your first mate after all.

Why not?

I've never been on a boat before.

[chuckling]

The first time I was on a boat, I wasn't much older than you.

And now I'm the best sea captain around.

So just give me a hand here, matey.

One, two, three...

Heave!

I think we'll make a fine team.

Whoa!

It's hard to stand on the water.

Come sit and help me roll.

Very good, Captain.

Ooh!

Just dip and pull.

Dip and pull.

And pull and dip.

Like this?

There you go.

The water is heavy.

Why don't you come sit on my lap so we can roll together?

Dip and pull.

Zip and pull.

Zip.

Whoa! We're tipping!

It's just your wait. Don't lean too far, matey.

I won't, Captain.

Do you think there are a lot of fish down there?

Mm. We have to choose just the right spot.

How can you tell where just the right spot is?

Ah, fisherman's instinct. It's just a feeling.

I think I'm getting that feeling now.

I think you're right first, mate, little bear.

[crunching]

I once caught a very big fish with this.

Now I want you to have it. It'll bring you luck.

I'm a real fisherman now. Thanks!

Well, we're not going to catch anything just sitting here.

Oh!

I don't think the worm wants to go fishing.

Here, use mine.

Bring your rod back, then cast the line out. Watch me.

[crunching]

Maybe we should use a net.

Just pull back a little farther, like this. Here you go.

Perfect. Slowly wind it back in.

Now we do the most important thing a fisherman must do.

We wait.

Oh, I can do that!

[barking]

Fishing is fun, father bear. It makes you think of things.

Like what?

Like the color blue. And how good cookies are.

And catching a very big fish.

Maybe a mermaid?

Maybe a mermaid, yes.

How do you sleep when you're away at sea?

On my ocean boat, I have my own bedroom, with a picture of you and mother bear by my bunk.

And what do you eat every day?

There's a kitchen, and everything I need to cook with.

Right on the boat.

And lots of fish.

Plenty of fish.

Oh, oh, there's a fish on the line.

Real him in, matey. Let out a little, then pull in.

We caught a fish, and we weren't even trying.

Sometimes that's the best way to fish.

It's just a little fish.

Maybe this isn't the fish we want.

That's what I was thinking.

Maybe I should see if there are any bigger fish down there.

Good idea. You can take a look.

Aren't I a good swimmer?

Just like a fish.

Look what I've caught for mother bear.

I bet she'll like what I've caught even better.

You. Oh, look out. Watch out.
