Hello Emily. Hi little bear.

Thank you for inviting me to your picnic.

I want you to meet my friends.

Maybe they won't want a stranger there.

You're not a stranger. You're Emily.

No, no, no. Let's eat right by the pond.

I don't know if that's the best place for a picnic.

The grass is thicker under the tree.

I like to sit in the sun.

Hello everyone.

Whoa!

Hi little bear.

Hello.

Who are you?

I don't believe we've had the pleasure.

This is my new friend Emily.

Nice to meet you.

Who's this?

That's Lucy. She tells Emily things.

She wants to tell me something now.

What? I can't hear her.

She says she's never seen a handsomeer cat in her life.

Well, she's quiet, but she's smart.

Stay in line.

Align.

Hey. Do you know what a line is?

Wait.

Now none of that.

Wait.

Hold it right there.

Come back here.

Is anyone listening to me?

Hi little duck.

Aw.

Ducklings are so soft.

Little peep.

Little peep.

There you are.

She's so cute.

Who are you?

I'm little bear's friend Emily.

I'm duck.

I'm little bear's friend too.

I guess that makes us friends.

I hope so.

I'm duckling sitting for mother duck.

Does anybody mind if they come to the picnic?

If they mind their manners.

And keep out of my potato salad.

Can't you leave them in a puddle somewhere?

They are sweet little things.

What?

Should we eat or play games first?

Croquet, anyone?

Are you sure you don't want to play duck?

No, I better keep an eye on the ducklings.

You can't trust them around food.

Hmm.

That looks good.

And?

I believe you start.

Well, I don't really play mind.

Nice shot.

Just lucky.

Your turn now.

Thank you.

How did you do that?

It's all in the wrist.

I guess one bite wouldn't hurt.

Hmm.

Oh.

Oh.

Cat.

Gee.

Yay.

Oh.

Oh.

You hit my ball.

That's the whole idea.

Oh.

No, don't move my ball.

It's against the rules.

Oh, come back here.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

What?

What?

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Games over.

Oh.

Oh.

I'm sorry, everyone.

It's okay, Duck.

Let's eat.

Come on, Duck.

Come on, Ducklings.

What?

What?

Strange.

Thought I'd made more potato salad.

How are you coming with those napkins, Cat?

I've got an extra.

But I gave you three.

Well, there's only two ducklings.

Don't be silly.

One, two.

Oh, no.

Where's Little Peep?

Little Peep?

I've got a finder.

I've got to get help.

I've got to.

I've got to.

Sit down.

It's okay, Duck.

Don't worry, Duck.

We'll find her.

Little Peep.

Little Peep.

Little Peep.

Little Peep.

Look.

Over there.

I'll get her.

Little Peep.

Come here, Little Peep.

Duck.

I've got you.

Little Peep.

Little Peep.

Little Peep.

Little Peep.

Cat?

Did you get Little Peep?

I don't think so.

Where could Little Peep be hiding?

Lucy has an idea.

She says we should think of where we like to hide.

I'd hide in a tree.

I'd hide in a barn.

But ducklings like... water.

Come on, Duck.

We think we know where Little Peep is.

Oh, thank goodness.

What?

What?

What?

- What? What? What? (giggling)

- Peep!

What?

- Peep, peep.

- Little peep.

- He saved you some potato salad.

- Peep.

- They're so cute.

I love baby animals.

- Oh, so do I.

As long as I don't have to babysit them.

- Could you pass the potato salad?

- It's all gone, owl.

- My potato salad.

- I did it.

- Do you need more?

- Yes, I'm afraid so.

- We have lots of guests to feed at tonight's party.

- Why is it a golden anniversary party?

- Will everyone be dressed in gold?

- No, little bear.

It's because grandmother and grandfather bear

have been married for 50 years.

It's so special to be married so long.

It's as good as gold.

- Look what I found, my old trumpet.

- Play some more.

- A one, and a two, and a three, and a...

- You're good.

- Father bear used to have a band.

- You had a band?

- Yes, but that was years ago.

- Are these your band's records?

- No, little bear.

- We're using those for the party tonight.

- Let's put them on and dance.

- May I?

- Dance, mother bear.

- I'd be delighted.

- Whoa!

- Oh dear.

- Oh, oh.

- Is it broken?

- I'm afraid so.

- Raccoon will be at the party.

He's good at fixing things.

- Wow!

- Very nice.

- Ta-da!

- What's that noise?

- It wasn't me.

- Maybe Moose has a stomach ache again.

- What are you doing, little bear?

- Can I try it?

- What else does it do?

- It's Father Bear's trumpet.

- He used to play in a band.

That must have been fun.

I'm going to make my own band.

Does anyone want to join?

- Sure.

- Yeah!

Uh, little bear.

I think the rest of us need instruments.

- Can you lose this?

- Thanks, Cat.

Well, what's your instrument, Hen?

- I can't decide.

- Do, do, do, do, do, do me. (dramatic music) (clicking)

- Thank you, Duck.

Huh?

Okay.

- Wait for me!

- Boo!

- Ready everyone?

Go!

- Wait, wait, wait!

- I wasn't ready.

- Okay, go!

- Wait, now I missed the beginning.

- How do we know when to start?

- I know, Father Bear counted to start.

- Counted?

- Don't worry, Duck.

- I'll count.

- A one and a two and a three.

- Hold it!

- What's wrong?

- You keep poking me.

- Sorry.

- Thanks.

- Ready?

A one and a two and a...

- Why has everybody stopped?

- No one can hear themselves play.

- Why not?

- Because someone is playing too loudly.

- Ew.

- You.

- Oh, I can play softly.

- Let's try again.

- Yay!

- That was great.

- Not half bad.

- Not half bad.

We sound good.

- I know.

Let's play at my grandparents' anniversary party.

- Yay!

- Well, what's that?

- I don't believe we had any pleasure.

- Don't need that.

Don't need this.

Don't need that.

Nope.

Whoops, may need that.

That oughta do it.

- Where could Little Bear be?

- I don't know.

- Isn't it about time for some dancing?

A Little Rumba?

- Polka?

- Okay, I got her this time.

- I'll set everybody.

- Maybe this piece was important.

- I guess we won't have a dance.

- Maybe next year.

- Happy Golden Anniversary Grandmother and Grandfather.

What a wonderful surprise.

Thank you, Little Bear.

- Aw.

- A one and a two and a three.

- Shall we?

- You danced a line, babe.

- Yup.

- Need this.

- Need that?

- Yup.

- That too.

- What's the matter, Emily?

I was just thinking that I have to go back to school soon.

- I don't want you to go.

- You won't forget us.

- Will you, Emily?

- No, I could never forget you.

- And all the good times we've had?

- It's been such a fun summer.

- Remember what fun we had at Hop Frog Pond?

- Oh, yes.

The water was so cold.

And the water dinnies were so pretty.

- And there was so much mud.

- I know we could go to Hop Frog Pond today.

- Yay.

- Yay.

- What's that?

- Something big.

- Here it comes.

- I'll protect you, Emily.

- It's Moose.

- Hello, Moose.

- Moose.

- Hi there, little ones.

- (laughs)

It's only Moose.

- What are you doing?

- We're on our way to Hop Frog Pond.

- I'm on my way there myself.

Like a ride?

- Sure.

- All aboard.

Next stop, Hop Frog Pond.

- Yay.

- Hop Frog Pond.

- Mud, mud, glorious mud.

- Whoa.

- For you, Emily.

- Thank you, owl.

- Look, Emily.

I made an E for Emily.

- Thank you, duck.

- Did I spell it right?

- Exactly right.

- I'm going in.

- Come on, Emily.

Just a minute.

Here I come.

You're a good swimmer, Emily.

- That tickles.

- We could catch fish.

I think the fish have caught us.

Hop Frog Hop.

- I guess we know why it's called Hop Frog Pond.

- Look, who are they?

- Oh.

- Whoa!

- They're baby otters.

Let's say hello.

Hi.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I'm Little Bear.

- And I'm Emily.

- And that tickles.

- Wanna play?

- Want to slide?

- That's our mud slide.

- Come try it.

- You'll love it.

- Please.

- It's slippery.

- Did somebody say mud slide?

- Count me in.

- Should we?

- Sure.

- Why not?

- What's the best way to go down?

- On your stomach.

- Whoa.

- Or you're back.

- Whoo.

- Or both.

- Whoa.

- Maybe I'll start with sitting.

- Whoa.

- That was great.

- Go again.

- Come on, Emily.

- Look out below.

- Wow.

- Look at me.

Look at.

- Whoa.

- Come on.

Everybody try it.

- No thanks.

- I don't swim much.

- We'll help you.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

That was fun.

- I can do that.

- Hang on.

- Whoa.

- I did it.

- What's the matter, Cat?

- I don't do mud slides.

- He can't swim.

- I can too.

- Oof.

- Look.

Cat can swim.

- Wow.

- Let's go again.

- Yeehaw.

- Oh.

- Whoa.

- Whoa.

- Whoa.

- Can you do that again?

I didn't know I could do it once.

- Whoa.

- Yeehaw.

- Look out, below.

- Whoa.

- Whoa.

- Whoa.

- Ready, go.

- Wee.

- Wee.

- That's a nice hat.

- Now we match.

- What kind of trees are these?

- They're oak trees.

Guess how old they grow to be.

- More than three years?

- Lots more, Duck.

They can become 1,000 years old.

- Wow.

- We have to go now, little bear.

- I know.

- Here, Emily.

I want you to have this to remind you of good times

we have at Hot Frog Pod.

- What are you doing, Emily?

- I'm planting the acorn here.

So one day it will be a big oak tree.

Then we can swing off it.

- By next summer?

- It will probably take a little longer, Duck.

- Next summer can't come soon enough.

- That's because we're all friends.

- We sure are.

- Yes, always friends.

- We are friends, aren't we?
