Boo!

Wow!

Do you like my clouds?

Perfect.

Hello!

We got the corn plants.

Oh, they do look wilted.

Pitiful.

They need water.

I wish it would rain.

We all wish it would rain.

That's why we're doing the rain dance play.

Let's try the dance one more time.

Everybody?

Little clouds up in the sky, gather round, don't pass us by.

You can give us nice cool rain to make the corn plants grow again.

That wasn't part of the dance.

Here's the water.

Do I stand right here?

No, no, Cat.

You're backstage with the bucket on the ladder.

Backstage?

I do my line from backstage.

No one will see me.

Oh, stop complaining.

You've got the most important line in the whole play.

Do you remember it?

How could I forget?

It's only one line.

One word.

Let's practice.

Little bear, start with deer clouds.

Okay, I say deer clouds.

What can we do to please you?

And we say...

What can we do?

What can we do?

Good.

And what do you say, Cat?

Dance.

One word.

Dance.

Excellent.

And then we do our rain dance.

And finally, at the end of the dance.

Cat?

I finally appear at the end of the dance.

I dump the bucket.

And we pretend it's rain.

And we pretend it's rain.

Whoo!

Okay?

Are you sad, Princess Satteraw?

I am sad, brave one.

The corn plants are wilted.

The poor things need water.

They can't live without water.

Without water, they will die.

Die, die, die!

But look at the sky!

[laughing]

Look at Cat.

Cat, not yet!

[laughing]

Oh, great clouds in the sky.

We need your rain.

Please send the rain.

Send lightning.

Lightning.

Send thunder.

Thunder!

Stop! Stop! Enough!

[laughing]

Great clouds.

We send our arrows to the great clouds to bring the rain.

Get your arrows.

What?

The arrows.

Oh, the arrows!

[laughing]

Arrows for rain!

[laughing]

Arrows for rain!

[laughing]

Ooh!

Hey!

Watch it!

Sorry, great cloud.

[laughing]

Our hopes are for Princess Satteraw.

She worries about the corn.

Corn is food for us all!

Corn is food for us all!

We'd be so thankful for the rain if you have some to spare.

If you have some to spare.

Dear clouds, what can we do to please you?

What can we do?

What can we do to please you?

Cat, it's your one big line.

What can we do?

Summer soles.

Hey!

Backflips.

Stand on your heads.

Oh, cat, cut it out.

You're supposed to say dance.

It's a rain dance play.

He's supposed to say dance.

[laughing]

Did someone say dance?

[laughing]

You want to dance?

So dance.

Get down when they're silly.

Never mind.

Let's dance.

Let's dance.

Little clouds up in the sky.

Gather round your passes by.

You can give us nice cool rain.

To make the corn plants grow again.

Please send rain in buckets if you like.

Hurry up, cat.

In buckets.

Okay, okay.

Wow, cat.

That was a big bucket.

No waste.

It's raining.

It's really raining.

It's raining.

It's pouring.

The old bear is snoring.

He rubbed his shoulder on a great big boulder

and wouldn't get up in the morning.

Yeah!

Uncar!

Uncar!

Bravo!

Bravo!

Uncar!

Bravo!

Little bear, do you think we really made it rain?

I don't know.

Yeah!

But I know I'm getting soaked.

What?

Well, I never.

[laughing]

So, how many apples are there?

Wait!

I'm the teacher, remember?

So, how many apples are there?

One, two, three.

Two, very good.

And how many lemons?

Um...

One.

Then, how many fruits are there all together?

Um...

Three.

Very good little bear.

You too, Lucy.

Children.

Who'd like cake?

We can't.

We're in school.

We have snacks in school.

You do?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Are you excited about going back to school, Emily?

I am very excited.

Thank you.

Lemonade little bear?

No, thanks.

You love lemonade.

What's the matter?

Lemonade is for summer and summer's over.

This is the last lemonade we'll ever have.

Oh, little bear.

It's true.

Summer's over.

Emily's leaving and tomorrow will rain all day.

It won't rain.

[sighing]

Let it rain.

What does it matter?

Come on.

Hmm.

I wish I could stay, but I have to go home for the school year.

Why?

Everybody has to.

But we can play school here.

This is real school.

It's fun.

We learn to read, write, and learn all kinds of things.

I'll be back next summer.

That's a long time away.

It's not so long.

You'll see.

Emily will come back with lots of stories to tell about school.

And Lucy will too.

Will Lucy go to school too?

Of course.

[groaning]

There's a storm coming in.

You see?

I knew it would rain.

I'd better see Emily home before it starts.

Not yet.

Just a little longer, Father Bear.

Let's spin.

[laughing]

Whoa!

Little Bear, we don't want to get caught in the rain.

You know how Lucy doesn't like to get wet?

Lucy's going to miss you.

Lucy, say goodbye to Little Bear.

Goodbye, Lucy.

You know, Lucy doesn't really want to leave.

Can she stay with you?

With me?

Mm-hmm.

Do you have Lucy to meet?

Mm-hmm.

Oops, I forgot.

Lucy has to go to school.

To school, of course.

This is for you, Little Bear.

It's a pen.

For me?

Really?

I want you to have it.

Thank you, Emily.

Wait.

This is for you.

You can sail it in your bathtub.

Thank you. I love it.

I'll see you next summer.

Mm-hmm.

Goodbye, Little Bear.

Little Bear, would you like to come along with us?

No.

Can you make us some hot chocolate, Mother Bear?

This is a nice pen, Emily, gave you, Little Bear.

It's very nice, like Emily.

May I try it?

I guess.

It writes beautifully.

It certainly does.

Can I try?

What's that?

A circle.

It's also the letter O.

It is?

Do you know what we can do with this pen?

We can learn the alphabet.

We can?

Just like Emily learns in school.

It takes practice.

I can practice.

Then one day, you'll be able to write a letter to Emily,

with your fine new pen.

I will, really, win.

Let's see.

A, B, C.

A, B, C, Oops.

Very good, Little Bear.

Cat.

In.

See, no more.

Dear Emily.

It's snowing.

I love the snow.

I wish I could send you some.

Owl, duck, and hen, send their love.

So do the ducklings.

I can't wait for the summer to come.

Your friend, Little Bear.

Hi, Duck.

Hello, Little Bear.

Where are you going?

You know?

I don't know.

I just feel like I really need to go somewhere.

Hi, Duck.

Hello, Little Bear.

Where are you going?

You know?

I don't know.

I just feel like I really need to go somewhere.

Oh, OK.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

Mmm.

[Sighs]

Little Bear, where are you going?

I don't know.

Can I come?

Sure.

What's the matter?

Not a thing.

Can I come?

Come on.

Whoa.

My goodness.

What?

What is it?

We don't know.

But it must be important.

It must be.

Oh, my.

[Grunts]

Wow.

Oh.

Interesting.

Look at the pumpkins.

They're huge.

They're so many.

Where did they come from?

I don't know.

But who cares?

Yay!

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

[Grunts]

[Giggles]

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

What?

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

Whee!

Whoa!

[Giggles]

That was great.

I wish Emily was here.

But I am here.

Hi, Little Bear.

Emily, I thought you went back to school.

I'm just visiting for the weekend.

What are you doing?

I'm raking leaves and then jumping in them.

Ooh.

That looks like fun.

[Giggles]

Nice, huh?

Mm-hmm.

I love fall.

Me too.

[Grunts]

Hey, Doc.

Where are you going now?

I don't know.

I just feel like I really need to go someplace warm.

Have a nice trip.

Can you stay?

[Grunts]

And then we'll have fun in the winter time, too.

Is it winter already?

Whoa!

Whee!

[Giggles]

Emily, we never got to play in the winter before.

I know it's great.

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

Whoa!

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

What's that?

[Giggles]

Loose.

Hi there, little ones.

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

Whew!

Whew!

Whew!

Whew!

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

I'm dizzy.

It's spring.

[Giggles]

Look!

Come on!

[Giggles]

Would you like a wild plum?

Yes, please.

I'd like many.

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

I wish I had a basket.

Here's a basket.

[Giggles]

Hello, Cat.

I'm hungry.

Me too.

I never had a wild plum before.

Oh, yum.

They come in the spring.

By summer, they're gone.

Hmm.

These are delicious.

They'll be gone before lunch.

What a wonderful day this has been.

A wonderful year.

No wonder I'm tired.

Me too.

[Giggles]

I might take a little rest.

Hmm, good idea.

A little nap.

A little rest, but not a nap.

I don't want to fall asleep.

I want to stay awake until summertime comes.

Until summertime comes?

Yes.

When school's over, and Emily comes back.

But I'm already here.

Emily always comes back in the summer.

Emily will be here.

Little bear.

She'll be here.

Wake up, sleepyhead.

I'm already here.

You're here?

Of course I'm here.

You were taking a nap, so I raked up the leaves.

The leaves?

In the summer?

No, silly.

It's fall.

Fall?

Hmm.

I must have slept for a year.

Did you dream?

Yes.

You were in it.

I was glad you were here.

I'm glad I'm here.

Me too.

Duck?

I thought you were going someplace warm.

It was too far.

Oh!
