- It's a big one, I caught a big one.

- Little bear.

- Oh.

- What are you doing?

- Just making sure my fishing rod still works.

- It seems to work just fine.

- When Father Bear comes home, we're going fishing.

- Ah.

Father Bear doesn't get home for a week.

- I know.

- I just wanna make sure everything is ready.

- Do you wanna help me bring in the laundry?

- Sure.

- Hey.

- Oh dear.

- Oh, I got it.

- Thank you, little bear.

- You're welcome.

- Look at Father Bear's nature.

- It looks like Father Bear's still in it.

- I'll get it down.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oops.

- Oh dear.

- Hey, don't worry, Mother Bear.

I'll bring it back.

- Aw.

- There you are.

- Got you.

- Whoo hoo, did it, did it, did it, did it.

- Whoa.

- Hey, where are you?

Are we playing hide and seek?

- What are you doing up there?

- I guess I'm going to have to get you down.

- Oh, a night shirt with two heads.

Now you two get back in your nest.

- Chirp, chirp, chirp.

- What are you doing to my babies?

- Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.

- Oh, they were out of the nest.

I was just putting them back.

- One, two, three.

Where's the other one?

- Other one.

- Three, I have three babies.

- Uh, oh, there, there he is.

- Come here, my little precious.

One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three.

Well, that's enough excitement for one day.

It's time you went to sleep.

Everybody else should go home.

- We were just leaving.

- One, two, three, one, two, three.

There, there, you're all safe now.

- Wait, wait.

- Ooh, what are you doing now?

- You're not going to get very far in this boat.

- Just like Father Bear wants to go fishing.

- Uh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

- Now you want to go swimming?

- Oh, huh?

- Oh, you caught a fish.

Mother Bear will be proud of you.

- Hello?

- Hello, Mother Bear.

We're back.

- My, you're a wet little bear.

- Father Bear's nature and I went fishing.

- What a fine catch.

Oh, what's happened here?

- Uh-oh.

- Don't worry, we can fix it.

- There, now it's all mended and warm

and ready for Father Bear when he comes home.

And I think it's time you went to bed.

- All right.

- Well, I think I'm feeling a little chilly tonight.

- Maybe it is a little more chilly than usual.

- Yes, I'm feeling more chilly than usual.

- Well, here, why don't you put this on?

- Can I?

- Why not?

I'm sure Father Bear won't mind.

- Are you warm enough?

- I'm very warm.

- Sweet dreams, little bear.

- Good night, Mother Bear.

Good night, Father Bear.

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

- Oops.

- It's okay, little bear.

It's sounding good.

- All right, little bear.

I think it's time for bed.

- Thank you for the trumpet lesson, Father Bear.

- You're welcome.

- There you go.

- Did you hear that?

- Hear what, little bear?

- That noise, it sounded like a ghost.

- Things sound strange on a windy night.

- Well, it sure sounds spooky.

- If you listen closely,

you can hear the music in the wind.

Do you hear it?

- Um, sort of.

- The next sound I want to hear is you're snoring.

- Good night, Mother Bear.

- Sleep well, little bear.

- Good night, Father Bear.

Can you leave the candle, please?

- All right.

- Good night.

- I do hear it.

- It is music.

- Whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

- Yeah.

- Hey, oh, oh, yeah.

- Don't sneak up on us like that.

- You nearly scared us to death.

- Sorry.

- Did we scare you?

- Well, yes.

- Sort of.

- Well, we didn't mean to.

- No, we didn't mean it.

- We would never do a thing like that.

- But what are you doing up so late?

- Well, I thought I heard someone playing music.

- Yeah, that was us.

I thought it was the wind.

- The wind?

- What does he know about real music?

- Everybody blames the wind.

- Yeah.

- No, it was us.

Are you ghosts?

- Ghosts?

- Does anybody see a ghost?

- Where's a ghost?

- Yeah.

- Oh yeah.

- We're ghosts?

- Yeah, ghosts.

- Sure, ghosts.

- What are you doing in my house?

- Playing music.

- Did you like it?

- Yes, it was very good.

- You think so?

- Then we'll play some more.

- And one, two, three.

- Why don't you sit in with us, Wilbur.

- All right, I'll be right back.

- It's Father Bear's trumpet.

We'll be the perfect quartet.

We'll start, then you join in.

Here we go.

One, two, three.

- Join in, little bear.

Let's hear Father Bear's trumpet.

- What, what, what, what's that?

- Oh my.

Little bear?

- Little bear.

- Oh, what are you doing up?

- Well, I was laying in bed when I heard some music.

- Mm-hmm.

- And I came out to see what it was.

- Yes?

- Well, there were ghosts playing music.

- Ghosts?

- Well, raccoon ghosts.

- Raccoon ghosts?

- Well, that's what they said.

- And where are they now?

- Uh, you scared them away.

- Ghosts don't like it when you sneak up on them.

- Oh, little bear.

You must have been dreaming.

- No, I wasn't dreaming.

They were here.

- We should all go back to bed now.

- Yes.

- That's enough ghost stories for one night.

- Good night, little bear.

- Good night, mother bear.

- Father bear?

- Yes, little bear?

- At least now I know how to scare ghosts.

- Good night, little bear.

- Good night, father bear.

- Your turn, cat.

- Just a minute.

- Cat has freeze.

- I don't have freeze.

- Uh, uh, uh.

- Don't sneeze, doc.

- Okay.

- Watch out!

Oh, doc.

- Sorry, I always sneeze a lot in the winter.

See, here, I'll fix it.

- So, what do we do when the card castle is finished?

- We look at it.

- Oh.

You should do something about those fleas.

- I do not have fleas.

In the winter, my coat gets thick and it gets itchy.

And this winter has been very long.

- Cute!

Sorry.

It must be awful to sneeze a winter.

It's bad, but it's not as bad as having fleas.

- That's it.

- I'm safe, I'm safe.

- Oh, maybe it's time for you all to go outside and play.

- All right, mother bear.

I sure wish it was warm outside.

- Oh, I wish it were spring.

- Me too.

- I have an idea.

Why don't you go and find Groundhog?

See if you can wake him up and find out when spring will come.

- Groundhog?

How will he know?

- Well, if he sees his shadow, spring will be late.

- It will?

- Yes, but if he doesn't see his shadow,

spring will be early.

- Oh, come on.

- Let's go find Groundhog.

- Wait a minute.

I can't remember.

Is the shadow good or bad?

- Here's how we can remember.

Help me, cat.

Shadow?

- Oh, that's bad, right?

- Right, we're in for a long winter.

- No shadow?

- That's good.

- Right, spring will be here soon.

- Shadow, bad, no shadow, good.

Shadow, bad, no shadow, good.

- Groundhog lives right around here somewhere.

Shadow, bad, no shadow.

Ow, where am I?

- Good work, Doc.

- Thank you.

What did I do?

- I think you found Groundhog's house.

- Oh!

What's that noise?

You think he's sleeping?

- Maybe should we wake him up?

- We'll have to if we want to see a shadow.

Hello, Groundhog?

- Um, excuse us.

Can we talk to you for a minute?

- Wake up!

- What's going on?

Who's making all that racket?

- Hello, Groundhog.

It's just us.

- Well, what do you want?

- Um, we want you to come out.

- So we can see your shadow.

Or your no shadow.

- I'm not coming out, it's snowing cold.

- A chute!

- See?

No, where am I, your muffs?

- Ah, that's better.

- I don't think he wants to come out.

- Aww, now we'll never know when spring will come.

Hmm, I have an idea.

- What, little bear?

- Maybe we can pull him out,

see if he has a shadow, and stick him back in.

- Without waking him up?

- Right.

- But we'll have to be very, very quiet.

Come on.

Okay, both.

- Harder.

- Harder.

- Let's get him into the sunlight.

- Oh, he's heavy.

- He's a good sleeper.

- And snorer.

- Uh-oh.

- Actually, I've never done that.

- Come on, the sun's just at the bottom of that hill.

Careful, it's slippery.

- Oh, don't worry.

I'm a cat.

I never lose my footing.

- Whoa!

- What's going on?

- What am I doing out here?

- I'm in the snow, in the cold.

- Well, we brought you here.

What for?

- We were going to put you right back.

We're sorry.

We just wanted to see if you had a shadow.

- Do you see a shadow?

- No.

- Well, neither do I.

- Shadow, bad, no shadow, good.

It's good, it's good.

- Spring will be early.

- Terrific.

Now, can I please go back to bed?

Don't you want to tell everyone the good news?

- No, I want to go back to sleep.

Why don't you three tell everybody the news?

- Thank you, Groundhog.

Thank you.

- Huh.

- Thanks, Groundhog.

We'll see you next year.

- Oh, where am I, ear muffs?

- Spring is coming.

- It's coming, Spring's coming.

- It's spring, it's on its way.

- Spring's coming.

- Have we told everyone?

- I think so.

- Look, the ice is melting.

Spring really is coming.

- I want some spring on me.

I want some spring on me.

- Spring is here.

Let's see.
