Boo!

Whoa!

Hmm, well, your throat's a little red, and you're a little warm.

I feel... I feel... ugh... ugh... ugh... ugh... ugh... ugh... ugh!

Fine.

Somebody has a cold.

Who?

You.

I'm too hot to have a cold.

You need to get some rest.

But what about the picnic? Everybody's waiting for me.

Maybe tomorrow.

But the picnic is today.

I'm sorry, little bear, but when you're sick, you have to stay in bed.

For how long?

Until you get better.

Little bear.

Hello.

What are you doing in bed?

What about the picnic? Everyone's waiting for you.

They are?

You go ahead. I have to stay in bed. I'm sick.

That's terrible. Horrible.

Awful. Yes.

Well, goodbye.

Goodbye, little bear.

You feel better.

Interesting.

Bless you.

I hear you're under the weather.

I have a cold.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Mother bear says I have to stay in bed the whole day.

I'm sick.

When I was sick and lay a bed, I had two pillows at my head and all my days beside me lay to keep me happy all the day.

What's that?

It's a poem my father used to tell me whenever I was sick.

Did you have to stay in bed too?

The whole day.

When I was sick and lay a bed, I had two pillows at my head.

What did you do when you were sick and had to stay in bed the whole day?

Sometimes for an hour or so, I watched my leaden soldiers go with different uniforms and drills among the bed clothes through the hills.

Among the bed clothes through the hills.

Is that a hill?

I believe it is.

There's a hill.

And here's a hill.

That's a big hill.

This is not a hill.

This is a mountain.

Look at me.

I'm climbing the mountain.

I'm on the top of the mountain.

Hello down there.

Hello up there.

Look out below.

Here I come.

Wee!

I see the ocean.

Where?

And sometimes set my ships in fleets all up and down among the sheets.

Sips and fleets among the sheets.

Or brought my trees and houses out.

And planted cities all about.

Or brought my trees and houses out and planted cities all about.

Ships a hoy.

I'm a fisherman.

Caught anything lately?

Just a bag cold.

[laughing]

I see hills and a mountain and the ocean.

I see a giant.

Where?

You're the giant, great and still.

I'm the giant?

That sits upon the pillow hill.

I'm the giant on pillow hill.

Is anybody hungry?

Sam?

I'm starving.

I thought we might have a picnic.

Let's have a picnic on pillow hill.

Pillow hill.

Don't worry.

I don't have to get out of bed.

We're all ready there.

Mmm.

I'm the hungry giant on pillow hill.

Father Bear.

Mmm.

Do you want to go back to pillow hill?

It's time for you to get some sleep.

Sleep tight, little Bear.

Ships and pleats among the sheets.

Ships and pleats among the sheets.

I'm the giant, great and still.

That sits upon the pillow hill.

Hello down there.

Wait for me!

[squeaking]

[squeaking]

[squeaking]

Don't you love summer cat?

[squeaking]

It's so quiet.

Here I come.

[screaming]

Sounds like hen is in trouble.

Come on, cat.

Where are you going?

To make sure hen's all right.

[squeaking]

[squeaking]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Um, hello hen?

No!

Are you all right?

Whatever do you mean?

I've never been better.

How long have you two been standing there?

Long enough.

To, uh, hear your, um, singing?

Singing.

Oh, of course that was just a warm up.

Oh.

[squeaking]

[squeaking]

What did you think?

Did you like it?

Well, it's, it's, uh...

[laughing]

You didn't like it.

Oh, no, it's, it's really interesting.

Interesting.

You did like it.

No.

I knew it.

Cat.

What?

I'll never be any good.

What do you mean?

I've always dreamed of becoming...

an oppressinger.

But I'm afraid everyone will laugh at me.

Hen.

Diva hen.

Diva hen?

Birds sing.

Why can't chickens sing?

Because they can't.

Cat.

What?

Hen?

Are you all right?

We came as fast as we could.

Everyone, please take your seats.

The performance is about to begin.

Performance?

What performance?

Hen.

Uh, Diva hen?

Your audience is here.

Hello, fans.

Hi.

I don't think Hen is feeling well.

Maybe she's sick.

Could be the chicken box.

Hm.

Hen?

Oh, dear to me.

I can't go on.

But they came to hear you saying.

But I'm terrible.

I can't sing a note.

I'm no good.

That's not true, Hen.

You can do it.

I can't.

I can't.

But Diva hen can.

All right.

Places, please.

And now.

Hen.

Diva hen.

Oh.

And now.

Diva hen.

Uh, the wonderful Diva hen.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

The wonderful Diva hen.

My ears are ringing.

Oh.

Oh.

Interesting?

Is it over?

(sigh) I'm afraid the opera isn't over till the fat lady sings.

That's better?

That's a wonderful singer when you can't hear her sing.

What?

Oh, uh-oh.

Look at her again.

Yuck.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Ooh.

Hence a wonderful singer when she's not too loud.

What?

They liked me. They really liked me.

You were really something, Diva Henn.

Thank you.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to rest my voice for my next performance.

What a mix.

Next performance.

Ah, here they are.

What are you doing, little bear?

Father Bear said he would take me fishing.

Not just now, little bear. Father Bear is busy.

Oh.

I'll just practice out here until Father Bear is ready.

Oops.

That was a good cast, little bear.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

I'm going to do a little work in the garden.

And after that, maybe we could go fishing?

We'll see. There's a lot to do.

I promised Mother Bear I'd make room for her tomato plants.

Hello, no feet.

Hello, little bear. Hello, Father Bear.

Excuse me, no feet, but I think we're going to have to move this rock.

This rock? But this is my best sonning place.

You can still sun on it. We'll just move it over a little.

Can I help?

Of course. Why don't you dig up those weeds over there?

Look. A worm.

Worms. Yuck.

Father Bear, I found a worm.

Oh, that's good, little bear.

Can I use this bucket for the worms?

It's good to have worms, just in case we go fishing.

Look. There's another one.

Got it.

And here's more.

Look, Father Bear. We're going to have lots of worms.

Worms are good for the garden. They help the plants grow.

Oh, okay.

I'll put some back.

Good idea.

What can I do now, Father Bear?

Let's see. The garden could use good watering.

I can do that.

You might have a kink in the hose, little bear.

Try pulling on it.

Oh, you sprayed me, little bear.

Little Bear.

Make sure you water the plants, too.

Look, the water's stuck and can't come out.

Hmm. I wonder what it could be.

You better watch out.

Look out, Father Bear.

Doesn't that feel good?

It sure does.

Do you want to try no feet?

Well, I suppose so.

Father Bear, are you almost ready to go fishing?

Oh, not quite. I still have to move that rock.

I don't know why anyone would want to move this rock.

I quite like it where it is.

We have to move it so Mother Bear can plant more tomato plants.

I like tomatoes, but I like this rock, too.

Hmm. Maybe we have to try something else.

I know.

I'm helping Father Bear.

All right. Let's give it a good pull.

You better watch out, no feet.

Oh, I don't think this rock is going anywhere.

Okay. Here we go.

You better be careful. It might be slippery on the grass.

Whee!

Come on, Father Bear. You try.

Hello, Mother Bear.

Hi. Look, Mother Bear.

We hold the garden, and we found worms for fishing,

and water the plants, and now we're trying to pull out a big rock.

Yes, I see.

You've done a good job out here.

This will work very well for my tomato plants.

There. That's all done.

Thank you.

Mother Bear, that's the rock we were trying to move.

Oh, but I quite like this rock.

It's my best-sunning place.

That's what I said.

Now can we go fishing?

Of course. You two go fishing.

No feed, and I will stay here and watch the plants.

Gardens take a lot of work. Don't they, Father Bear?

Yes, they do, Little Bear.

Lucky for me, I had a good helper.
