It sure is hot.
It's not so hot in the water.
I wish I were a duck.
Duck.
That way I could stay in the pond all day long.
Duck?
Duck.
How about, I'll be you for a day.
Okay.
But if you're me, then who am I?
I'll be you and you be me.
You're duck.
And I'm a little bear?
Mm-hmm.
Interesting.
Duck?
Duck?
Duck?
I'm not duck.
You're duck.
But where are you going?
My name is Little Bear and I'm going home.
Quack.
What Quack?
What Quack?
Quack.
Quack.
What Quack?
Whoa.
Quack Quack.
I'm home.
It's Little Bear.
Mother Bear.
Where are you?
Oh, dear.
Mother Bear is not here.
Hm.
Carrots and potatoes.
Peas and tomatoes.
Mother Bear must be making soup.
It's birthday soup.
But whose birthday is it?
I know.
It's my birthday.
I'm Little Bear and today is my birthday
and soon my friends will come with lots of presents.
I love presents.
Quack Quack.
Quack.
Mmm.
Peep, peep, peep.
Peep, peep.
What are you doing?
I'm duck.
Quack, quack.
Quack.
Quack, quack, quack.
Quack.
Hm.
Oh.
Hello.
Hello.
Oh, hello, duck.
Where's Little Bear?
I'm right here.
You're not Little Bear.
Yes, I am.
Oh, what are you doing?
It's my birthday and I'm making birthday soup.
Did you bring me a present?
Well.
Hello.
Hello, Cat.
Little Bear's making birthday soup.
Mm.
Where is Little Bear?
I'm Little Bear and today is my birthday.
Did you bring me a present?
No.
Then you don't get any birthday soup.
Mm.
Hello, everyone.
Where's Little Bear?
Here I am, Mother Bear.
Oh.
And today is Little Bear's birthday.
Oh, I see.
Well, happy birthday, Little Bear.
Why doesn't everyone sit down
and I'll go make a birthday surprise?
OK.
Hen, you sit here.
I want to be Cat.
I'll be you and you be me.
A book?
A book?
A book?
I wonder what Duck eats when she's hungry.
Hi.
What?
What, what?
Hi, hi, hi.
Sorry.
Maybe I'll go to Little Bear's house.
Mmm.
What did you do today, Hen?
I cleaned the house and made myself beautiful.
What did you do, Cat?
I gave myself a long bath and napped the rest of the day.
Meow.
All right, Little Bear.
Shut your eyes and say one, two, three.
One, two, three.
Oh, Mother Bear, thank you.
Now blow out your candle.
Wait.
Hello, Duck.
It's my birthday.
Did you bring me a present?
No.
Do you want to wear a party hat?
Go on, Little Bear.
Blow out your candle.
Whoo!
Happy Birthday, Little Bear.
Please pass the cookies, Hen.
I'm Cat.
He's Hen.
Buck.
Mm.
You know, it's not really my birthday.
I know.
But if I only get to be you for one day,
then I want to be you on your birthday.
Yummy.
Meow.
What?
What?
Now can I be Little Bear again?
Okay, but if you're Little Bear,
then who am I?
I'll be me and you'll be you.
You're the Little Bear and I'm Duck.
And I'm Cat.
Meow.
And I'm Hen.
And you are my Mother Bear.
Can I have another cookie?
Yes.
And then you'll have your nap.
For you are my Little Bear.
And I know it.
I'm glad I'm not Little Bear.
I don't like naps.
Mm.
Hello.
Hello.
I love fish too.
I've got one.
She sells seashells by the seashores.
She sells seashells by the seashores.
That was good?
Now for Hen.
Hm.
Let me see.
Oh, I know.
♪ You little Bear, hey hoo ♪
♪ You little Bear, hey hoo ♪
Wow.
What was that?
A yodel.
Can I try?
Yes, Hen.
Will you teach us?
With pleasure, Little Bear.
Each of you repeat after me.
Hit him.

All right now, duck.

Very good.
Ow?
Splendid.

- What's wrong with your voice, little bear?
- My throat hurts.
- Hmm.
- Little bear, you've got a frog in your throat.
- A frog?
- Oh, dear.
- Can I see it?
- Sure, I guess.
- Oh!
[coughs]
- Ouch!
- You should go home, little bear.
Mother bear will know how to take care of it.
- Well, I guess you're right.
- What should be E-O-D-I-E next?

- Hello, mitzi.
- Why do you sound so funny?
- How else does I have a frog in my throat?
- Do you think you can see it?
- I'll try.
- Oh, open wide.
- A wider little bear?
- Can you see anything?
- No, your tongue's in the way.
- Where is he?
[coughs]
- Ouch!
- What happened?
- The frog bit me.
- Oh, sorry.
I better be getting home.
- Good idea.
- Rabbit.
[coughs]

- Oh, frog, it's you.
- What is wrong, Little Bear?
- I have a frog in my throat.
- Pardon me?
- Can you see him?
- See who?
- The frog.
- It is just a saying, Little Bear.
Actually, you are losing your voice, but do not worry.
It is just a temporary state of being.
Go home, Little Bear.
[clearing throat]
[humming]
[birds chirping]
- Hello, Little Bear.
- Uh...
- What's the matter?
- I have a frog in my throat.
And it hurts.
- My poor little Bear.
I know just the cure.
- Here we go.
A nice cup of hot lemonade with honey.
[humming]
- I think I found my voice again.
- Good.
- I'm glad it wasn't really a frog.
- Me too.
[laughing]
- Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
- Ah!
- Hello, Mother Bear.
- Mm.
Mother Bear, we all have frogs and arse rocks.
- Mm.
- I know just the thing.
- More hot lemonade with honey.
- Thank you, Mother Bear.
- Thank you, Mother Bear.
Thank you, Mother Bear.

You're welcome.

- Whoa!
- Oh!
- Huh?
- Huh?
- [laughing]
- Oh!
- Huh?
- Huh?
- Whoa!
- Hello, Duck.
- Hello, Little Bear.
- What are you doing?
- Jumping over puddles.
- Oh, I like splashing in puddles.
[laughing]
- This is a nice puddle, Duck.
- It's my favorite.
- It's nice and round.
- And not too deep.
- And the water's so clear.
- I can even see myself.
- This is my perfect puddle.
- Yes.
Perfect to jump over.
- Oh.
Wait!
What if you hurt my puddle?
- Don't worry, Duck.
I won't hurt your puddle.
- Huh?
- [screaming]
- Whoa!
- Oops.
- You hurt my puddle?
- I'm sorry, Duck.
[growling]
- That was my perfect puddle.
- Come on.
We'll find another one.
- Look, Duck, here's a puddle.
- Well, it is nice and round.
- Ugh.
- And I can jump over it.
[screaming]
- Hmm.
- It's too small.
[laughing]
- Yes, I see.
Okay, let's keep looking.
- Whoa.
What do you think, Duck?
- What, what?
- It's not deep enough.
- Oh.
- How about this one?
- Too muddy.
[sighing]
- Black, black!
- Maybe we should follow those frogs.
Frogs always know where the good puddles are.
- Ribbit.
- Hello, little bear.
- Hello, frog.
- Hello, Duck.
- Hello, frog.
- What are you doing?
- We're looking for the perfect puddle.
- Ah, yes.
But can a puddle ever truly be perfect?
- Well, as long as it's nice and round,
and not too small, and not too muddy,
that would be perfect for me.
- If it is puddles you want,
I will show you the way.
- We are here.
- Wow!
Look at all the puddles!
- Yes, this is our special place.
Do you like it?
- It's great.
Let's start jumping.
- Let's start splashing.
- Oh.
[laughing]
Oh.
[laughing]
- Yay!
[screaming]
- Ribbit.
- [laughing]
- What?
What?
What?
What?
- Oh.
- Here is a true test, puddle jumper.
- Wow.
This is the biggest puddle I've ever seen.
- Little bear, you can't jump on a lily pad.
You'll see.
- Hmm.
You're right, duck.
Interesting.
Look out! Here I come!
- Huh?
[grunting]
- Whoa!
- Whoa!
[grunting]
- You did it, little bear!
[grunting]
[laughing]
[grunting]
- I hereby proclaim little bear,
the great puddle jumper.

- Uh-oh.
It's starting to rain.
- That was fun, little bear.
- Thank you.
- I'm sorry, Duck.
We never did find your perfect puddle.
- Oh, that's okay.
- Look, Duck.
- My perfect puddle!
[screaming]
- [giggling]
- [giggling]
- [giggling]
- It's perfect again.
- Little bear?
Would you like to try and jump over my puddle?
- Can I?
- Um, sure.
- Okay, here I come.
- Oh.
[giggling]
[giggling]
- You did it, little bear.
- You are the best puddle jumper.
- Thank you, Duck.
And you're the best puddle splasher.
