Field of Flowers.

- [Narrator] It was spring,

and everyone was enjoying the plentiful food in the meadow.

Little Nutbrown Hare was eager to pick a tasty breakfast

to share with his father, Big Nutbrown Hare.

[sniffs]

- Are these ripe yet?

- Yes, they look good.

- [Narrator] When he was surprised by a most unusual event.

- Oh!

Look, a walking flower!

[giggles]

- Good morning, Nutbrown Hares.

- Hello, Little Field Mouse.

- That's a good hiding spot.

- It isn't a hiding spot, Big Nutbrown Hare.

It's a flower!

- Indeed, it is.

A wonderful flower.

- A very wonderful flower!

It's so big and so purple!

- There's plenty more just like this one in the meadow.

I'll show you, if you like.

- Can I have a flower, too?

- Of course.

- Hurray!

[light music]

- Let's pick flowers!

[laughs]

- But don't pick too many!

You never know who else might want those flowers.

- All right.

We won't pick too many.

[laughs]

[light music]

[gasps]

My own purple flower!

It's very special.

- So is this one!

And this one!

- For you.

- Thank you.

And for you.

[giggles]

- Oh, this one's lovely.

[giggles]

- But this one is even more lovely!

[giggles]

- This is the loveliest ever.

- But this is the most loveliest of all!

[laughs]

- The most loveliest.

[laughs]

Let's give these flowers to Big Nutbrown Hare.

He'll love them!

- Yes!

Oh.

- What is it?

- What about all our friends?

They won't have any.

- We could pick some for them, too.

- Good idea.

Some for Little Gray Squirrel.

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] And for Little Redwood Fox.

- And Otter.

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] And Little White Owl.

- There.

Now we have flowers for everyone!

[soft music]

- Hello, Little Nutbrown Hare.

- Hello, Little Field Mouse.

- [Both] Hello, Bluebird.

- Aren't these flowers lovely?

- They are.

But don't pick too many.

- But why?

- Because they're for everyone to share.

- Oh.

- Okay!

- I must go.

I'm on my way back to my little chicks.

Goodbye!

- Goodbye! - Goodbye, Bluebird.

- Oh!

We don't have any flowers for Bluebird.

- You're right.

Let's pick an extra big bunch for her.

[light music]

[giggles]

[light music]

- Bluebird will love these!

- Look!

There are hardly any flowers left!

- Oh no!

Bluebird told us not to pick too many.

That's right.

The flowers are here to share.

But we are sharing them.

We have some for everyone.

- Oh yes, that's true!

- Let's deliver them.

[pants]

I wonder why these butterflies are following us.

[bright music]

For you.

- Thank you!

[laughs]

- For you!

- Thank you!

How lovely.

[snores]

[giggles]

[laughs]

- Thank you!

[laughs]

- Oh.

[laughs]

- Do you like them?

- They are beautiful.

[giggles]

[bright music]

- The last bunch.

- Bluebird!

We have something for you!

- Hello again.

[chirps]

[sighs]

How beautiful!

Thank you.

[laughs]

- Now we've given flowers to all our friends.

- All of your friends?

- Here are those butterflies again.

- I wonder why they followed us all this way.

- It's because they like the nectar from the flowers.

- Nectar?

- What's that?

- [Bluebird] Nectar is their food and drink.

I wonder why they didn't stay at the flowerbed

where you picked all those flowers.

- I, I don't know.

- [Bluebird] There were plenty of flowers there.

- Oh, well there were plenty of flowers there.

- How many did you pick?

- Quite a few.

- Quite a lot.

- A bunch for everyone.

- Oh dear.

- We didn't mean to.

- We know you told us not to.

- We just started picking, and before we knew it

[sighs]

we picked them all.

- But there are so many other flowers here.

Why don't the butterflies drink nectar from them?

- They like some flowers more than others.

They do love these purple ones.

- But this bunch of flowers won't be enough

for all these butterflies, will it?

- No.

- Oh no!

We've taken all the butterflies' flowers.

- The poor butterflies.

- Wait a minute!

I flew over a big field of purple flowers this morning.

- Did you?

- Where?

- It's quite a long way away.

If only we could find a way to get the butterflies to it.

- They do look thirsty.

- I have an idea!

Bluebird, if you lead the way, we can follow you

to the field of purple flowers.

- [Both] Yes.

- And we'll use this bunch of flowers to lead

the butterflies there.

- That's a great idea!

- All right, let's go!

- Don't worry, little butterflies.

We'll soon get you to a whole field of flowers.

[bright music]

- Oh, can you see me up here?

- We see you, Bluebird!

[pants]

- The butterflies aren't following us!

- They're not?

- They must be very tired.

And thirsty.

- What can we do?

- Hmm.

[gasps]

I know!

Here you are butterflies, have a little drink.

[light music]

And here's another little drink!

- A trail of flowers!

What a wonderful idea, Little Field Mouse!

- This way, little butterflies!

- Just keep following the trail!

We're ready, Bluebird!

- Then, we're off.

[bright music]

- This is the last flower.

- But we're not there yet!

[light music]

- Yes, we are!

Look!

- [Little Nutbrown Hare And Little Field Mouse] Ah!

[gasps]

- So much purple!

Oh!

[gasps]

- Goodbye. - Goodbye, little butterflies.

We did it, Little Field Mouse.

- We did it, we did it!

[laughs]

- You certainly did.

- You know, the flowers we picked were lovely,

but this whole field is amazing.

- Yes, it is.

- It's the most amazingest thing I've ever seen!

[laughs]

- You know, I'm never going to pick

so many flowers ever again.

- No, nor me.

After all, they are there for everyone to share.

- Even butterflies.

- Especially butterflies.

- [Narrator] Little Nutbrown Hare had learned something

very special that day.

From then on, he looked at things a little differently.

- Wee!

We've had the most wonderful day!

We picked all these flowers.

- Oh?

How many?

- Too many, because thebutterflies needed them as well.

- Did they?

- Yes.

Flowers are there for everyone to share.

- That's right, my Little Nutbrown Hare.

- And I have something to share with you.

- You do?

- It's a secret.

Guess how much I love you.

- As much as butterflies love flowers?

- As much as butterflies and flowers love each other.

[gasps]

- Wow!

[laughs]

Let's go home.

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Wee!

[laughs]
