- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Treasure Hunt

- [Narrator] Spring had sprung and Little Nutbrown Hare

was busy discovering tasty treasures

with his father, Big Nutbrown Hare.

- [gasps] Look!

- Yes, Little Nutbrown Hare!

These berries are good to eat.

- Yay! [laughs]

[chews and murmurs]

Delicious!

[leaves rustle]

[giggles] Here, you try.

- Mmm! So it is.

[bee buzzing]

- [gasps] A bee!

[bee buzzing]

What is it doing?

- Ah, it's collecting pollen to make honey!

- [gasps] Honey? Where?

- Follow that bee to find honey.

- Hooray!

- Look, the beehive.

[bees buzzing]

- And honey!

A really tasty treasure!

- Have a taste.

- [laughs] Mmm!

So, where to now?

[cheerful music]

- Here we are.

- Wow!

- Oh, so many flowers.

- Let's go!

Oh, Wee!

[laughs] Daisies!

Will you make me a necklace, Big Nutbrown Hare?

- [sneezes] Pardon me!

Why, certainly.

- Huh?

[Little Field Mouse giggles]

Oh! [laughs]

Hello Little Field Mouse!

- Good day to you Nutbrown Hares.

- Care to come for a walk in the meadow with me?

- I'm already walking in the meadow, see?

Oh?

- How about a treasure hunt instead?

- A treasure hunt?

- Yes, there are lots of treasures in the meadow.

Like your flower! [laughs]

- Or these daisies. [kisses]

- Aw, thank you.

- A treasure for my Little Nutbrown treasure.

- What's that?

- A basket.

- [laughs] We can put our treasures in it!

Bye!

- Goodbye!

- Let's go!

- Yes, let's go!

- Be back before the sun goes down!

- Okay!

[whispers] With a basket full of treasure!

[cheerful music]

[Little Nutbrown Hare and Little Field Mouse laugh]

Oh!

- [giggles] But what are we looking for?

- Whatever we think is treasure.

- [Both] Treasure!

[Little Field Mouse giggles]

- Wow!

- Oh!

- Are you sure that's treasure?

- It's from a bird that can fly.

- Oh!

- [sniffs] Moldy fruit?

- It's what I call treasure.

It's from a special tree that grows apples!

- Oh!

Really?

Let's put them in here.

- Aha!

- I just wonder what kind of treasure

Big Nutbrown Hare would like best of all!

[Little Gray Squirrel cheers]

[gasps] Oh!

Little Gray Squirrel!

- I know what he'd like best of all!

I'll show you! [giggles]

- Huh?

[Little Gray Squirrel laughs and pants]

- Now that is what I call treasure!

- Acorns? And nuts?

Not bad. Not bad at all.

- Hey! Look!

This nut's the same color as me.

- Why do you think you're called Little Nutbrown Hare?

[ all laugh]

- Big Nutbrown Hare will love this treasure! [laughs]

- Come on, there are lots more treasures to find!

- May I join the treasure hunt, too?

- Of course.

- Yay! [laughs]

[leaves rustle]

[cheerful music]

- Oh!

Treasure!

[birds chirp]

Treasure from a bird!

- Wow!

[birds chirping]

- Hello! What are you collecting?

- Treasure for Big Nutbrown Hare!

- [laughs] I'm glad someone treasures

my broken egg shells.

- Oh! Real baby birds hatched from these.

- They did indeed.

- Thanks for your egg shells, Blue Bird!

Race you to the river! [laughs]

- I'll beat you!

Bye, Blue Bird!

- Thanks Blue Bird, bye!

Hey, wait for me!

- Whoa!

First!

- Second!

- [laughs] Lucky last!

[all giggle]

- [Otter] What are you three up to?

- We're on a hunt-

- finding treasure-

- for Big Nutbrown Hare.

- Oh, did you say treasure? Just wait right there.

[water splashes]

- Whoa!

[all laugh]

Wow! Sparkly stones!

- No, it's gold!

That's what I call treasure.

- Oh, well, you- it's not really gold.

But I still think it's special.

- Thank you, Otter.

[Otter grunts]

[water splashes]

- Oh!

- [laughs] Goodbye!

[water splashes]

- [All] [laughing] Bye, Otter!

- Look, the sun's going down.

I'd better get home right away.

- Oh, you're right.

Goodbye!

- Wait!

Little Nutbrown Hare, it's not quite set.

Just one more treasure.

- Uh....

- We might find a really special one!

- Okay, just one more.

Then it's back to Big Nutbrown Hare for me.

- [sniffs] Little Nutbrown Hare!

Hello?

[sniffs] Hello?

- Huh?

[laughs] Hi!

- Oh! You got me again, Little Gray Squirrel.

Have you seen Little Nutbrown Hare lately?

- Yes, with Little Field Mouse, collecting treasures.

- Treasures?

[gasps] Like this lovely brown nut?

Oh! It's the same color as me.

- [laughs] That is exactlywhat Little Nutbrown Hare said.

- Hmm, so they must've gone that way.

- Goodbye!

- Hello, Big Nutbrown Hare.

- Hello, Blue Bird.

Congratulations on your little ones.

- Thank you!

Your little one was here not long ago.

[laughs] He thought my broken egg shells were treasures.

Of all things!

- Ah! Thank you, Blue Bird.

[cheerful music]

[water splashes]

- If you're looking for Little Nutbrown Hare,

just follow the golden trail.

- Thanks, Otter!

[water splashes]

- So the treasure was hidden for one thousand years.

- [Both] Oh!

- That's a very, very long time.

- But finally, the clues led the treasure hunters

to the prize.

A very old cave full of treasure!

- [Both] Oh!

[Big Nutbrown Hare clears throat]

- Oh! Big Nutbrown Hare!

Just wait 'till you see what we've got in here.

Special treasures just for you.

[gasps]

Oh!

[sighs] All your treasures, gone.

- Oh, dear.

[Little Nutbrown Hare sighs]

[Little Field Mouse sighs]

[White Owl gasps]

[laughs] Is this what you're looking for?

- The treasures!

Yay!

We hunted them all for you!

- Yes, thank you my Little Nutbrown Hare.

And best of all, these treasures were

the clues that led me to you, the greatest treasure of all.

- At least it didn't take a thousand years.

[all laugh]

- [Narrator] And so,

as the spring moon rose in the night sky,

the Nutbrown Hares shared the wonderful treasures

they had found.

- I love nuts!

- Me too, but guess what I love more than nuts?

- Hm. Can I have a hint?

- Let's see.

It's little, it's nutbrown, and it hops!

- [gasps] Me!

- Mhm, that's right.

[laughs] I love you more

than all the treasure in the world.

- Oh! [kisses]
