- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Where does the river go?

- [Narrator] One hot hazy summer's day,

Little Nutbrown Hare was trying to keep cool

down by the stream with his father, Big Nutbrown Hare.

[Big Nutbrown Hare grunts]

[rock splashing]

- Hooray! Hoo-hoo!

[Big Nutbrown Hare giggles]

- My turn! [gasps]

[grunts]

[water splashes]

Ooh!

- Ooh! [laughs]

At least we're cool now.

- [sighs] But why didn't my stone skip like yours?

- Try this flat one.

[giggles]

- That's it, hm, hm, bend your knees [giggles]

Arm back,

down low,

and throw!

[rock splashes on water]

- [gasps] Yay!

Oh, I get it now!

Bend your knees, arm back,

down low and throw!

[rock splashes on water]

Yes, hooray! - Yes, woo-hoo!

That's it, woo-hoo!

- Ah, oops,

it sunk.

Hmm.

Now watch this stick.

Up on your tippy toes,

lift up your nose,

ears right back and off it goes!

Ha ha!

It floats!

- [laughs] Let me try.

Up on your tippy toes,

lift up your nose.

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Hey!

Where's my stick going?

- Let's find out.

I'll race you!

[grunts]

[water splashes] [lively music]

[Little Nutbrown Hare giggles]

[Little Nutbrown Hare panting]

- Look, there's my stick.

The one with the green leaf, and it's winning!

- [laughs] Mine's catching up now!

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Go stick!

- [Big Nutbrown Hare] There they are.

Woo-hoo, go stick!

Ah, wait a minute, wait, where's my stick?

Where?

Oh, woo-hoo, - Woo-hoo!

- There it is, oh, it's getting faster,

it's getting faster! - Where are they?

- I'm going to--

- I don't see them! - Oh, it's gone.

- There they are.

Look at my stick go!

It's winning the race!

- Mine's not far behind!

Go stick, go!

[Otter splashes water]

- And my, my stick's gone!

Hey, Otter!

Hey, come back with my stick!

- [Otter] [giggles] You'll have to catch me first!

[giggles]

- [giggles] Ooh, we'll catch you, Otter.

- Come on, let's catch him! [panting]

[playful piano music]

[Little Nutbrown Hare panting]

[Big Nutbrown Hare laughing]

[Little Nutbrown Hare giggling]

- [giggles] You can't catch me. [laughs]

- Yes, we will.

- Oh, hello butterflies!

- Watch out Big Nutbrown Hare!

- Whoa! [giggles]

- [giggles] That was close.

[Big Nutbrown Hare sighs]

- Wow, look how big the stream is!

- The stream's become a river.

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] A big, wide river!

- [Big Nutbrown Hare] Hooray, there's your stick!

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] My stick, hooray!

- [Big Nutbrown Hare] Ooh, and mine!

[water splashes]

[Otter giggles]

- Quick, let's catch him!

- [Big Nutbrown Hare] [panting] Come on! [panting]

- [gurgles water] It's all yours now!

Heh, heh, I'm off. [giggles]

[water splashes]

- Goodbye Otter!

There go our sticks, and mine's still winning!

- [Big Nutbrown Hare] Mine's not far behind.

Ooh, and now it's ahead!

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Ooh!

But not for long!

Go stick, you're a winner, go!

- Oh, come on stick!

Come on, you can do it!

[water rushing]

- [panting] Ooh, look!

Wow!

[birds chirping]

Where does the river end?

- Let's keep going and find out!

- Yes, let's! [giggles]

[Little Nutbrown Hare panting]

[bright music]

Oh no, we can't get past.

[frog croaks]

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Huh?

[frog croaking]

- [giggles] Yes, we can!

Croak! [giggles]

Thanks little green frog! [grunts]

Croak!

- [giggles] Croak!

Croak! [grunts]

- [sighs] It's too far to jump.

- Not for me.

Come on up. [grunts]

- Let's go, Big Nutbrown Frog! [giggles]

- Croak! [giggles]

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] [giggles] Woo-hoo, whoa!

- Ooh, hold on tight Little Nutbrown Hare. [giggles]

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] [squeals] Now, after those sticks!

[river rushing]

[upbeat music]

Where are they?

- [Big Nutbrown Hare] I can't see them.

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Oh no, have we lost them?

[cheerful music]

- Oh, hello!

- Hello, Blue Bird!

Can you see our sticks?

- [Blue Bird] They went that way.

I'll have a look.

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] And can you see which one

is winning?

Ah, Blue Bird can fly so high.

- I couldn't see any sticks.

- Oh, we have lost them.

- But I did see Little Field Mouse just up ahead.

- [gasps] Little Field Mouse!

Maybe she's seen them.

Let's go!

[Big Nutbrown Hare panting]

[upbeat music]

- [Little Field Mouse] La, la, la, la, la.

Hello!

- Don't fall into the river.

- Okay, Blue Bird.

I'll be careful.

- Well, I better get back to my nest.

Have fun.

- Bye-bye, Blue Bird.

- La, la, la, la, la. [grunts]

Come on, log!

Why won't you budge?

[Big Nutbrown Hare giggles] [Little Nutbrown Hare giggles]

[Little Field Mouse grunting]

- Hello, Little Field Mouse!

What are you doing?

- Trying to get this log unstuck but I'm too light.

- But why?

- So we can go for a ride! [giggles]

- Yay!

I'll help. [grunting]

Want to come for a ride?

We might catch our sticks.

- What a fine idea! [grunts]

Whoa! [laughing]

[Little Nutbrown Hare giggles] [Little Field Mouse giggles]

- Bend down low.

- Watch out below.

- And...

- [All] Go, go, go! [laughing]

Wee!

Woo-hoo!

A river ride!

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] This is fun!

[water splashes]

[cheerful piano music]

- [Big Nutbrown Hare] He-hee!

[Little Field Mouse giggles]

[waterfall rushing]

- [Little Field Mouse] Whoa!

- Ooh, oh oh!

A waterfall!

What now?

- [Little Field Mouse] Here we go!

- Woo, hold on tight!

Wee-hee-hee!

[All squeal] [All giggle]

- Hey, here are our sticks!

- [giggles] And here am I!

- So you are, hello Otter! [splashes water]

- [giggles] Ooh! [splashes water]

[Little Field Mouse giggles]

[Otter splashing] [Otter giggling]

- Ah, all together and nice and cool

in this lovely, deep blue pool! [splashes feet]

- I think we both won the race!

- [giggles] We did.

[relaxing music] [Little Nutbrown Hare sighs]

Ah, Big Nutbrown Hare?

- Yes, Little Nutbrown Hare.

- I think our sticks brought us

to a really nice place.

- Ah, I think you're right.

[Little Field Mouse giggling] [Otter giggling]

- So is this the end of the river?

- Let's see, shall we?

- Okay!

[quirky music]

[Little Nutbrown Hare grunts]

- Have a look.

- Wow!

It goes all the way to the big, blue sea!

- [Big Nutbrown Hare] That's right, Little Nutbrown Hare.

From little things,

big things grow.

- Just like me!

- [chuckles] Yes, just like you.

So, shall we follow it?

- Mmm, it does look beautiful.

- [Narrator] Little Nutbrown Hare thought about visiting

the big, blue sea.

[Little Field Mouse giggling] [Otter giggling]

But he and his friends had found the perfect way

to stay cool on that hot, hazy summer's day.

- Maybe another day. [sighs]

But hey, guess how much I love you?

- Hmm, how much?

- As much as the river is long and wide and deep.

And, as much as this big splash,

watch out below!

Woo-hoo! [water splashes]

[Little Field Mouse giggling] [Otter giggling]

- Ooh, ooh,

call that a splash?

[lighthearted instrumental music]

Yee-haw! [water splashes]

[All giggle]

- [Little Field Mouse] My turn next!

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] You'll have to beat me

to the top first!
