[upbeat music]

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Big like you.

- [Narrator] Summer in the meadow had always been

a great time for playing and for finding

good things to eat.

But sometimes good things can be a little hard to find.

[laughing]

[panting]

- Food, food, where are you?

- Come out, come out wherever you are.

- Look! Over here!

- Huh?

- A delicious treat.

- Oh, but where?

- Right here.

- Doesn't look very delicious.

[sniffs]

- It doesn't smell very delicious either.

- Ah-ha!

But pull it out and see what's hidden underneath.

- Hmm.

[grunting]

I'm just not strong enough.

- Don't worry, I'll help you.

[grunting]

- One, two, three, pull.

[grunting]

- Hurray! - Carrots!

- Can we see?

Look!

- It smells delicious!

[chewing]

- It tastes delicious, too!

What is it?

- A carrot.

- Wow, you sure are strong!

- Not like me.

I'm not strong.

- But you are strong

for a Little Nutbrown Hare.

And besides, many little hands make light work.

- Oh!

- You can't catch me!

- Watch me can try!

[panting]

- Over here, more summer treats for you.

[giggling]

[panting]

Sunflower seeds.

- Mmm, I didn't know sunflower seeds came from sunflowers!

- Hold this under here.

I'm going to show you a trick.

Ready?

- Ready.

- Oh!

[giggles]

You're so clever, Big Nutbrown Hare!

How do you know all about summer deliciousness anyway?

- I've seen many seasons come and go.

Each time I learn a bit more.

Come on.

Back to the oak tree for some summer deliciousness.

- You are so lucky to have such a big,

clever, and strong father.

- [sighs] I know.

- What's wrong Little Nutbrown Hare?

- [sighs] I just wonder if I'll

ever be big, strong, and clever, too.

[sighs]

[upbeat music]

[panting]

- Big enough for you Little Field Mouse?

[laughs]

Oh!

Hello there

[squeals]

Hey, it's okay.

- What is it?

- It's just a little grasshopper.

[sighs]

- That was a surprise.

- Goodbye, little green grasshopper.

- I wasn't really scared.

- I was.

- It's okay to feel scared sometimes,

Little Nutbrown Hare.

- Really?

- Yes, it's natural.

When something you've never seen before

gives you a bit of a fright.

And anyhow, everyone has to learn to be brave.

- But how?

- Well, I guess I started by telling myself

I was brave.

- I'm brave, I'm brave!

- I don't know if I am.

- Sure you are, Little Nutbrown Hare.

You just have to find something to be brave about.

- Yay, let's go and be brave together.

- Okay, goodbye, Big Nutbrown Hare.

- Remember be back before sunset,

Little Nutbrown Hare.

[upbeat music]

[mumbles]

- [Field Mouse] Watch me. [laughs]

- Did you see how high that grasshopper jumped?

[grunting]

- Almost as high as I can!

- Woohoo!

- Is that you, Little Gray Squirrel?

Come out and play.

We're trying to be brave.

- Little Gray Squirrel, are you there?

- Boo!

[squealing]

[laughs]

[sighs]

- You can't scare me.

I'm much too brave.

- Hello, brave Field mouse

and Little Nutbrown Hare.

- Hello, that's a big pile of nuts.

- Yes, too many to carry up the tree

all by myself.

- Oh. I know!

We could eat some for you.

So there'd be less to carry.

[laughs]

- Thanks, but no thanks.

If only I could get them to that first branch

I'd be okay.

[sighs]

- Oh, I know how to do it.

- But how?

- Together!

[upbeat music]

- Ready.

Woo, There you are.

[grunts]

Thank you.

- Wow!

Last one!

- Yay!

[grunts]

[sighs]

- All done!

[grunts]

Thank you, Little Field Mouse.

And thank you, Little Nutbrown Hare

for your clever idea.

- Lucky you were big and strong

and brave enough to carry me, too.

- Well, maybe little hands do make light work.

- Oh?

[panting]

- See you later. - Bye!

So how does it feel to be big and strong and clever?

- So good.

Now, I just need to be brave.

And then, I held Little Field Mouse up

and she passed them right up

to Little Gray Squirrel

who was hanging upside down.

[laughs]

- A very clever plan.

- But you know what I want most?

- No, what do you want most,

Little Nutbrown Hare?

- I want to be a Big Nutbrown Hare like you.

- Oh, you will be all in good time.

- But I want to be all grown up now.

- Oh, why the hurry all of a sudden?

- I want to be big so I can be strong

and clever and brave, too.

Just like you.

- Oh, don't be in too much of a rush.

Being little is wonderful, too.

Whee!

[laughs]

Oh.

- Huh?

Is that the little green grasshopper?

- Yes, it looks like our friend has come back

for another visit.

- I'm brave, I'm brave, I'm brave as can be.

Little green grasshoppers don't scare me.

I'm brave!

I'm brave as can be.

Nothing in the meadow can scare me.

- Oh, you are brave even though you are still

my Little Nutbrown Hare.

[grunts]

- Well you know, being brave started

telling yourself you're brave.

- Hmm, that's true.

- Oh, wow!

Look at the grasshopper's doing.

- Oh, it's holding it's food in it's front legs.

I've never noticed that before.

[laughs]

Thank you, Little Nutbrown Hare.

- But what did I do?

- Every day, you teach me how to see

the world through new eyes.

[giggles]

- Little Nutbrown Hare eyes?

[chuckles] [clapping]

- Yes.

- Oh!

Wow!

Did you see how high it jumped?

Watch me!

[laughs]

- Me, too!

Boing, boing--

- [Narrator] On that special summer's day,

Big Nutbrown Hare discovered

that you are never too big

to learn something new.

- That's another thing you're always

showing me, Little Nutbrown Hare.

- What?

- How to laugh.

[laughing loud]

Guess how much I love you.

- How much?

- As high as a grasshopper can jump.

[laughs]

- That is a lot.

[laughing]

Wow!

Well, I love you

as far as a grasshopper can fly.

[both laughs]
