- I Promise.

- [Narrator] It was a pretty autumn morning

and Little Nutbrown Hare was up

before his father, Big Nutbrown Hare.

He was in a big hurry to meet a friend.

- Oh.

Hello, Little Field Mouse.

- I was just coming to see you, Little Nutbrown Hare.

Guess what I'm doing?

- Coming to see me?

- [laughing] No, after that.

- Hmm. I don't know.

- I'm collecting autumn leaves.

Isn't this one pretty?

- Very pretty!

- I was hoping you'd help me find the prettiest ones.

- Oh, I'd love to, Little Field Mouse,

but I've promised Little Redwood Fox

I'd play with her this morning.

- And you can't break a promise.

But you could promise to help me after lunch!

- You mean, a special Little Field Mouse promise?

- [giggles] Yes! Now touch your nose.

Now jump on one leg.

Now scratch the top of your ear with your opposite paw.

[giggles]

No, the other way.

It has to be the other way.

[panting]

and promise.

- I promise.

- Yay!

- [giggles]

- I'm coming to find you Little Nutbrown Hare.

- Huh?

Where did she go?

- Boo!

- [yells loudly]

You keep finding me too quickly.

- Well, hide again. I like finding.

- I like hiding.

- I'll start counting.

One caterpillar.

Two caterpillars.

Three caterpillars.

Coming to find you, Little Nutbrown Hare!

- Boo!

- Boo!

[laughing and giggling]

- Oh, it's time for lunch.

- Why don't you come back afterwards?

We could play all afternoon.

- Oh okay. I'll be back as soon as I can.

I promise

- Meet you back here after your lunch!

- Hello. Meet you back here after your lunch!

- Okay.

Oh, no!

And now, I've promised to collect autumn leaves

with Little Field Mouse

and play with Little Redwood Fox.

- Well if you can't, then be honest.

Explain to one of your friends.

- But which one?

I don't want to make either of them sad.

- Whoever you choose, I'm sure they'll understand

because you can't be in two places at once.

- Aha! Maybe I can try.

- One caterpillar, two caterpillars,

three caterpillars, four caterpillars.

- Ah, wow.

- I'm here.

- Oh, Little Nutbrown Hare.

I was starting to think

you might have forgotten your promise.

- Well, here I am to help you

collect some pretty autumn leaves.

- What do you think of this one?

- Well, it's nice but

I think there might be a better one

where Little Redwood Fox lives.

- On the other side of the meadow?

- Yes, you stay here looking for other leaves

while I go and get it.

It will be quicker if I go on my own.

- Oh, well. Don't be too long.

- Okay!

[panting]

Uh oh.

Oh! You found me.

- Strange. I'm sure I looked behind this tree before.

- Oh, why don't you hide this time and I'll find you?

- Well.

- Don't be too tricky though.

- Of course not.

- One daffodil, two daffodils,

three daffodils.

I'm coming to find you Little Redwood Fox.

- It took longer than I thought, sorry.

But here it is.

- Well, thank you Little Nutbrown Hare.

It's a nice leaf, but well

it's not as nice as the leaf I already have.

- Well, I'm sure there's a better one back over there.

- Oh, but I want to come, too!

Little Nutbrown Hare? Little Nutbrown Hare!

Wait for me!

- Oh!

- Little Nutbrown Hare!

- Oh, I got you another.

- Thank you, Little Nutbrown Hare.

It is a nice leaf but I'd rather play hide-and-boo

like we have been.

- I got confused.

- I thought you were collecting leaves for me.

- Well, I

- Collecting leaves?

No, he's playing hide-and-boo with me.

- Hide-and-boo?

- Yes, but he took so long to find me,

I had to come out and find him.

- So why is he giving you a leaf?

- I don't know. Little Nutbrown Hare?

- Well, you see.

It's just that she, and then she, and then I

I made a mistake.

I forgot about my promise to help Little Field Mouse

find some leaves this afternoon.

- Oh.

- And then I made another promise to play

with Little Redwood Fox this afternoon, too.

- Oh.

- So I've been running around trying to keep both promises.

But I couldn't keep either promise properly.

- Never mind, Little Nutbrown Hare.

- You did your best to fix the mistake.

- But now both games are ruined. Sorry.

- Hmmm. If we could only do leaf finding

and play hide-and-boo at the same time,

you could keep both promises.

- That's it!

Little Redwood Fox is very good at finding things,

she could find some extra pretty autumn leaves.

- For me?

- It would be easy.

- Little Redwood Fox could hide with a leaf and

you and I, Little Field Mouse, could find her.

- Can we hide too?

- Why not? That sounds like fun!

- So what are we waiting for?

[cheerful music]

Thank you little Redwood Fox.

That is a lovely autumn leaf.

- I'll find you a better one than that.

- Boo!

[laughs]

- [Narrator] The three friends spent

the rest of the afternoon playing together.

- [whispering]

- Boo!

- Boo!

- [Narrator] And they all agreed

it was the best afternoon they had ever had.

- Boo!

[laughs]

- What fun!

- The best.

And we're going to do it all again tomorrow!

- I'm proud of you my Little Nutbrown Hare

for trying so hard to keep your promises.

Guess how much I love you.

- You love me more than all the autumn leaves

in Little Field Mouse's collection.

After today, that's a lot!

- And I love you more

more than all the hiding places in the meadow.

- That's really a lot.

Do you promise?

- Yes, I promise.

- No, no.

It has to be a Little Field Mouse kind of promise.

So wiggle you ears.

[laughs]

Now scratch you nose with your paw.
