[playful music]

- [Child] Wind Whistle.

- [Narrator] It was a gusty and blustery,

wild and windy day in the valley.

And Little Nutbrown Hare and his father were out walking,

feeling the wind in their fur

and listening to the breeze in the trees.

[sighs]

[giggles]

- Do you know

what's the most amazing thing about the wind?

- No, tell me.

- You can't see it!

You can feel it, and hear it,

and sometimes [sniffs] even smell it!

But, no matter how hard you look,

you can't see the wind.

- You're absolutely right, Little Nutbrown Hare.

[laughs]

- But you can sure see what it's doing!

[Little Field Mouse exclaims]

- Huh? - Oh, come back.

- What's the matter, Little Field Mouse?

- My pretty flower is being blown away!

- I'll catch it!

- Be home for dinner, Little Nutbrown Hare.

- It was such a pretty flower.

I was wearing it behind my ear

when the wind blew it away!

- Don't worry, it won't get far!

[panting]

[exclaims]

It won't get away now!

[gasps]

Oh dear.

I'm sorry, Little Field Mouse.

- Oh.

Never mind, Little Nutbrown Hare.

I'll find another pretty flower to wear.

- And I'll help you!

[eerie whistling]

What's that whistling noise?

It's coming from, hmm,

over here!

- Look, it's the reeds!

and it's beautiful!

[giggles] It's making my fur tingle!

- How are the reeds making that sound?

- The wind is doing it.

It's blowing through the stems.

- The wind can do that?

- Sure, it's a bit like whistling.

[whistles]

- Oh, how do you do that?

- I just make a whistle shape with my mouth and blow.

[whistles]

[blows raspberry]

[both laughing]

- That's a good try, but it's not quite a whistle!

- Maybe nutbrown hares just can't whistle.

Big Nutbrown Hare will know.

- Nutbrown hares can whistle!

I'll show you.

[whistles]

- Oh, oh, if you can whistle, I can whistle, too!

[puffing]

[blows raspberry]

Oh I still can't do it!

How did you learn to whistle, Big Nutbrown Hare?

- I don't exactly remember.

It was such a long time ago.

- Oh.

- But if you keep trying, I'm sure you'll work it out.

I see you don't have your prettyflower, Little Field Mouse.

- Little Nutbrown Hare is goingto help me find another one.

Let's go! [giggles]

I saw some flowers yesterday near the willow tree.

Let's go there.

- Okay.

[Little Nutbrown Hare puffing]

- Are you still trying to whistle, Little Nutbrown Hare?

- Yes, I'm going to keep trying until I can whistle

as well as you and Big Nutbrown Hare!

[bird chirping]

- [gasps] That was even better than me!

- But that wasn't me.

- Oh?

- That was someone else whistling.

- Look!

It's a Willow Warbler.

- Oh!

I wonder if she can teach me how to whistle.

- Sure!

Just do what she does.

Flap your wings, lift your beak,

ruffle your feathers.

[huffing]

[sighs]

- It's no use.

I don't have a beak or wings or feathers.

- [sighs] That's true,

but don't give up Little Nutbrown Hare.

- Don't worry, I won't.

[bright music]

- Here are the flowers I was talking about!

Now let's see

if I can find one as pretty as my other flower.

[blows raspberry]

- [sighs] I still can't get it.

[whistling]

- Oh, it's Little Grey Squirrel!

That was a great whistle, Little Grey Squirrel!

- [gasps] Oh, pretty flowers.

They're even prettier than the other flowers!

[laughs]

- Can you show me how to whistle?

- Of course, it's easy.

You just put your paw in your mouth like this

and... [whistles]

- You use your paw!

Maybe that's what I've been doing wrong...

[huffing]

[sighs] Whatever it is, I'm still doing it wrong!

- Keep trying, Little Nutbrown Hare.

- I've found just the right flower! [giggles]

What do you think?

- Oh it's beautiful.

- It is pretty.

- Thank you.

- Yes, and thanks for the whistling lesson!

- See you later.

[bright music]

[huffing]

- Oh, this flower is just right!

Whoa!

- [whistles] Oh, what a lovely flower.

- [giggles] Oh, thank you, Otter.

- You can whistle, too, Otter?

- Yes, I can. [whistles]

Would you like me to show you how?

- Yes, please!

- I find it easiest to whistle through my teeth,

like this: [whistles]

You try it.

[huffing]

[giggling]

- [sighs] I don't think my teeth

are as whistley as yours, Otter.

But thanks anyway.

- Oo, you're welcome, Little Nutbrown Hare.

But keep trying, sometimes these things just take time.

- Bye.

- [laughs] Bye.

- It's funny how everybody has a different way of whistling,

but they can all whistle and I can't.

- Don't give up, Little Nutbrown Hare.

You just have to find the way that's right for you.

- I suppose it's a bit like how you didn't give up

until you found the right flower!

- Exactly!

- Let's go and listen to the reeds again.

- Okay.

[eerie whistling]

- Even the plants can whistle, and nobody taught them!

- Oh, that gives me an idea!

There is a way you can whistle!

[exclaims]

[giggles]

Blow through this!

[whistling]

You're right, Little Field Mouse!

[whistles]

You whistle with me!

- Let's all whistle!

[both whistling]

- Huh?

[laughs]

[all whistling]

- [Narrator] And so, as hisfriends whistled along with him,

Little Nutbrown Hare thought

that as much fun as whistling was,

it was even more fun with others.

[bright music]

[gentle music]

- Listen, Big Nutbrown Hare.

I can whistle!

- You can?

[whistles]

- So you can! [laughs]

May I have a look?

I had a reed whistle like this

when I was a Little Nutbrown Hare.

And now I remember how I learned to whistle!

- How?

- Here, play a note on your reed.

[whistles]

Now keep your mouth in that shape and blow.

[whistles]

[gasps]

[whistles]

I can whistle!

[sighs]

Thank you for showing me how.

- You're very welcome.

- Guess how much I love you.

- Hmm, this much?

[whistles]

- No, this much.

[whistles]

[gasps]

- Wow, for someone who just learned how to whistle

[laughs] that certainly is a lot!

[Little Nutbrown Hare exclaims]
