- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Winter Coat

and the last few flakes of a snowfall

were gently fluttering down.

Little Nutbrown Hare stretched and yawned

- [yawns] Ah.

- And got a rather chilly surprise.

Brrrr.

[panting]

- Big Nutbrown Hare!

[snoring]

- Mm?

- If snowflakes are so cold,

why can't I feel them on my fur?

Eh, eh, eh, eh.

- Well, that's because you've got a warm winter coat.

- Where?

- [giggles] Here and here. [giggling]

And here!

- [laughs] That tickles! [giggling]

- But do you notice how your fur

is much thicker now than it was in summer?

- Oh? Where did it all come from?

- [giggles] It grew during autumn

- See?

I've got a winter coat, too.

It's how nutbrown hares keep warm

when the weather turns cold.

That and cuddles!

- [giggles]

[gasps] I've got to tell Little Field Mouse

about my winter coat!

[panting]

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

[panting]

Little Field Mouse!

Come and see this!

- Aaahh.

Yes, Little Nutbrown Hare?

What do you want to show me?

- This!

Isn't it warm?

- Yes, your cuddles always are.

[giggles]

But it's especially warm now,

because I've got a winter coat!

Look...

I grew it over autumn!

- Did you?

[giggles]

I grew a winter coat, too.

I guess everyone with fur does.

- So you won't feel this!

Hah! [giggles]

- No, because it missed me!

Ha-ha.

- See?

Thanks to my winter coat,

I didn't feel a thing!

But not everyone has a furry winter coat.

- You mean, like butterflies?

- Yes and birds.

- And fish!

- How do they keep warm in winter?

Hm.

Do you think they might be cold?

- I don't know.

[gasps]

Maybe we could make them a winter coat!

[placid music]

- Out of what?

- I know! [panting]

Moss!

Mmmm.

My moss blanket keeps me very warm at night.

[panting]

- Here's some moss!

You're right, it's soft and thick.

Just like my fur!

- This is going to make a great winter coat!

- Butterflies definitely must need winter coats.

- But we've only got one winter coat.

- Well, if they like it we can make lots of little ones.

Now where are they all?

- There were lots of them

on the other side this hill last summer.

Ooh!

That's a long way down.

- I know, but lots of cold little butterflies need us,

Little Field Mouse.

- You're right.

We've got to help them.

- Woohooooo! - Whoah!

Weeeee! - Whoah!

[chattering and shouting]

Oh.

- This is where I saw all the butterflies last summer.

- Well, there don't seem to be any here now.

- Wait!

What's that?

- Surprise!

- Waaahh! - Waaahh!

- You did not know it was me, did you?

[giggles]

- No, we thought you were a butterfly.

- You won't find any butterflies.

They all flew away in autumn.

I think they went somewhere warmer.

- Oh.

- Thank you for letting us know.

- Do you need a coat?

- No, thank you.

I have my own winter coat.

It's how I keep warm in this snow.

- I'm glad butterflies and foxes

have a way of keeping warm in winter.

But maybe birds need winter coats!

Goodbye! - Goodbye!

[joyful music]

[magical sounds]

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Hmm.

There are no birds in the trees.

- And none in the sky.

- I wonder if they've flown

somewhere warmer with the butterflies.

- That would be a big pity,

because look at what they are missing.

Did you ever see anything prettier?

- Ooh.

I know a bird who hasn't flown away for the winter.

Little White Owl! - Little White Owl!

[panting]

- There's Little White Owl's tree!

- She should be home at this time of day.

Come on!

- Ow!

This vine is prickly!

- But we've got to get through!

Little White Owl could be freezing cold.

- We can't squeeze through these prickles,

especially with the winter coat.

It's too big. - Oh!

- But maybe...

Huh, ahh.

Huh, ahh.

It works!

I can't feel the prickles.

- Yah!

This winter coat is even more useful

than our winter coats! [giggles]

- I bet Little White Owl will think so, too.

[laughing]

[sleeping noises]

- Should we wake her?

- If I was very, very cold,

I wouldn't mind being woken to get a nice warm winter coat.

- Little White Owl!

[sleeping noises]

Little White Owl!

[sleeping noises]

- Aah.

Whoooo is there?

- It's Little Nutbrown Hare and Little Field Mouse!

- [yawns] I am much too sleepy

to tell you a story today.

[yawns]

- We don't want a story.

- We've come to give you a warm winter coat

if you need one.

- That's kind of you,

but I have my own winter coat of thick feathers.

And I sleep more in winter,

so I don't need to go out in the cold so much.

[yawns]

- Do you know any other birds that might need a winter coat?

[sleeping noises]

- Little White Owl!

Do you know any other birds?

- Hmm?

What?

No, all the other birds have flown somewhere warm,

or they have their own winter coats.

[yawns]

But thank you, anyway.

[sleeping noises]

- Oh, Little Nutbrown Hare!

We're seeing so much of the valley today!

And all of it is beautiful!

[giggles]

- Oooh, the river is frozen.

The fish in there must need winter coats!

[placid music]

- Uh oh.

We're going to get covered in snow!

- Wait a minute.

Huh, ah.

Ta daa!

A snow shelter!

- Ooh. [giggles]

- You're right, Little Field Mouse.

Winter is beautiful!

- I think it's stopped.

- Huh, ah.

We've lost the river.

It's hidden under all that snow!

- How will we ever help the fish now?

[laughter]

Oh! - Hello, you two.

[giggles]

- Hello, Otter!

We're trying to find the river,

but it's completely covered in snow.

[giggles]

- Taa-daaa!

- Ooh. - Ooh.

- Oh, it's all right.

It's safe for you to walk on.

[splashing]

- Aahh. - Eek!

- What are you looking for?

- We have a winter coat for the fish.

- So they can stay warm in the cold river.

- Oh. [laughs]

Fish are all right in winter.

[giggles] See?

They just swim very deep where the water is warmer.

- So, none of them needs a winter coat?

- No. [giggles]

- Oh.

- Do you need a winter coat?

- Ooh.

Oh, no thank you.

[giggles]

I've got my own.

[giggles]

But thanks for thinking of me.

[giggles]

- That's all right!

Bye.

[calm music]

- And we tried to give it to butterflies

and birds and fish.

But no-one needed our winter coat.

- Do you know someone who needs it?

- Hmmmm.

Yes.

Aahhh.

Me!

You two have been so busy thinking of others

you haven't had time for lunch.

So, now it's my turn to think of you

and give you a little picnic.

- A picnic blanket!

I always knew this winter coat was a good idea!

[laughing]

[joyful music]

- [Narrator] Later that evening

as the whiteness of the day gave way to deeper colors

and darker shadows.

Big Nutbrown Hare was tucking Little Nutbrown Hare into bed.

- Guess how much I love you.

- I can't guess.

You'll have to tell me.

- As much as the warmest winter blanket!

- Well, I love you as much

as the warmest winter hug.

And here it is!

Oohhh. - Oohhh.

[giggling]
