Slide

- [Narrator] It was another beautiful

winter's morning and all was quiet in the meadow.

Except perhaps, for a playful Little

Nutbrown Hare and his father.

[chuckling]

- I know where you are,

Little Nutbrown Hare, because I can hear you!

[chuckling]

And I've got a very squishy, squashy snowball!

[giggling]

I'm going to get you, now!

Huh?

[laughing]

- I got you, Big Nutbrown Hare!

[laughing]

- You did, but now it's my turn!

[giggling]

- Haha, missed me!

[giggling]

- You won't get far!

Wow!

[laughing]

- Oh!

[laughing]

You're funny, Big Nutbrown Hare!

[laughing]

- Just you wait!

I have an even better snowball now.

- You'll have to catch me, first!

[laughing]

[panting]

[chuckling]

[laughing and panting]

- Hello, Little Nutbrown--

- Watch out!

[shrieking]

Oh, I'm sorry Little Field Mouse.

- That's all right, Little Nutbrown Hare.

It was pretty funny!

[laughing]

- It sure was!

[laughing]

- Wheeee!

- Huh?

- Oh?

- Let's go and see who that it.

Oh! - Wow!

- Wow!

- Hello, Little Grey Squirrel.

Hello, Otter.

- Hello!

[giggling]

- What are you doing?

- Woo-hoo!

Such a beautifully sunny day,

I thought I'd get out of my tree and go...

Skating!

[chuckling]

- It's fun!

[giggling]

You should try it!

Woo-hoo!

[giggling]

- How do you do it?

- Well, I just take a step,

then I wiggle my tail on the ice,

and then I'm skating.

- Or you can slide on your tummy,

[chuckling] like me!

Woo-hoo!

- There are lots,

and lots of different ways to skate.

- Shall we?

[giggling]

[struggling]

[giggling]

Yes, this is fun.

[giggling]

Come on Little Nutbrown Hare.

[giggling]

- All right then, watch me!

[struggling]

[laughing]

[gasping]

Wow!

Ugh!

[laughing]

Oh.

[laughing]

- You're funny, Little Nutbrown Hare!

- Ah, [chuckling] yes.

Funny!

But I think I hear

Big Nutbrown Hare calling me.

- I didn't hear anything.

- Me either.

- And then, they laughed at me.

[sniffling]

- Oh, I'm sure they weren't being mean,

Little Nutbrown Hare.

You laughed at me when I fell over,

but you weren't being mean.

- But what if I fall over again?

- I fell over a lot when I first started skating,

but after I practiced for a while, I got better.

I could help you if you like.

- Oh, would you really?

- Ah, of course I would, Little Nutbrown Hare.

But we might wait until

the others have gone home.

- Ah.

- It takes some of us, like you and me,

a bit longer than others to learn how to skate,

but that's all right.

- It is?

- Sure!

Everybody's different,

and we get there with a bit of practice.

Come on.

- Oh.

- It's OK.

- OK.

- Carefully, now.

Just take little steps

until you get a feel for the ice.

- Yes, Little Field Mouse took little steps.

[struggling]

[giggling]

- It's all right.

I've got you.

I've got you.

[struggling]

- Take big breaths.

In [breathing], and out [exhaling].

- In [breathing],

out [exhaling].

In [breathing],

out [exhaling].

- That's it.

Now let's glide.

- Ah!

This is skating?

- This is skating.

That's it.

Yes.

Mhm.

Do you want to try it on your own?

- I think so.

- Just remember, little steps, and big breaths.

[exhaling]

- Little steps and big breaths.

[breathing]

I'm standing!

I'm standing!

[struggling]

[laughing]

We were both funny that time!

[laughing]

- Yes, we were!

[chuckling]

Are you okay?

- Yes, I did a lot better

than the first time I stood on ice!

- And I bet you'll do even better this time!

[breathing]

- Little steps, little steps.

[struggling]

I'm skating!

I'm skating!

- You are, Little Nutbrown Hare!

You certainly are.

[laughing]

- [Little Nutbrown Hare] Good morning, skaters!

- Good morning, Little Nutbrown Hare!

[gasping]

- Watch me! I've been practicing.

[breathing]

[struggling]

- Wow!

- Well done, Little Nutbrown Hare!

Well done.

[laughing]

- You have been practicing!

- Watch me do two feet!

Look, I'm doing it!

[struggling]

Ugh.

[gasping]

[giggling]

Well that was pretty funny, wasn't it?

[laughing]

But I didn't really mean to do that.

I was just trying to skate the way you do.

- You don't have to skate like us,

Little Nutbrown Hare.

- Yes, you've got your own way of skating!

- Just like I've got my own way of skating.

[chuckling]

- Come on, let's try again.

- Can you show us how you do it?

- You want to know how to skate like me?

- Yes! - Please.

- Well, it takes a bit of practice,

but I'm sure you'll get good at it.

[struggling]

And after I showed them how to skate like me,

they showed me how to skate like them.

[chuckling]

- What a good idea.

- This is how Little Grey Squirrel skates,

with his big tail waving.

[chuckling]

And this is how Little Field Mouse skates.

She's very good.

And this is how Otter skates.

[struggling]

But it's very cold on your tummy.

[laughing]

- I'm sure it would be.

- And this is how I skate.

[laughing]

Guess how much I love you.

[giggling]

- How much?

- All the way from here...

[struggling]

to all the way over here!

[laughing]

- Guess how much I love you.

All the way from here...

[struggling]

to way over here,

and back again, and again and again, and again

until we can't skate any more!

- And that is a very long way.
