[gentle music]

Four Seasons.

- [Narrator] Autumn had settled into the valley,

and the leaves were every shade of red,

orange, purple, and gold.

Little Nutbrown Hare was awake

and ready to greet the new day.

- Woohoo!

- [Narrator] But the new day

brought him a big surprise. [shivering]

[mysterious music]

- Where are you going?

- Back to bed.

[shivers] It's cold out here.

[sniffing]

- Hmm, you're right.

Hmm, but what if there's something special about today,

and you miss out by spending it all in bed?

- Special?

Is there something special about today?

- They're might be.

The only way to find out is to go out there

and make the most of the day.

- Okay!

- Well, [shivers] how will we know

when we found the special thing?

- After we've made the most of the day, I suppose.

- But how do we make the most of a cold day like this?

- Hmm.

We could run all the way over to the sycamore tree.

That would warm us up.

- [Little Field Mouse] Hmm.

- There's some very colorful autumn leaves there

for your leaf collection.

- Autumn leaves?

[panting]

Come on, are we going to make the most of this day or not?

[giggling]

[upbeat playful music]

- I'm going to be first to the sycamore tree.

- Not if you go that way.

I know a shortcut.

[breathing heavily]

[giggling]

- [Both] It's a tie.

[sighs]

[breathing heavily]

- Are you warm enough now?

- I'm so hot.

Oh, that's nice.

Thank you, Little Nutbrown Hare.

[giggles]

We might find the prettiest leaf ever here.

That would be an extra special thing.

Whoa!

Don't fan too hard!

[mysterious music]

- I didn't, it was the wind.

[Little Field Mouse squeaking]

Ah, no pretty leaves to collect now.

There's nothing very special about that.

- Nevermind, Little Field Mouse.

Maybe this wind will bring the special part of today.

- Do you think so?

- Let's make the most of this and find out.

- Yes, let's!

Hmm, Little Nutbrown Hare?

- Yes?

- How do we make the most of the wind?

- Hmm.

Look!

I'll get it.

- Let me!

Let's chase it again.

[giggling]

We can't get them high enough to chase.

- I think I know who can.

Okay.

[curious music]

- So you want me to throw these off my tree?

- Yes, please, Little Grey Squirrel.

- From the very top.

- Hmm, all right.

Be ready when I get up there.

- We will be!

[panting]

When he climbs that high, it makes my tummy go all wibbily.

- Don't worry, Little Grey Squirrel is made

for climbing up high trees.

- I know, but my tummy isn't made for watching him.

[giggles]

- Are you ready?

- [Both] Ready!

- Set.

- [Both] Set!

- Are you sure you're ready?

- He's not going to let the seeds go right away, is he?

- [laughs] He always likes to have a bit of fun.

Still ready!

- And we're still set!

- On the count of three.

One.

Two.

Oh, I forgot.

What comes after two?

[sighs]

- [Both] Three!

- Woohoo!

[gasps]

See, you weren't ready after all. [giggles]

[giggling]

Have fun!

- We will.

Thanks for helping us.

- Look, mine's going even higher.

- Mine too, come on.

[giggling]

[lively jaunty music]

- That was fun! [panting]

- Let's do it again. [thunder rumbling]

- [Both] Huh?

- What's happened to the wind?

- It's stopped.

Oh, I really wanted to chase these seeds again,

but now the wind [raindrop plops]

has turned to rain!

- Well, maybe.

- This'll be the special part of the day?

- [giggles] Yes, and we...

- Should make the most of it!

- We should get under cover.

[breathing heavily] [giggling]

[fun light piano music]

- My seed!

It's floating!

- Aw, let's try my seed.

[giggling]

Ooh. - Wow.

Let's do it again!

- Wait.

Look.

- [gasps] A dragonfly!

- It's so pretty.

- It likes the water.

- Me too.

[imitating dragonfly buzzing]

I'm a dragonfly!

Oh, whoa, oh!

[giggles] Oopsie.

- [giggles] That littledragonfly gave you a big fright.

- Maybe another beautiful dragonfly

will visit the little pond.

I could bring Big Nutbrown Hare and show him!

- Oh, look, the rain's stopping.

- But we need the rain to keep our pool from going away.

- Or we could make the most of the sunshine.

- But how?

- Well, the sun's shining, so...

- Things will get warmer.

- Then things will dry out.

- Like autumn leaves.

We could collect them like we planned to this morning.

[gasps]

- And there's no wind!

So, they won't blow away.

That'd be extra, extra special!

- I'll get to the sycamore tree first this time!

[panting] [fun jaunty music]

[giggling]

- [Little Field Mouse] It's a tie again!

- [Narrator] By the time the two friends arrived

at the sycamore tree, the warm autumn sun

had dried up all the wet leaves.

So they spent the rest of the afternoon having fun together

collecting all the pretty autumn colors.

- Look at this one!

- What about this one?

- That's a keeper.

- Oh, wow, look at this one!

- Let me see.

How lovely.

And I brought back this leaf just for you,

Big Nutbrown Hare.

- Oh, thank you, it's lovely.

- And the next time it rains,

I'm going to show you a pool of rainwater

where we saw a beautiful dragonfly.

- Oh, that must have been special.

- Yes, I suppose it was.

That must have been the special thing about today,

when it rained.

- Really?

- Yes, but so was getting warm racing Little Field Mouse

to the sycamore tree.

And so was collecting the autumn leaves

with Little Field Mouse when the sun came out.

[sighs]

- What's the matter?

- I can't decide which part of today

was the really special part.

- Oh, [giggles] that's easy.

- It is?

- All those things, hmm?

The cold, the wind, the rain, and the sun, all in one day.

It was all really special.

- Oh!

- But not just because of the changing weather.

- No?

- It was all special because you found a way

to make the most of every moment.

- We did!

Every single moment.

- Guess how much I love you.

- Hmm, more than all the cold and the sun

and the wind and the rain together?

- More than all the special moments that go with them.

And there's one more special thing.

- Oh, what's that?

- [laughs] Bedtime!

- Oh, bedtime's not special.

- Oh?

Well, then here's my special tickle finger.

[laughing]

Tickle, tickle, tickle. - I'm in bed, I am!
