The story of Grizzly Adams is big, powerful, beautiful.

They called me magic.

And me and my burrow number seven been traips and these slopes and valleys for a long spell.

So I know the story from the beginning.

My friend Adams was accused of a crime he didn't commit.

So he escaped into the mountains, leaving behind the only life that he ever knew.

Now that wilderness out there ain't no place for a green horn.

And his chances of surviving were mighty slim.

Where no time at all for he was beaten down, bragged, nearly star-heart.

Well, how about then he come upon a Grizzly Bear cub all alone and helpless.

Adams knew that little critter couldn't survive without his help, so he started right down that cliff, risking his own life to save it.

Now that cub took to Adams right off.

And that was when he discovered he had a special kind of way with animals.

They just come right up to him like he was a natural part of the wilderness.

But that bear cub, he was extra special.

As he grody became the best friend Adams ever had and together they became a legend.

There's a world where we don't have to run away.

There's a time for our own living free and holy in majesty.

Take me home.

Take me home.

Take me home.

Now I reckon the best time of year for a mountain man is when old mother nature wakes up after sleeping the winter away.

You might say she springs to life.

It's then she pours out a flood of energy and paints the wilderness with such beauty it makes a fellow feel like.

If he ain't careful he'll bump his head on the cloud.

There's one spring I remember to keep you there when my friend Adams invited young Robbie Cartman to spend Easter with him.

Now I ain't much for celebrating holidays I feel it's mostly an excuse for not working with.

To Adams Easter something special.

He works like a beaver preparing to spread for Easter Sunday that I can taste all winter while I'm building up a monster appetite.

And the thing I like best is them delicious honey cakes he always makes.

That's why we was out looking for honey on that early good Friday morning.

And found the first honeycomb was it was full angry beans.

He had him. I got one over here with no bead.

There she is right up there and there you be a buzz.

Now just give me a hand and I'll get up there and get it.

Don't climb up there Jack we'll just knock it down to stick.

And spread honey all over everything now what's Easter going to be like without those great honey cakes here.

Just give me a hand here we go.

Easy. Robbie open that bag up in case we have to drop that honeycomb down in there.

Might have some bees to deal with. Easy now.

I got it.

There's a bee by your nose.

Get off me.

What the hell?

What the hell?

The sack. The sack. Give me the sack.

Let me help you up.

Robbie you get number seven. Come on, Ben.

What's so funny?

It looks like you got a wet rudder bag of grown out of your face.

There weren't but one bee up there and he got me right on the nose.

You got the honey? Yeah.

Mr Adams look.

I saw a floppy rabbit I thought.

It wouldn't surprise me if you did Robbie.

Well what in tarnation is that? Is that one of your paws Robbie?

No sir never seen it before.

I wonder where it came from. Never mind where she came from.

Just show us where she's going.

Finally found her paw.

Run for a ride.

There's no need for that. That's my friend Ben.

Paw, paw.

Andy?

Man said to grizzly is his friend. I don't see anybody else running.

Weren't he called a bear?

Ben for Benjamin Franklin.

I'm Andy. Friend rejects him.

Howdy Andy. How'd you like to pet Ben?

It's up to you son. He didn't ask me.

Yes sir.

Come on down here Ben.

I'm James Adams.

Till Bradley. Most folks call me Brad.

This is my good friend Mad Jack. Robbie Cartman.

Ben?

Andy'd like to say hello to you. Sit down.

Nice and easy Andy. That's your boy.

Her grizzlies can't be tamed.

He's not tamed Brad. I just known him since he was a cub.

Andy? Let her go find Betsy before she loses herself again.

Chef huh. I'll go with you Andy.

Young man. You gotta be a prize green horn.

Don't you know better than to bring your cow up here into this wilderness?

Oh that's nothing. I got a lamb and a you and a bull and a parcel of chickens not including the horses.

You have?

You and your boy starting to farm up here?

Started is right. The only thing I need is a cabin, a house and a barn.

We're a you and your son staying now. We built a lead to while we figure out if this is the right place for us.

Ha! We got her but she woke her many closer. He had a beer.

Coming son. I got a feeling Betsy is going to give us our milk tonight.

Nice young fella.

Thanks for your help Robbie.

Yes you are.

My cabin is just north of here. I must spend Easter Sunday with it.

Can we pass?

I say amen to that.

We'll be looking for you.

See you Sunday.

Let's get moving son.

We'll have maybe we'll make some friends.

I think maybe we have.

Now Brad had no way of knowing it at the time.

That storm of boiling up so mean and angry looking.

Getting all of his animals mighty.

And them clouds was carrying a heap of misery to add to the trouble spread in our already hands.

All that bull could think about was getting away from there and fast.

And twixt the fire and the noise the other animals were just as anxious to head out for other parts that weren't so scary.

Did you put out the cook bar son?

Yes sir.

Bring Betsy.

Now wait.

Come on. What's the matter with you?

What do you reckon that is?

Looks like that lightning started to fire.

The things that trees are wetter won't spread far.

Let's go have ourselves a look. Come on Ben.

Stop! Stop! Stay back! There's gunpowder there.

Get out Ben!

Stay back Kenny!

Now you stay here.

Get that wheel righty.

We was all trying as hard as we could to beat out that fire and save at least some of Brad's managed possessions because we realized that right here was all they had in the world.

But them flames was mighty stubborn.

By the time they were slick Brad didn't have much left except the wagon which luckily was damaged less than we thought.

Well, it looked like the rest of it is always.

It would have all been a few folks hadn't come. I appreciate it.

Pa, we still got the animals.

You mean chickens? The rest of them probably headed back to Missouri not that I'm blaming us.

I wouldn't say that Brad. You see the horses off over there.

Oh good.

Back to lower for that. At least we won't have to pull the wagon any.

Jack, why don't you take Robbie and see what kind of a trade you can find over to the east. Brad and I are going to go over to the west slope. We'll help you folks find your stock.

That bull of mine is a mite honry. If you run into it you get a wide berth.

Well, it won't be no trouble. I've been around wild critters all my life. Come on Robbie.

You take care of the chickens and pets these, huh?

Come on Ben, we're going to need your help.

Alright.

Shiffl's sorry for those Bradleys. They lost nearly everything. It's so close to Easter too.

Yeah. Good Friday. Been too good to them. Robbie.

Look at that brush. That's the bull. Alright. I need me a cape.

Cape. But four.

Well that's the way they handle them on recruiters down in Mexico.

You better get up on that tree.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to make that bull crawl to me and lick my hand.

Goro. Goro. That there is a spandage for bull. Mr. Giant.

The bull is from Missouri. Goro.

See there Robbie? I got the critter scared of me. Goro. Goro.

I'm going to have to go in and get him.

Oh.

Oh.

Just get the deer.

Mr. Jack.

Oh.

Stop. Stop.

Oh.

Well.

Stop. Easy now. Stop, I say.

What? What?

Get down.

Now. Now. Now. Now. Look here, Pore. We got it.

We can eat it.

No.

No.

No.

Well. You found it.

Whoa.

Robbie?

Robbie? You stay away from that critter.

That's all right, boy.

Just got Riles and Mr. Jack's right over.

Robbie?

It's all right, Mr. Jack. I know how to handle bulls.

We got one on our farm.

Well, he's right peaceful now, you see. I got him for a while.

No.

No.

No.

No.

You're looking at me.

It's all right.

You just got Riles here, Mr. Jack's right under where it didn't you?

Yeah.

Come on.

That's good.

Well, Brad's luck was about to change a little for the veteran, with some help from Adams and Bennett.

Well, there you are, Brad.

Right.

Cleo, am I glad to see you? You too, little lamb.

Thank you, Ben.

Somebody find looking at you, have a breath.

My wife raised her.

You won a lot of blue ribbons for Rachel, didn't you, girl?

You'd like Rachel Adams.

She had a feeling for animals like you have.

You mind me, how'd school happen?

The landy and I were in town, a flash flood hit her farm.

Rachel was drowned trying to save what Lou had.

I'm sorry.

I saw the animals I got and a few sticks of furniture that wasn't much left.

Didn't seem right to rebuild the farm.

So Andy and I joined the wagon train for Oregon.

Well, how'd you end up up here?

Andy got sick, had to, uh, drop out of the train.

I've known nothing but flatlands all my life.

These mountains look so peaceful.

I...

I told you to find me high or low.

Tell everybody I strove one time or another.

Yeah.

I'm the only one I know has a full time.

I think the old man upstairs is trying to tell me I'm not cut out to be a farmer.

Well, maybe you just picked the wrong spot.

A long nice land down this valley.

Robbie Cartman and his party have a real fine farm.

Now, I think we best move on as soon as I get the wagon fixed.

Well, we talked about it later, Brad.

Since you and Andy, we spent an Easter with us once you move in over to Kevin

and we'll help you sort your things up.

Adam's was mighty concerned about that big problem.

No, I'm not Brad.

Like where he was at in life, where he was ahead.

But most of all, what was best for that son that Brad loved so much?

Adam's figured that somehow he had to help, but right then we was about to have some visitors.

Are you Adam's?

My brother and my friend, Nakoma.

Yes, I am.

I am Watani, chief of the Kootenai tribe.

Adam's.

His boy is Kootenai, all right, but he ain't cheap.

Chief's a friend of mine, and his name's.

Silver Fire!

Well, old friend, the sight of you brightens my day.

My old friend, mighty wind.

You're no longer the chief?

As is the custom.

It was time for my son to become chief.

I am now shaman, sage of our tribe.

Cool.

Well, let's find a place out of the wind and talk of old combat.

Later, my friend.

We are here on a matter of great service to our people.

It is so.

Nakoma has told us of your wondrous way for healing animals.

And the spirit of the great bear tells us that it's true.

And Nakoma has told me of you and of your people.

Then you know the hock is sacred to us.

Yes, I know.

Is there anything wrong?

That is why we are here.

Our secret hock will not fly.

I have done everything I can.

But it remains in the nest.

We prepare for its life.

Will you help us?

I'll help you if I can.

Where's the hock now?

On the side of the cliff.

It will be difficult to reach.

But my braves and I will help you.

Let's go.

Well, we found the secret hock, all right.

But from the looks of things,

Adams had a mighty big problem on his hands trying to climb down that cliff.

Bring the hock back up.

A man could be slipped away in a hurry if he was to fall into that raging river down there.

No.

Why is Mr. Adams tying the old brown band?

Well, because the 600 pound bear makes a good anchor.

Boy, that's a fur piece down there, ain't it?

How come the hock gets so sacred to him, Mr. Jack?

Well, it's a little bit too hard to find.

I don't know.

Well, because of the cutting eye or a mountain tribe, they live up close to the sky like the hock.

I've never been to their village.

Well, I've been there once or twice.

They live away back up in the high peaks.

They come down to the lowlands in the wintertime where it's warm and then go back up in the spring.

Right now they're camped by the river.

Waiting for the snow to melt.

Is the hot go with them?

Of course.

Just like your prayers go with you.

To the cutting eye.

That hock is the spirit of everything good and graceful.

See, he doesn't have it.

Now, I knew Adams was the best it was, but he was a doer.

And nothing heard nobody could have stopped him from going down there after that hock.

But I've got to admit my heart was beating a little faster as he picked his way real,

gentle like, on that steep cliff.

And I'm sure everyone else who was a helping and a watching person think of him the same way I was.

That was it.

If anything went wrong, my friend Adams was a goner for sure.

Just a little bit further now, Adam.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

Hi, Hock.

No!

You've got a lot of people worried about you up there.

Easy does it now, girl.

No!

No!

The wings look all right.

You've got an infection in your feet.

You're going to be just fine.

I'm going to put you in my pouch.

Nice and easy now.

There you go.

All right.

Okay, Brad.

Up we come.

All right, here we go.

Easy.

All right.

All right.

Hang on. We'll get you out.

Hurry.

Hold on, Adam!

Jack, help me inside the rope.

I'll have you up soon, my friend.

Adam!

Take a look for your foot!

Easy, pal.

Come on down, Adam.

Just move a longer.

Come on!

I'm almost there, Adam.

Hold on.

All right.

All right.

Down, Andy.

Lift your foot up.

That's got it. All right.

All right, pause down.

All right.

All right.

Keep calm. That was scary.

Have you ever heard of bumble

with the time?

No.

It is bad.

She's got a very high fever.

The infections in both of your feet.

The reason she didn't fight, I guess you can't hurt, she.

I'd like to take her back to my cabin to the parking lot.

The sacred hawk must fly to welcome the spring.

A cruel wind is a bad fortune.

Well, this is my dream.

I understand the silver pass.

A real real friend.

Adam will fix up that hawk real good, what?

I taught him everything he knows.

His knowledge came from you.

Well, part of him.

He's a terrible green horn when he first comes to these mountains.

Then you also might help.

Tomorrow I will do the hawk dance.

Perhaps you will join me in seeking favor with the spirit.

Oh, I'd be glad to.

But the ordeal is long and difficult.

And you have added many seasons.

What?

Do you know at the last long and the moon I've stomped and danced for three days, three?

One out three pairs of magazines that go home, that's deep.

Get a hard ground.

You have not changed.

And all these years might end.

Yeah.

It can be all right, Miss.

Adam.

We're just gonna have to wait and see, Andy.

I hope you're not fighting out more than you can chew.

And of course you always do.

Hey, Mr. Jack, there's that floppier rabbit again.

Robbie.

You think of what I'm thinking?

Yeah.

That could be one of Louisa's litter.

It's gotta be.

You know, Andy, that his mama came all the way from France?

France, go away.

Let's invite him to the each party.

Sure.

Come on, come here.

Come here.

Now, Robbie, that ain't gonna work.

There's a trick to catching rabbits.

I learned it from old broken-hand fits back, trickin'.

Now, first, you gotta smile at her.

See, I think.

But I don't know you're friendly.

I think nothing runs faster than a scared rabbit.

Hello, rabbit.

See?

How many friends?

Come on.

Andy.

There's some carrot greens on the other side of that lawn.

That's a little sailor.

That's nice.

That's the way.

That's nice.

You.

That's the ball.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It says like silk.

I didn't know it's mother, Mr. Adams.

I was I remember.

That was Jack's doing.

Yes, sir.

I'll never forget today I saw that rabbits mama go flying by.

Rabbits can't fly.

They can fly if they're in a balloon.

A balloon?

Yeah, a balloon.

I tell you, when I first saw it, I couldn't believe my own eyes.

There it was.

Coming from out of nowhere.

First, I figured it was from the moon or some such place.

Never seen a cudger like it.

Naturally, I reckon it was up to no good.

And I bring Adams to see you.

Now what do you think?

I think that's the most beautiful sight I've ever seen.

But he just stood there admiring like it was up to me to do something about it.

How did you stand there so tall?

When that thing's a floating around up there, maybe you're going to destroy it.

Look at it up there, Jack.

Just dancing across the sky like a cloud?

Ain't it beautiful?

Just stand tight, Adams.

I'm in it.

No!

I got it.

Look at that.

I got it.

Well, that there balloon sinking down,

a quiet, lazy life with a mighty puzzle in sight to some of the critters.

Now what Adams and me didn't know was it was a carrying a Frenchman by the name of Andrey

and his rabbit called Louie.

Oh, that's all.

I'm sorry, Mr. Johnard.

Jack and I and Ben only speak English.

Maripin.

Louie.

Louie.

My lover.

Don't...

Here you are, Maripin.

Yeah, everything's going to be just fine.

It's going to be all right.

Oh, no.

No, it is not fine.

It's not fine.

My beautiful balloon.

My queen, the Paris.

She is...

First!

Uh...

When Louie wasn't looking, Louie ran off into the woods and got lost for quite a spell.

But all the critters was mighty helpful to Louie,

especially when they found out her name should have been Louise.

Because she was expecting some little ones real soon, Mike.

We all worked like busy little beavers getting that balloon repaired so Andrey could get on his way.

The balloon band, who you might say, was the Bellows boss.

And when she was ready,

I decided to take her up for a ride off by myself.

Just slowly through all...

You may not believe this, but I'm the only mountain-man area not there is.

And I got a medal to prove it.

Gee, I wish I would have been up here when that happened.

Is this a Louise?

No, Andy, this is a moody.

Easy girl.

Jack, close to her life, your knife. I'm going to need your help.

Yeah.

Easy, now, girl.

It looks awful sick.

Yeah.

What's the matter with it?

The fever sent into his spasm like a wood with a human.

The sourdock group, Ross should take the fever away.

The super fox is here, going to be in a lot of trouble if that hawk don't fly.

What do you mean?

Well, he stuck his neck out a long way, he's giving that to Adams.

It seems to me Adams stuck his neck out taking it.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Higher, Robbie, higher!

Hi, bye!

He bears us.

Now, do something Joshua.

Now, it's you boys, that's your friend.

Best save the rest for your supper.

What's in fact, huh?

Wild oats.

Wild oats, and Robbie will finish the breakfast.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You two seem to hit it off real good.

Robbie's best friend I ever had.

Andy, we're going to be moving on soon.

What do we have to?

Yeah, I've decided to quit farming.

We'll go someplace where I can find work and you can go to school.

What kind of work, Ross?

Oh, I don't know, you're here to talk on the wagon train.

There's jobs in the California gold field, log and camps in Oregon.

That's awful far away.

You'll make new friends, Andy.

I guess so.

Don't do what we have to do, like my used to say.

You might be real proud of the way you're growing up, Andy.

They started our group, Ross, to help to break your fever.

It's very sad.

It's going to heal the infection in your feet.

It'll just be a matter of time now, soon, Fox.

Mighty Wind and I will do the hawk dance tomorrow.

Can you bring the sacred hawk?

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

Can you bring the sacred hawk?

Yes, the infection should be healed by then.

You must also bring your friend.

The peace of the spring would not be complete without all our neighbors.

We're going to have our own celebration coming through Sunday.

Now, this wouldn't be the same without our neighbors either.

So be it.

And it is good.

We will learn from each other.

Now, my good friend, we must go prepare for the hawk dance.

But dancing until tomorrow.

Yes.

But we must prepare our bodies to be as clean as the day we were born.

How are we going to do that?

We will sit in the sweat lodge and the burning steam will make our flesh as tender as that of a child.

In the morning, we will greet the spirit of spring.

Oh, where?

In the river.

You mean we are going to roast our bodies all night long in the sweat lodge and then go jump in a nice cold river?

Mighty wind.

King of the mountain, then.

There is no ordeal.

That's true.

I'll just use that little bit in the river.

What am I out of the sight for that peace to spring?

Oh, mighty wind.

We cannot eat until the sacred hawk flies.

Our sacrifice will bring approval from the great spirit.

I don't want you to worry about it, thank you to Jack.

I'll have those honey cakes already for that Easter morning spread I promised you.

Adam?

Adam?

What if the hawk don't fly?

You're going to starve to death.

Keep doctorate.

Now, I know that Adam's was just jostling me about starving the death except it kept running through my mind

because all I could think about was missing that feast, silver fox and his tribe was a planet.

And maybe even that spread Adam's was affixing to sit out on Easter Sunday with all them sweet honey cakes.

Well, maybe there was something else about their meat whilst I was sitting there in the sweat lodge.

That was the thought of jumping in that river the next morning.

I tell you that thought of that just said it chill through me that rattled my bones.

Mmmm, mmmmm, mmmm.

Now, I didn't know Ben had followed us to camp.

camp. I reckon he was interested in seeing these Indian friends and then got curious

when he heard Silver Fox a chant. Along about then the chill had quickly disappeared from

them stones they kept bringing from the fire. Why I almost would have welcomed a little dip

in that river. What are you doing here babe? The spirit of the great bear honors us a happy

moment.

Robby why don't you take Andy and his partner and get some berries for breakfast. I'll stay

here and take care of the heart to make this any case for Easter party. All right. Rick

and he. All right. You don't need that done Mr. Bradley for an attack. She's got pups in

her. He's just protecting her lair. We don't need a heart. We're just passing by.

I used to be Andy I visit Mr Adams a lot. He taught me what to do. Mr Adams knows everything

about animal sure does could never find a friend and Mr Adams. They're the berries Mr.

Bradley. Yeah. I did that. And he was beginning to get a feel for the wild critters just like

Adams and Robby and he wanted to learn more about their ways and when his curiosity let

him to follow that little squirrel there was no way of knowing he was heading for a path

to trouble.

rr Kl

Let's do that for a couple of years.

**

That was close.

I got my sit-stack, Pa.

Oh, that's all right, son.

Let's go.

Everything's all right, Robbie.

For a minute there had hit me, I couldn't lost you.

I got to get that boy back home and I was just like,

It's an awful big decision, isn't it, Brad?

Don't you think you ought to think about that for a while?

I've been thinking about it ever since we left the wagon train.

He likes his grandma and grandpa.

He'll be happy with them.

But you're not being there, it's going to matter the most to him.

The boy is only nine years old.

Can't traipse around the country facing hardships and dangers.

You're just looking at them where you stand.

How's your boy doing?

I'm doing what's best.

You might think it was his fault that you couldn't put up with him anymore.

Forgetting sick on the wagon train and getting his foot caught in the rocks.

Think about it for a while, Brad.

My mind's made up.

We'll leave the center's east to celebrations over.

Adam, I appreciate your advice.

We got 60 nakes from the Easter egg for all the marms.

Well, great.

I told Andy you know how to make dye out of herbs and berries so we can color them.

What colors have you got?

Hell, it's C. Andy.

We got red and green and blue.

I know that for sure.

We might even have some yellow.

That's the boy-law.

Hang on now, boys.

We had to hold off on this.

The hawk's fever is dropped when we got down at Indian County.

You're not going to be able to get down to the lake.

I'm not going to be able to get down to the lake.

We had to hold off on this.

The hawk's fever is dropped when we got down to the Indian County.

Whoever fucks me, it's spent the whole night in that there, sweat-lots, and the moment I was dreading was mighty close.

There's no way now that I could get out of going into that river.

Poor Jack.

Taking a bass baton out.

Put in front of all these people.

He's never going to live it down.

Hey, wait.

Hey, hey.

Hey, hey.

Hey, hey.

Hey, hey.

Hey, hey.

You've just got to know Mad Jack about faster.

Just a minute.

Oh.

Oh, now, how come you get some when I don't get in here?

It is my duty to bless the food of the festival.

But with you, it's some.

A taste, my friend. It is the tradition.

Tomorrow, we will join our new friends in celebration of their holy day, which they call Easter.

Today, we welcome them to our festival of spring.

In winter, the snows cover the earth like a blanket, and the nights are long.

It is a time for sleep and rest while we wait for the spring to come.

Then with spring, the ice melts, and the rivers flow free.

New leaves come on the trees.

The birds bring their music again.

Now it is that time, and our sacred hawk will fly toward the sun and bring us new hope for the months to come.

With the help of our friend, Adams, our prayers will be answered.

Since before to do Jesus Christ's

Jack dents more like a bear than he does like a hawk.

Adam's was right, of course, but him and me both knew we wanted to do anything

and everything that might help that sacred hawk fly.

That was a good idea, Mr. Arnie.

To invite the Indian children to fall, what did it pop?

Yes, it was.

It'll be a really key Sunday.

Lights back home.

At church.

Mr. Friend's back home?

Sometimes, like at Christmas, I did.

Yeah. I guess holidays do that to it.

Do you remember what we used to do on Easter Sunday?

Yes, next month, Easter Barnet.

How would you remember something like that?

I don't know.

I best remember your mom's face shining like the sun itself.

You and a new suit jumping around like a cricket.

Hey, Andy. How'd you like to go back to Missouri?

I thought we were going to join another wagon train.

I don't get sick this time, Pa. Honor.

You're getting sick when you're falling, Andy. I'm not blaming you for that.

But when you like to live with grandma and grandpa?

Well, fine. You mean, shall we get on play?

Right. You'll live with them while I go find a job and get a settle someplace.

Good-bye, I'm going to be with you, Pa.

Wish you will be, son. You will be. In time.

Okay, will you get your pot, please?

I can't, Andy. But your grandma should be like your mom. That's what you need now.

No, I want to tell you.

Think about it, Brian. You'll be making a big mistake.

I'm not going to leave him there forever. A couple of years, maybe.

Maybe? But a boy should share these years with his father.

It's a time of learning and teaching.

An example you're sitting for in the old building stay with him all his life.

There's plenty of time for that.

Maybe so.

Robbie Cartman's about your boy's age when he came out here at this father.

They shared a lot of hardships together.

That's why Robbie turned out to be the boy he is today.

I know what I'm doing. Look, Adams, if anything happened to Andy, I...

I wouldn't have much to live for. I want safe.

Not bitten by some rattles, maybe.

Oh, hi, Mr. Adams. Hi, boys.

No, he hates me that cold.

They sure look nice.

Maybe the chicken will live for more in the morning.

I hope so. We can use all we can get.

Where do you find Lily?

That's what you named him, huh?

Robbie did.

I've been talking to you, Pa. He says he's going to be taking you home.

I don't want to go.

I know you don't want to go.

I don't want to live with grandma.

Your Pa's just looking out for your own safety.

Leaving me behind is not going to be easy, huh?

At least you have your grandma and your grandpa and all your school friends to play with.

Your Pa's going to be by himself.

It's going to be hard on him, isn't it?

He's just doing what he thinks is right.

But I'm afraid.

What are you afraid of?

They'll go away and I'll never see him again.

Well, you can't go through life being afraid.

Many way Easter is a time for having fun and hoping.

Do you believe the rabbit's feet bring good luck?

Do you really?

Well, Louis got four of them.

He doesn't have a home to put on you.

How'd you like to have Louis for your own Easter Bunny?

Do you like that?

There you go, Lily.

Will you keep hoping?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, that's a girl.

You're getting better, aren't you?

Do you think you can make it easy?

No, I'm not.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

Oh, that's a girl.

You're getting better, aren't you?

Do you think you can make it today?

Your tribe's coming over.

What a better day than Easter Sunday.

Let's go.

Let's go.

This will do us 28 all the other, Andy.

Yeah.

You get him started.

Pa, you sound 10 more eggs.

Good. That should be enough.

Mr. Adams said I could keep Louis. He doesn't have any home.

That was nice, Mr. Adams.

We had a talk yesterday. I guess I didn't understand.

Understand what?

He said, the reason me behind would be harder for you.

I'll have Grandma and Grandpa. You won't have anybody.

Mr. Adams, some of the eggs are gone.

Every time this happens, I can't help but wonder if there's a certain

ring-tailed masked bandit that would like to hold his own Easter egg roll.

Joshua, why didn't I think of that? Come on, Andy.

Where are we going?

I know where he hides things, Andy.

There they are.

Thanks, Ben. We didn't have found the eggs without your help.

Huh?

We'll start the egg roll and we'll give you one, Joshua.

All right, Ben. We'll give you one, too.

Oh, forget you, Mary Lou, Daniel.

I'm sorry.

Oh, forget you, Mary Lou, Daniel.

Come on.

Right about then, Ben discovered that a parcel of fuzzy little chicks

just come into the world, and he could hardly wait to let Adam snow about it.

Ben, we've got a lot of work to do.

Chief Wertani, he's bringing the children over.

Boys, we better see what Ben wants to show us. Come on.

Ben, you're not going to be a little too late.

Ben.

Well, this really makes the day, boys.

Thank you, Ben.

It's Adam's, a company's here.

You have the chicks to the any children if you like, Adam.

Thank you, Brad, and make the nice Easter gift.

Adam, go ahead. Go to the silver farm.

Here, Robbie.

Here are these little chickens that are for you.

Happy Easter. You're welcome.

There you go. You take good care of them.

I know you'll be very careful with them.

Like this, Richard. Take good care of them.

You're welcome.

Happy Easter, Ben.

Here you go.

They might be pretty empty, Ben.

Yes, sir.

Oh, no.

You didn't think old Mad Jack is going to eat yourself one of these here eggs.

Did you?

Why?

Look for me.

Old Mad Jacky.

You don't go back on his work.

Hurry.

My friend, Adams, would you explain your celebration of Easter to our people?

Before we start the Easter Egg Roll,

Chief Futani asked me to explain our Easter celebration to you.

Easter means a new beginning, new hope.

We call our great spirit God.

And many, many years ago, God sent His only son down on the earth

with a message for all people, that all men should live together in peace and in harmony.

But there were some people that feared our Lord, and they brought about His death.

Three days later, on the day we now call these two Sunday, our Lord who rose from the grave

and returned to heaven with His Father.

On this day, our Lord's spirit was reborn again.

And we were given this day to remember.

And with it comes new hope, that we can overcome all troubles and start a new life.

And just like you, every spring, my people pray to the great spirit,

to let the sun shine down on them, and to let the cruel winds pass over them in the coming year.

Today is not just any day, everything's alive, and spring is on its way.

And if you try, you can reach the sky, all your hopes and dreams are waiting there for you.

Today is the same as things, here for you and me, to know what's bringin' me.

And don't you know that each time went to gold, spring away to sleep,

springers was formed in love and hope.

All right. Go!

Here's your cave. All right. There you go.

I'll raise you up to here. All right? Come on.

Adams, we just got to get this hawk to fly for a star plumb to death.

You know, I was thinking about giving it a try.

Hold it so I can get the bandages off her feet.

Easy, girl. How they look? They're lookin' pretty good.

Good. You gonna give it a try? Yeah. Good. Silver fox?

Adams is gonna see if the hawk will fly. Easy now.

I want you to use your feet, girl. Put your my arm. Easy.

You can do it. Easy now. Good.

Easy now, girl. Use your feet. Good.

You made one of that.

Hey, hawk. Fly!

Believe me, I don't think none of us ever seen a prettier sight than that

there-a-hop-a-saurin' up there in the blue sky.

It seemed like we was looking at a new beginning. A rendouled, you might say.

See you later, sir.

He paid a paw? I saw him. He paid a paw.

God made him fly, son. Mr. Adams helped.

Remember, he said with faith we could overcome the troubles of the past.

I'm glad you were listening, Brad.

Andy?

What do you say we go down to the valley and find us a piece of land?

Instead of far?

Good Lord Willem, we'll have a new beginning.

Oh, Pa!

Hi Mr. Adam.

Hi, Brad. Hello, Ben.

Hi, Andy.

Glad to see you.

Oh, Mr. Bradley, this is a nice piece of land you picked out of here.

Mr. Cartman and Robbie were a big help.

So were you, Adams.

You made the right decision, Brad.

Yes, I did, thanks to you.

You know what I got here.

That there is a fix-ins for some of Mad Jack's subjects.

We're going to have us a rough-raising party.

A party?

We've got to celebrate putting that roof on your cabin.

I figured we should have it up by sundown.

Tonight?

Well, sure. Ben's going to help us and so are the Indians.

Silver Fox figured Ben could use some help.

Might just do it at that, son.

Come on, Pa.

Look over there.

I don't know how to thank you, Adams.

Oh, there's no need to, Brad.

It's a little hard to come by when you're down.

I just reminded you of something you forgot about.

To believe in the help beyond yourself.

Well, I'll never forget it again no matter what happens.

You two better quit Lola, Yagan.

Ben says he wants to get started.

Deep inside the forest is a door into another land.

Here is our life and home.

We are staying here forever in the beauty of this place alone.

We keep on hoping.

Maybe there's a world where we don't have to run.

We're not anywhere.

There's a time for our own living, breathing, harmony and majesty.

Take me home.

Take me home.

You
