00:00Bear says thanks, by Karma Wilson.
00:30Illustrated by Jane Chapman.
00:35All alone in his cave, Bear listens to the wind.
00:39He is bored, bored, bored, and he misses his friends.
00:48I could make a big dinner, a feast I could share.
00:56But he looks through his cupboard, and his cupboard is Bear.
01:04Then Mouse stops by with a huckleberry pie, and the Bear says, thanks.
01:14Bear says, goodness me, a delectable pie.
01:22But I have made nothing, he adds with a sigh.
01:29Then they hear, hi-ho, and they both see Hare with a big batch of muffins at the door of
01:36the lair.
01:40Hare hurries in from the cold, rushing wind, and the Bear says, thanks.
01:50Of course, says Hare, then he points to the door.
01:58Here comes Badger, he's got even more.
02:03Brr, says Badger, as he tromps inside.
02:09He sets down his pole and smiles real wide.
02:12I'm back from a stroll at the old fishing hole.
02:16And the Bear says, thanks.
02:23Then Gopher and Mole tunnel up from the ground.
02:26We have warm honey nuts, let's pass them around.
02:34There's a flap and a flitter and a flurry in the den, when in flutters Owl with Raven
02:40and Wren.
02:42We have pears from the tree and herbs to brew tea.
02:50And the Bear says, wait.
02:56Bear mutters, and he stutters, and he wears a big frown.
03:01Bear sighs, and he moans, and he plops himself down.
03:08You have brought yummy treats.
03:11You are so nice to share.
03:14But me, I have nothing.
03:16My cupboards are bare.
03:21Mouse squeaks, don't fret, there's enough, dear Bear.
03:27You don't need any food, you have stories to share.
03:34His friends hug him tight, it will be all right.
03:38And the Bear says, thanks.
03:45They lay out their feast on a quilt on the ground, and the Bear takes a seat while his
03:50friends gather round.
03:56In a cave in the woods, in a warm, bright lair, the friends feel grateful for their
04:01good friend Bear.
04:03They pass around platters, they tweet and they chatter.
04:11And they all say thanks.
