To the big blue house ♪

♪ -Door is open

♪ -Now you're here
-So let's begin! ♪

Hi there. He, he, he.

It is so good to see you!

I was hoping you
were coming by today!

Come on in.

Today, I'm going to...

[sniffing] Hmmm?

[sniffing]

Wait a second.
What's that smell?

It smells like... [sniffing]

cereal, and [sniffing] bananas!

[sniffing]

Hmmm? ... [sniffing]

[gasps] It's you!

[sniffing]

Ooo. Tell me.
Did you just have breakfast?

Because you smell like
cereal and bananas.

[sniffing] Aah!

Or maybe you smell
this good all the time.

He, he, he.

Anyway, I was just going
to go to the kitchen.

-Bear! Bear!
-Hm?

-Oh, hey Ojo!
-Um

Doc Hogg is at the back door,

and he wants to talk to you!

HOGG: Hey Bear?

-Oh! And, Bear,
-Hm?

he's got something on his head.

Oh! We better
go see what's going on.

-Come on.
-HOGG: Oh, Bear.

See, Bear? See?

Hello, Bear!

Well, hi Doc Hogg, what
a pleasant

-surprise.
-Surprise!

Yes, I know it is, Bear,
and thank you for sayin' so,

but I'm afraid this
isn't a social call.

As you might already know,
I'm the Grand Imperial Boar

of the local Woodland Valley
Chapter of the Swiners.

Eee. [snorting]

Oh, yes. I did hear
you were the big bore.

Ojo, that's why Doc
is wearing that hat.

The Swiners is a club
he belongs to in town.

-Oh! Cool!
-Yes indeedy.

Well, I'll stop chasing
the goose around the barn

and get to the point.
[clearing throat]

I'm collecting money for
the poor Muskrats

down in the valley who were
recently flooded out

of their muskrat holes when
the river rose up last week.

-Oh, I see.
-Yeah.

Oh can we help, Bear? Can we?

We just have to!

Don't worry, Ojo, we will.
Just a second, Doc...

This is where I keep
my money for the house...

Let's see now...

I'll just, uh-oh, dear.

I seem to be out
of money right now.

-Sorry, Doc.
-Oh, but Bear!

We have to help the muskrats!

We will, Ojo, we will.

-We just have to think of -
-You'll think of something.

I know it.
I'll just come back later.

Bye, bye now.

-Give me an 'S'. Give me a 'W'.
-Bye bye, Doc.

-Give me an I, N, E.
-See you later.

Come on, Ojo. We have
some thinking to do.

Let's see. Helping the muskrats.

How do we help the muskrats?

-Hmmmm.
-Hmmm...

Hmmm.

[falling things]

-Tutter!
-Tutter?

Ooooh. Mmmmph. Brrrraaa.

Tutter, are you okay?

I've got a problem, guys.

A big problem.

My mousehole is too small!

Too small!

I can't get all
my stuff in anymore!

Look at this!

Well, Tutter, I'd be glad

to store some of it
in the attic for you.

Wha-Oh, no, no, no Bear. Hehehe.

That's quite alright.

A mouse has to look out
for himself in this world.

So, if you'll excuse me, Bear.

But Tutter don't you think maybe

you have
a little bit too much...

Hiiiiiiiiiiyah!

Uh, Stuff?

Oh, please, not right now, guys.

I'm trying to deal
with this problem.

[groaning] [gasps]

One...

Two... and three!

Ah!

[gasps]

I did it! I did it!

Uh-oh!

Iiiia-ha!

Whoa! Tutter!

Tutter!

Let me help you.

-[groans]
-Tutter, are you alright?

Oh, I'm fine, Bear, just fine.

But, you know,
I just thought of something.

I think that maybe the problem
isn't my mouse hole.

Maybe maybe it's just that
I just have too much stuff.

Uh yeah.

Yeah,
I think you're right, Tutter.

That Tutter's
such a good thinker!

But what am I going to do, Bear?

What!
I can't just toss it out! Huh?

No, no, not this mouse!

Some of this stuff is still
good, it's still good, Bear!

Oh! Wait! Bear!

Tutter just gave me
the greatest idea!

Who, me? I did?

What is it, Ojo?

Well, we could sell
stuff like you know,

stuff we don't need,
or, or, or other things!

Speak for yourself, Ojo.

No, no, no! Tutter wait!
Ojo's got a great idea.

We could have a yard sale.

-Yeah!
-Yeah! A yard sale!

Haha. Uh just one thing...

Yes?

What's a yard sale?

Oh, well, a yard sale
is when you take

all the stuff you don't
need out of your house

and you sell it in your yard!

We can use some of the money
from a yard sale

to help the muskrats
down in the valley!

Oh! I heard what
happened down there.

Ooh, well, count me in!

Count me in for the yard sale!

Now, if l only had some
stuff I didn't need

that I
could sell at the yard sale.

-Aah...
-Hmm...

Well, um, I don't think
you'll have any problem

finding something, Tutter.

Oh!
That's easy for you to say, Ojo!

Easy for you!

Well, I'd better get to work!

Well, I'll see you later!

Bye, Tutter! See you later!

-Yeah.
-[chuckles]

Wow, this is exciting!

We're going to have
a yard sale for Charity!

Hey.

Charity.

Charity!

Mmm, hmm.

Charity is when you
help out somebody out.

And you can give lots
of things to help.

Like, you could give...

food!

Mm-hm.

Um... Or clothes?

Mmm, hmm.

Sure! Clothes are great!

Or you could give money, too,

or just a little time to help
somebody else out!

But whatever you do,

always remember, every
little bit helps!

Wow! I'd better go figure out

See you later, Bear!

Okay, Ojo. See you later.

Well, this bear better figure
out he's gonna sell, too.

Maybe,
I'll look upstairs in the attic.

There might be something up
there somebody wants to buy.

Well, I guess I had more
stuff than I thought.

[Shadow's laughter]

Hey, did you hear that?

That sounded like Shadow.

You know, if we look real hard

and sing our song together,

she might appear. Ready?

Oh!

Wow,

Well, yes we are Shadow.

Would you like to come
by and buy something?

Well, I'll probably
be around somewhere,

but we shadows don't really
have any place

to put money, you know.

Oh, that's true.

Haha! But, Bear, I think I do
have a story you'll like.

Would you like to hear it?

Hehe. Sold, Shadow!

Thank you.

I'd love to stay and hear

Well,

We're fine... [chuckles]

I was just about

Well, here we are!

What are you doing

Yeah, you'd think we were going

Yeah, nice table.

That's just like the table

Um,

[exclamations of disappointment]

But we had them, Bear!

Guys, we need the table

-Good point.
-Oooo

Yeah, at least ninety seven
cents. What do you think?

Hey Treelo. How's it going?

Hi, Bear.
Look! Lots of sale stuff!

Oh, yes!
That is a lot of stuff to sell.

You've got twigs,

and dirt and

rocks.

Ha, ha. Treelo sell all this
stuff, and help muskrats!

Well, Treelo. It's really nice

that you want to help
the muskrats,

but I really don't think that...

Oh my, oh my, oh my!

Do these hog's eyes deceive me,

or Treelo, is that a purple
geode you got right there?

Yeah! Yeah!

Why, I've been looking for one
of those since I was, oh,

knee high to a boweevil.

Let's see how much I have here.

Uh. Oooh. Nice job, Treelo.

OJO: Bear, Bear, come see!

Oh, hey Ojo.

Excuse me, guys.

Look, Bear! I found something
to sell at the yard sale, too!

-Ha, ha.
-Paintings!

Good idea, Ojo!

Yeah, Bear, I'm going
to paint pictures

for anyone who wants one!

Get your picture
painted, right here!

And,
well, I'm a really good painter!

Oooh, paintings.

Ooh, we always wanted
our picture painted.

Ay-yup!

How much is it?

Oooh. 25 cents,

or, well, whatever
you'd like to give to charity.

Hmmm.

We'll take it!

For fifty cents!

Great!

Ooh, just one second.

Come on, Etta.

Okay, we're ready now.

Ay-yup!

Wow! Happy painting, Ojo!

Hehe. Thanks Bear.

Let's go see how Tutter's doing.

Bye, Bear!

Okay.

Oh, I just have
to have that thimble.

I just have to buy it.

How much is it?

It is beautiful, isn't it?

-Oh, lovely.
-Oooh.

I'm sorry, I can't part with it.

Oooh, I might need it.

You might read it?

Why would anyone want
to read a thimble?

Oh well.

No,
um, actually I might need it...

-Oooh, excuse me.
-Uh, uh, yes?

How much for that big
bottle of Turtle Shine?

That's a nice big bottle.

Yeah. Boy, it is, isn't it?

Nice and big!

Um, um...

You know, I think
I'd better hold on to it.

Y-Y-You never know when you
might need to shine a turtle.

Oh well, uh, okay, uh.

Yeah. I just don't
want to be caught without.

-You know how it is.
-I guess so.

-Yeah. Ooooh.
- So, uh, Tutter.

How are things going?

Oh, Bear, not too good.

I don't want to sell my stuff.

Well, Tutter I'm sorry, but
you can't keep all your stuff,

-and help the charity, so...
-I know, I know.

Oh, lookie here at my grandson,
selling away for charity!

Oh, uh hi, Grandma Flutter!

Oh, oh, and look!

Oh, my! I have been looking

for a cotton ball
like this one forever!

It's perfect! Mmm Hmm.

Yeah you know, that is
a really nice cotton ball.

Really nice

Oh, boy… A mouse could do a lot

with a cotton ball
like that one...

Oh, you're not kidding!

I could make it into a hat,
or a muffler...

-A muffler?
-Or even a twin bed set!

For a mouse, that is.

Ha, ha.

Bear this is so tough...

I know,
Tutter, but just give it a try!

Okay.

[gulps]

Um, Grandma, you can

you can have the cotton ball.

Oh great, how much is it?

Um uh. It's, um, 25 cents!

Terrific!

Boy oh boy.

Charity yard sales
make me feel great!

And it's all thanks
to my grandson, Tutter.

Come here, my baby boy.

-What? You wanna...
-[kissing sound]

It really makes
you feel that good?

It sure does.

I don't remember the last
time I've been this happy.

-Whoa!
-Hm mm.

Oh, whoa!

Um, Tutter, are you okay?

Yeah Bear,
I feel surprisingly good.

In fact I feel great.

-You do?
-Ha!

Yeah! I let my grandma
buy the cotton ball,

and that made her happy,

cause she can make
something with it,

and we both helped
out the muskrats!

I've never felt better!

Well, that's great Tutter.

[yelling out] Oh, hey.
Come and get it.

Come and get Tutter's stuff.

I've got thimbles of all kinds,
buttons of all colors...

Hey goooood.

We bow to you,
oh selling master...

[chuckles]

Really? You really think
I'm a selling master?

Yeah, Tutter.
You are a selling master!

There you go, Doc.

Bear, I don't know what to say.

He he. That's a first...

-Ha, ha.
-Yeah, I believe it is!

Thank you all.

This goes above and beyond
the call of duty!

You've all made some real
friends down in muskrat-ville,

I can tell you that.

He he! Oh, no problem, Doc.

In fact, we've enjoyed it.

-Right everybody?
-Yeah!

-It was fun!
-We love helping!

Well, in honor of all
your good works,

I've
got a little surprise for you!

-Oh?
-Really?

-What?
-What surprise?

By the power vested in me,

I hereby make
all of you honorary...

Swiners!

[snorting]

Yay!

Swiners! Swiners! Swiners!

Wow!
This has been some great day.

Let's go up and tell
Luna all about it.

Come on!

Oh, there she is!

Hello, Luna!

Hello, Bear!

And how was today
in the Big Blue House?

Well, Luna,
did you hear about the flood?

Oh my, yes.

Down by the river.

All those Muskrats, poor things
flooded out of their homes.

Yeah,

but, Doc Hogg was collecting
money for the muskrats,

so Ojo got the idea
for a yard sale!

And we gave the money that
we made to the muskrats

so they could build new homes.

What a fine thing it
is to help others.

Charity can be hard sometimes.

But when you help someone,
you get things in return

that money can't buy.

Yeah, like a smile,

or a hug, or just the good
feeling

that comes when you've
made someone else's day

just a little bit nicer.

Hm-mm. That is priceless.

And speaking of priceless
things,

would you sing
the "Goodbye Song"

with me before you go, Luna?

I'd love to Bear.

I'd love to.
