[music]

Hi there! [chuckles]

It is so good to see you.

And you are just in time
because today is Ojo's birthday!

Mm-hmm. And we have a lot
of neat stuff planned for her.

So that's why I'm just
about to check the mail.

I bet Ojo has a bunch
of mail today.

Okay, now.
Let's see what we've got.

Oh yes! I was right!

Cards for Ojo-

Huh?

And a box...

Gee,
I wonder if this box is for Ojo.

-[shouting] Ahhh!
-Bear! Mail!

[giggles] [chuckles]

Treelo, you surprised me!

Treelo surprise Bear!

[laughter]

Me surprise you, Bear! [giggles]

[chuckles] You sure did.

Yeah. [giggles] Ah. Bye, Bear.

Huh? Well, a-okay, Treelo.

But, uh... See you later.

Wow! That's one of the great
things about mail...

you never
know what you're going to get!

Especially when you have
a friendly little lemur

hanging around your mailbox.

Well, let's take these
inside for Ojo! Come on.

Like I was saying, today is...

[sniffing]

Wait a minute.

What's that smell?

It smells like... [sniffing]

...corn on a hot summer's day...

Mmm...

[sniffing]

Hmm?

[sniffing]

[gasps] It's you!

[sniffing] Ooo.

Tell me, were you
just eating corn on the cob?

'Cause you smell all
sweet and buttery.

[chuckles]

Well, as I was saying,
today is Ojo's birthday!

And we have a lot
of things planned for her,

including a party!

She knows all about it, except-

[whispering] She doesn't know
that Ursa's coming to the party.

That's right!
It's a biiiig surprise.

Have you ever had a friend
from far away

visit you as a surprise?

Well, that's what Ursa's
doing for Ojo

and it's a big
surprise for her...

so don't tell Ojo, okay?

-Hey, Bear! [chuckles]
-Hmm?

B-oh! Uh, uh, uh, Ojo! Um.

[whispering] Don't tell her,
okay?

Hi... Ojo!

[gasps] Oh! Hi, Bear.
Oh, oh, Bear!

Did I get mail? Did I?

-Mail? Um.
-Uh-huh.

[chuckles]

Why, Ojo, why would you be
getting mail today, I wonder.

Oh! [chuckles] It's my birthday,
Bear! You know that!

[gasps]

It is?

Aw... Why, Ojo, I wondered
why you looked a year older!

[chuckles]

-Happy Birthday, Ojo.
-Oh, thank you, Bear!

[gasps] Whoa.

Is all that mail for me?

Hmm? Well, let's see...

um, Ojo...

Ojo... Ojo and... Ojo.

-Oh!
-Yep, this is all for you.

Oh. All for me.

Oh. Let's take it
into the kitchen and open it.

-Okay. Come on.
-Come on.

Let's see what this one says...

Happy birthday, Ojo.

Love and feathers, Lois!'

[chuckles] That tickles.

[chuckles]

Oh... and this one looks
like it's from Doc Hogg.

Heh-heh. [snorts]
Heh-heh. [snorts]

Have a Hog Happy Birthday, Ojo.

-Heh-heh. [snorts]
-[giggles]

-Neat!
-Have a Hog Happy Birthday, Ojo.

-Uh...
-Heh-heh. [snorts]

-Heh-heh. [snorts]
-Yeah... nice.

Okay.

Ooo. Look at this one.

Ooo. Wow!

I know who this is from!

It's from Ursa!

Mm-hmm.
Uh, uh, yes it is. [chuckles]

Shhh...

[whispering]
Remember our secret!

[sigh] Oh... you know, Bear,

wouldn't that be great if Ursa
could come to my birthday party!

Oh, uh... [chuckles]

... yeah, it,
uh, it would, wouldn't it, Ojo.

Yeah... but, well...

she lives too far away.

Okay, well... um, see ya, Bear.

I'm gonna go,
um, look at my cards!

[giggles] Bye!

Okay, Ojo! See you later!

Phew!

That was a close call.

Thanks for keeping
our surprise a secret!

Now, I think
I'll go wrap Ojo's present.

[chuckles]

Wow! Ojo's gonna love
having Ursa at a party!

What a great surprise!

[gasps]

Surprise!

Ooo. Surprise.

Yeah. A surprise is,

well, when something that you
don't expect to happen, happens.

Like...

oh!

...remember when we surprised

Tutter with a party
on his birthday?

Wow!

He was so surprised!

I am so surprised!

Or when Pip and Pop
drop in unexpectedly!

-Ahh! Ahh!
-Ahh!

That's always a surprise...

Or, when somebody gives
you something nice

that you weren't expecting!

[gasps] For me?

-Yeah.
-Aww.

Surprises.

And the great thing about
a surprise is

you don't
know what's going to happen!

-Shhh!

[whispering] What surprise?

[deep breath]

I-

[whispering] Ursa is
coming for Ojo's party.

Oooooh, Ursa!

-[chuckles]
-Shhh...

Ooo. [whispering]
That's great, Bear!

-Mm-hmm.
-I know.

So I'm gonna go get

some wrapping paper
out of the closet

and wrap Ojo's gift, okay?

-Oh... Okay, Bear.
-I... okay. Okay.

-[gasps] Pip!
-What is it, Pop?

-Come on. Follow me.
-All right!

We're gonna go tell Ojo
all about her surprise.

Whoa, good idea! Ojo!

[shouting] Ojo!
Ooo. Ojo! Oh, a surprise!

-Guys! Guys! Guys! Shhh-
-What, what, what, what?

Guys... um,

you-you want
to surprise Ojo, right?

Well, yeah.

And, you want it to be
a surprise, right?

-W-W-Yeah, Bear.
-Yeah, of course. So...

Well you see,

that's kind of the whole point
of a surprise.

Hoo?

If Ojo knows Ursa is coming,

then it won't be a surprise.

Oooohhh.

Um...

Okay.

Um...

[sighs]

Boy, wow,
this surprise stuff is tough.

-I'll say.
-Ha.

[gasps] Pip.

[gasps] What?

Let's do our own
surprise for Ojo!

Hey, yeah, that's a good idea!

It's better than good.
It's a great idea.

-[laughter]
-Cool. Come on, Pip!

We've got
a surprise to think up.

Right!

See you later, guys.
And remember

[whispering] don't tell Ojo.

Oh. Right, Bear ...

-Surprise!
-Ahhh

-Oh!
-[giggles]

[laughing] Oh. Good one, Treelo!

Yeah. You got us!

Yeah. [laughter]
Treelo surprise Pip and Pop!

[laughter] Surprise.

[sigh] Well, at least I have
the wrapping paper and the tape.

Now, let's go wrap Ojo's gift.
Come on.

There.
I have wrapped Ojo's present

and now it is safely
hidden in my trunk.

Shh.

SHADOW: Peek-a-boo, Bear!
[laughter]

Did you hear that?
That sounded like Shadow.

Hmm?

Sounds like she's
playing one of her games.

But if we look real hard
and sing a song together,

she might appear.

Ready?

♪ Oh! Where-o where-a
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where-a where-a
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where-a where-a
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where can Shadow be? ♪

Shadow!

Peek-a-boo, Bear! [laughter]

I'm right over here!

Oh. [chuckles] Hello, Shadow!

So good to see you.

So, Shadow,
what have you been doing, today?

Well, Bear, I've been playing
peek-a-boo with the clouds,

and I thought you'd
enjoy the game, too!

[chuckles]
Why, thank you, Shadow.

Well, Shadow,
since you're here, um,

do you happen to have
a story for us?

Why certainly, Bear!

Let me see what I can
surprise you with today!

Just watch.

[magic fairy dust sound]

♪ All around
the cobbler's bench ♪

-♪ The monkey... ♪
-Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo.

♪ Chased the weasel ♪

-Wha-
-Ooo, ooo, ooo.

♪The monkey thought
It was all in fun

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, oo.

♪ Pop goes the weasel ♪

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Wow! What a great story!

"Pop Goes the Weasel.

"Although,
Shadow, where is the cobbler?

Hmm? Out getting some bananas
and weasel food, I imagine.

[laughter] Well, I'm off.

You never know when I'll return.

It'll be a... surprise!

[chuckles] Thanks, Shadow.

Bye-bye. [chuckles]

-Oh, Hickory Dickory!
-Hmm?

Hey, that sounds like Tutter.

Let's go down and see
if he needs our help.

Come on.

[chuckles]

Tutter is one busy mouse.

Not only is he doing
all the decorating, but

he's also making
Ojo's birthday cake.

[in despair] Oh Brie!
Great gobs of Gooda!

-Oh!
-Tutter?

Oh, Bear! This is a disaster,
I tell ya! A disaster! Oh!

Well... what's wrong, Tutter?

What's wrong? Well, I'll
tell you what's wrong, Bear!

Blueberries!

There's a big ol'
blueberry blob right here...

where the surprise
ingredient is.

How am I supposed to figure out
the surprise ingredient, Bear,

with a big ol'
blueberry blob on top of it!

And that looks like
a strawberry blob...

Yeah.

and that looks like...

someone was a very sloppy cook.

[chuckles]

Well, that may be true, but
it looks to me like

these are different choices.

Mm-hmm.

Each one of these could
be a surprise ingredient.

-[gasps]
-In fact maybe you could-

Wh-whoa. Hey-hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, Bear.

Now-now, these blobs must be
the surprise ingredient that,

that other Tutter's
put in their cakes...

[gasps]

Maybe I cou-could make up
my own surprise ingredient!

Bo-I could put anything
I wanted to in there!

-Why, Tutter, what a great idea!
-Yeah.

In fact, maybe you could
put something in it

that Ojo likes!

Well sure, Bear! [laughter]

And I have just the ingredient
that Ojo would love.

[laughter] Oh boy.

I-I've got to get started here!

[grunts] Okay, let's see.

Flour. Yup, got the flour. Okay.

-[shouting] Surprise, Tutter!
-Ahh!

Tutter, are you all right?

[laughter]

[coughing]

[laughter]

Ah. You're funny, Tutter!

-Treelo.
-[laughing] You're so funny.

Treelo... a word... Treelo?

Wh-what?

[shouting] You scared me!

[laughter]

[singing]
Treelo surprise Tutter.

-[laughter]
-Uh, Treelo. Um.

-Tutter, it's okay.
-Huh?

I think it's time I talk
to Treelo about his surprises.

Ye-ye-yeah. G-g-good idea, Bear.

-I'll see you later.
-[gasps]

Treelo!

Treelo.

Aha!

I saw the lid go down which
means he must be in the trunk,

which means, he's not gonna
surprise me this time!

Surprise, I... Huh?

I thought he as in the trunk.

Do you know where he is?

Surprise, Bear!

-Ahhh.
-[laughter]

Treelo surprise
Bear again! [laughter]

Boo! [laughter]

Treelo so good at this!

-Yea--, yes, you are, Treelo.
-Yeah.

-[giggles]
-Um, can we talk?

Oh. Okay, Bear. [giggles]

Surprise, Yaah! [giggles]

You see, Treelo...

um,
some surprises are very nice...

Yeah. [giggles]

...but some surprises, like
the kind when you jump out...

-Mm-hmm.
-... and surprise somebody...

...when they don't
know you're there...

...well, sometimes those
surprises can be kind of scary.

Oh,

Treelo not want scare anybody...

but Treelo like surprises!

And that's good!
It's good to like surprises.

But let's see if we can't
think of a surprise

that won't be scary...

like maybe one
for Ojo's birthday...

Ohh... surprise for Ojo!

Okay, Bear.
Okay, me think of surprise.

-Let's think.
-Okay.

Hmm...

Perfect. [giggles]

-That's a good one, Pop.
-The banner's up...

The balloons are all blown up...

Everything's almost ready.

Bear, Bear.
Now? Me do it now, Bear?

N-N-No. Not yet, Treelo.

Not-not yet what, Bear?

-Nothing!
-Nothing!

Nothing at all!

Okay, okay, geez.

Hey... [sniffing]

My sniffer is sniffing
something most delicious.

[sniffing]

Ooo.

Smells like Tutter's surprise
cake is almost ready.

-Yeah, and...
-Oh boy, Ojo!

Have we got a
great surprise for you!

-What? What? What?
-Hey, yeah, okay.

-[giggle]
-Here we go.

-[gasps] Oooh, oooh, ooh.
-We even wrapped it, see!

Oh, oh, oh!
It's-It's a horsey on a stick!

-We-
-Oh! Oh!

I've always wanted

-a horsey on a stick...
-Wow! You're a good guesser!

-My very own...
-I'll say.

Thank you, Pip and Pop! Mwah!

[chuckles]

You're gonna have a lot
of adventures with that, Ojo.

-Yeah.
-I think she likes it.

Ahem, I say. [shouting] A-hem!

[shouting] It's a lot
heavier than it looks.

Oh, hey, Tutter. How's it going?

Hey Tutter.

[gasps] If I may have
your attention, please...

Tutter the Mouse has made
for Ojo's birthday,

Ojo Surprise Cupcakes,

named after none other than...

Ojo!

-[laughter]
-Ooooh!

-Ahhh!
-Thank you, thank you very much.

Oh, oh! My own cake! Oh!

-Thank you, Tutter.
-[laughing] You're welcome.

But what's in it?

It's honey!

[laughter]
That's the surprise ingredient.

Ojo's Honey Cupcake Surprise!

-[laughter]
-Honey! Thanks, Tutter!

That's my favorite!

What a great idea, Tutter.

-Yeah.
-Brilliant, I'd say, Bear.
