Oh!
[chuckles]

It's you!
It's so good to see you.

And you are just in time.

Come on in.

You see, I was just about to...

[sniffing]

What's that smell?

[sniffing]

Hmm?

[sniffing]

Ha! It's you!

[sniffing]
Oooh!

Tell me.
Did you just brush your teeth?

Because you smell all
minty -like toothpaste!

[sniffing]
Aaah!

Or maybe you smell
this good all the time?

[chuckles]

[random noise]

Did you hear that?
I thought I heard...

now this is going to sound
silly-but

I thought I heard
somebody sniffing.

[sniffing]

There it is again!

I wonder who it could be.

[sniffing]

Do you know who's sniffing.

[sniffing]

Are you sniffing?

[sniffing]

[exclaims]

[laughing]

-Hey, Ojo.
-Hi, Bear.

So you are our mystery sniffer.

Yeah.
I'm sniffin', too.

That's great, Ojo.
But...why?

Oh, because I'm pretending to
be a big bear, today. Like you.

Oh, pretending to be a big Bear!

Well, that's great, Ojo.

Umm, be my guest.
Sniff away.

Really?

Oh wow!

Okay.
Wait.

[clears throat]
[sniffing]

Umm... hmm...

-What's that smell?
-Very good.

Um, Bear?
Could you lift me up, please?

Sure. Here we go. Upsy-daisy.

-Oh, thank you. Okay.
-There.

Hey!

[sniffing]

What's that smell?

It's, oooh!

It's you.

You smell like,
um... like... hmm.

[sniffing]

Oh! Toothpaste!
Right Bear?

Yes,
Ojo. Good sniffing!

[laughing]

So, Hey.
What's the basket for?

-This?
-I am going berry picking today.

Ohh... Berry picking?
Cool!

-Hey. I have an idea, Ojo.
-What?

Instead of you
pretending to be a big bear,

would you like to do some
real big bear stuff with me

and go berry picking?

Really? Would I? I can
berry picking with you, Bear?

-Really? Really?
-You bet. Yes.

And then when we're done,

you can help me
bake a triple berry pie.

Wow!

I love triple berry pie!

[laughs]

Great!
Okay!

First you'll need to wear a very
special pair of berry picking.

-Got em!
-Gloves.

Oh! Okay.

But now you'll need to have a
very special berry-picking ba...

-Got it!
-...sket.

You are a quick little bear,
Ojo.

Well, I think we're ready.

-Ready!
-To the Pond!

Ok. To the pond.

We're going berry picking!

One-two-three.

-No. This isn't working.
-No.

Maybe we're spinning them in the
wrong direction or something.

Yeah.
That must be it.

-Hey, guys!
-Hi guys!

Hi Bear.
Hi Ojo.

Hey, what are those?

These are only the brand new
Aloha Otter Hoops

we just got!

It's the very latest in
Otter fun, don't you know.

Yeah, and we're just trying
them out! Want to watch?

-Oh, oh! Can we, Bear?
-Sure!

Okay. Alright. Ready, Pop?

-Ready!
-Okay. Here we go.

One, two, three...

Oh!

I think these things are broken.

Do they need
batteries or something?

-Uh... Guys?
-Yes, Bear?

I don't think they're
broken,

and I don't think
they need batteries.

Really?

Then what's wrong.
Bear?

Well, sometimes when you're
trying something new.

You have to try it a few
times before you get it right.

[exclaims]
Really?

Oh, yeah.
You'll get better at it.

You just need to practice.

Ooooh!

Practice.

Okay.

Well then,
let's practice hooping Pop!

Yeah, but let's go over there
where the ground is flatter.

-I think that'll help.
-Good idea! Good idea!

Hey, Ojo? Want to come
Otter hooping with us?

-Huh? huh?
-Umm...

Well, no thanks Pip.

I mean,
it sounds really fun and all,

but I think that Bear needs my
help berry picking right now.

[exclaims]

Berry picking.

Wow!

Well, we'll see later then.

-Bye guys!
-Bye guys!

[laughs]

Well, I guess some things just
take practice, don't they, Ojo?

Yup!

Hey. Practice.

PRACTICE

Practice. Cool.

Say Ojo.

Since you're being
a big bear today,

why don't you tell
us what practice is?

Sure, Bear!

[clears throat]

Okay. Umm...

Practice is when

you do something,
umm... lots of times

so you can learn how to do it.

-Right, bear?
-That's right, Ojo!

You can practice anything,
like... for example...

tying your shoes...

[music]

Saying the alphabet...

Yeah.

A, b, c, d!

Very good Ojo!

You can even practice
playing the drums

until you play
your favorite song.

[drum playing]

[both laughing]

Well, Bear.

Doing big bear
things with you today

that's sort of like
practising, too, isn't it?

Hey, you're right, Ojo!

You are practising
to be a big bear.

The important thing
about practice is don't give up,

and then you can be good
at just about anything!

Yeah.
Practice!

Don't give up.

Would you like
to ask our friends

what their favorite
thing to practice is.

Oooh!

Okay, Bear!

[clearing throat]

So, what do you think?

What's your, umm...

[whispers]
Favorite thing to practice.

Oh, oh. Yeah!

Um, what's
your favorite thing to practice?

[whispers]
What do you think?

What do I think?

-I think that the best thing to pra...
-Ojo, Ojo.

-What?
-Ask them what they think.

Ho,ho!

Got it, Bear.

Well, what do you think?

Very good, Ojo.

Really?

I practice basketball.

I'm in band,
so I have to practice a lot.

I practice in cursive
letters at school.

I'm good at reading, but I still
have to practice on my math.

I practice my time tables.

I practice on my time tables,
too.

I like to do everything.

I practice making my bed.

Takes a lot of practice.

I sing in the choir,
and I practice a lot.

Boy, you've practised
some good stuff.

Yeah. You guys must
be really good by now.

Okay, Ojo, it's time for you
and me to do some berry-picking!

Okay, Bear!

Aah! Here's some berry bushes,
right here.

Aah! Ha, ha!

Now, Ojo, you want to pick
the berries that are ripe,

like the dark red
one right here,

or the dark blue
ones right here.

Okay. The dark blue ones.
Gotcha.

But, oh, the green ones...
like these right there.

Do not pick the green ones
because they are not ripe.

Oh! The green ones are not ripe.

-Right!
-Gotcha.

Oh, that means they're
not ready to eat.

Also, you should
always let somebody big

tell you what berries
to pick before you do it,

because there are some berries
that you should not eat.

Nah-uh.

Okay.

Um, Bear.

Is this a good one, right here?

That's a very good one, Ojo.

-And now you, watch me.
-Okay.

-Pick it.
-Okay.

-Put it in your basket.
-Okay.

-Hmm!
-Hmm!

Oh, okay.

This is a good one over here,
isn't it. Bear?

Yes. That's a very good one.
And now you...

I know... I pick it and
put it in my basket.

Hmm, huh?

BOTH: Pick it.
Put it in my basket.

Pick it.
Put it in my basket.

Way to berry-pick, Ojo!

Yeah! I'm berry-pickin'.
I'm doing it, Bear!

In fact, you're doing such
a good job

that I'm going
to go back into the house

to the kitchen,

and get everything
ready for our pie crust.

And while you stay out
here berry-picking,

when your basket is full,

you can come in.

Oh, oh, oh!

You mean I can stay out here and
berry-pick all by myself. Bear?

-Like a big bear?!
-Yeah.

-Okay. See you later.
-See you soon.

Got it, okay. Berry.
Pick it.

Put it in the basket.

That's a good one.

That was great, Pop.
Watch this!

-Nice move.
-Thank you.

Hey guys!
How's the hooping?

Bear! We hooped! We did it!

-Really?
-Yeah! Watch this!

[high tempo music playing]

[cheering]

That was great, guys!

We are sooo good.

Soon we will be hooping masters.

Otters from all over the woods
will come to learn from us.

And we will teach them.

We love that practising thing.

Come on, Pip.
Let's do it some more.

Yeah. Yeah. Let's try for
a lot more spins this time.

-Like five hundred.
-Really?

See you guys later.

-Bye Bear!
-Come on.

Let's go to the kitchen.

Okay.
We have our berries.

Now what do we
need for the pie crust?

Hmm... Let me think...

[Shadow laughing]

Did you hear that? That
sounded like Shadow laughing.

[Shadow laughing]

Yes, that's her alright.

Hmm...

Let's go and find her.
Come on.

Shadow?

Shadow?

I know she's around here.

Hmm...

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

she'll appear. Ready?

Hey, you big ol' fuzzy fella!
I'm over here!

Oh!
[laughing]

Hello. Shadow!
It's so good to see you.

So, what have you
been doing today?

Oh, I was just practising a jig
in the corner

with a little patch of sunlight,
Bear.

Ooh! That sounds like fun.

Hey, Shadow, do you have
a story for us today?

I certainly do, Bear.

Just watch.

[humming the song tune]

-He, he, he.
-Woof!

Wow!
That was a great story, Shadow.

And it showed all kinds
of things you could do that

might come in handy.

Yes it does, Bear.

But if you're going
to try lion taming

I suggest you
practice lots and lots!

It's not an easy job, you know.

I can imagine!

Well, I'm off.

But when you need another story,
just try and catch me!

[laughing]

-Thanks, Shadow!
-Bye.

[chuckles]

Uhh...

Now, what was I doing?

Oh, yes, the ingredients
for the pie crust.

Come on.

There.

Everything I need for my pie.

Well, maybe a few more berries.

I wonder how Ojo's doing
with her berry picking?

[Ojo's gasping]

Bear! Bear! Bear!

There's something out here!
There's something out here!

Come out here, quick!

Please! There's something in
the bushes. C'mon. Hurry!

Ojo! Huh?

-Ojo!
-Bear! Hurry!

Ojo! What is it? What's wrong?

Bear! Bear! I...there,
there's something in there...

I saw something in there.

Ojo? Where?
What are you talking about?

In...in... in there, Bear.
It's a monster, I think.

Ojo, take it easy.

Now, there are no such
things as monsters.

Now calmly,
tell me what happened.

Okay. Okay. Um.
I..

I was picking
berries right there.

[stutters]
..And... and...

I heard something
moving inside the bushes.

And I looked and there were
these two really big eyes!

And they were looking
right at me, Bear!

Okay. Okay, tell you what!
I'll look.

-You stay right there.
-Ok, you look.

Oh! I see who it is, Ojo.

Oooh? Oh, no.
Is it a scary monster?

'Cause you said there's no
such thing as scary monsters.

It's not a monster, Ojo.

It's...

Rabbit.

-It's Rabbit?
-Hi Rabbit.

Rabbit, why did you do that?

Oooh...

You were picking berries?

Ha! Well, I'm glad it was you.

[rabbit hopping]

-Bye Rabbit.
-Bye, Rabbit.

Oh, brother.
[exhales]

It was just rabbit
inside the bushes?

How will I ever get to be
a big bear

if I can't even
pick berries by myself

without getting scared!

Oh, I'll never be big!

Ojo, it's okay to be scared.

Everybody's scared sometimes...

Really?

Even you, Bear.

Yup, even me.

Now,
why don't we take your basket

full of these delicious berries

and you can help me
make that triple berry pie?

[laughing]

Well, okay, Bear.

And you know, even if I
did get a little bit scared,

I still picked a whole bunch of
really good berries, didn't I?

You sure did, Ojo. Come on.

[slurping]

[burps]

[burps]

That pie was really good.
Bear.

Yes, it was.

Hey, Bear.
You know, I was thinking...

What, Ojo?

Well, I was thinking that
when I woke up this morning,

I didn't know how to
pick berries,

or bake,
or other things, either.

But now I do.

That's right, Ojo. You practised
a lot of big bear stuff today?

Uh-uh, umm...

By the way, can I have another
piece of triple berry pie, Bear?

I think that eating triple
berry pie

is a very important
thing for big bears

to know how to do.

[laughing]

Yes, Ojo, you are right.

That is very
important for big bears.

Now, how big a piece?

[background music]

[laughing]

[exhales]

Wow! Some day, huh?

Why don't we go up and tell
Luna all about it. C'mon.

Oh! There she is!

-Hello, Luna.
-Hello, Bear.

I was just about to throw
my light on the houses below.

And how was your day
in the Big Blue House?

It was great, Luna.

Ojo wanted to practice
being a big bear,

so we went berry picking!

Aaah, Berry picking!
How wonderful!

Yeah, and she got so good at it,

that she picked all the berries
for our pie, all by herself!

Oh! And Pip and Pop?

[laughing]

Well,
they got some new Otter hoops.

They couldn't "hoop" at first,

but they got great at it.
With a little practice!

[laughs]
That's great.

You know Bear,

it took some practice
for me to learn to rise

and set over the earth.

-It did?
-Oh! Yes.

And peeking out from behind the
clouds took a few tries as well.

Wow!

I didn't know that.

You sure make it look so easy.

Why thank you. Bear.

Hey, Luna, would you
sing the "Goodbye Song"

with me before you go?

I'd love to. Bear.

it a little bit better

that's okay too! Bye!
