[Panting, gasping]

[Groaning]

That makes the score a tie.

No problemo.

Your serve.

[Groaning]

[Thumping]

Oops!

Nice one, Moppy, but don't

worry I'll find it.

Hmm, where did it go?

[Barking]

Oh, huh?

[Laughing]

Thank you!

Oh.

Hey Lisa, did you find the

ball yet?

Oh yeah, I found the ball and

look what came with it!

Hey, little guy.

[Barking]

[Laughing]

He was hanging around out

back.

[Laughing]

Well, he's wearing a tag on

his collar.

Looks like his name is J.R.

[Barking]

I wonder who he belongs to?

He sure does know his name.

Aww, he's following me!

You are so cute!

Hey, I know who J.R. belongs

to.

Who?

You!

"Finders keepers, losers

weepers."

Since you found him, you get to

keep him.

I guess that means you're

mine.

This has got to be the best

finders keepers anyone ever

scored!

Moppy!

Don't forget, you've got your

violin lesson in 15 minutes.

Okay, dad, coming!

Time to go.

How about you?

We're right behind you.

[Vacuuming]

[Whimpering]

Don't be scared.

That's just mom vacuuming.

You'll get to meet her when

she's finished.

Come on, I'll show you my room.

[Barking]

Hmm?

Huh?

Hey, everybody, come meet

J.R.

J.R., this is Corduroy, Rosetta

and Buckaroo.

Whoa!

Whoa, a real puppy!

What an adorable, petit

chien, Lisa!

[Laughing]

Whoa, you are friendly,

aren't you?

Very friendly, Buckaroo.

[Laughing]

That tickles!

Hey Kit, come meet our new

puppy.

[Barking, meowing]

Don't worry J.R., it might take

Kit a little while to get used

to you, you are a dog after all.

Hi J.R., I'll play with you.

[Barking, laughing]

Wheee!

Yippee!

Oooh, la la!

[Barking, panting]

Is J.R. really ours?

Uh-huh, I found him so it's

Finders Keepers.

What more could a bear ask

for?

Ah, this little fellow has

quite a tail.

He can wag it just as fast as I

can wag mine, right J.R.?

Hey, maybe he knows some

other tricks.

Let's see.

[Barking]

Okay J.R., sit.

No J.R., that was roll over.

J.R., come.

[Barking]

Hmm, he's not very obedient yet,

is he?

See J.R., this is how you

sit.

[Barking]

Uh!

I don't think he knows how to

sit yet.

That's okay, we can teach

J.R. to do all kinds of things.

And now, ladies and

gentlemen, Lisa and the amazing

J.R.!

[Cheering]

Watch as the amazing J.R.

does everything I command him

to do.

J.R., sit!

Rollover!

Speak!

[Barking]

And now, the amazing J.R. will

jump through this hoop.

Ready, J.R.?

[Barking]

Jump!

[Cheering, clapping]

And now, Lisa will have the

amazing J.R. do his final trick

with the help of brave Buckaroo

and remarkable Rosetta!

[Cheering]

[Drumming]

Alley-oop!

[Cheering]

[Drumming]

[Cheering]

I bet we can train J.R. to do

anything!

Maybe he can bring you your

slippers.

Can you do that, J.R.?

[Barking]

What is this?

You had better train J.R. a

little better than this.

I am not a slipper!

[Laughing]

[Knocking]

Lisa, can you move your toys

so I can vac--

[Panting]

One of your toys just wagged his

tail.

[Barking]

And what's your name?

His name is J.R.

Please, please mom, can we keep

him?

He's really good and smart, and

well behaved, and he doesn't eat

much, and you won't even know

he's here because he's really

quiet.

[Barking]

No, J.R., I said you're very

quiet.

Shhh!

[Barking]

Uh, hmm.

Well, I'm not so sure about

quiet, but he's certainly is

cute.

Okay, Lisa, into the kitchen for

a snack.

You too, J.R.

Can J.R. have some milk and

cookies?

Puppies can't have the same

food as us, hon, but how about

some water, J.R.?

Now, why don't you start by

telling me how you got J.R.

I found him behind our

building.

He was all by himself, so Moppy

said I get to keep him.

And how did Moppy come to

that conclusion?

"Finders keepers, losers

weepers."

If you don't take care of

something, and you lose it,

however finds it deserves to

keep it more than you do.

Just because someone finds

something it doesn't mean that

it truly belongs to them.

I think that we should call the

animal shelter, or ask the

neighbours if someone's missing

a puppy.

But it's Finders Keepers.

I can take much better care of

J.R. than his last owner.

I'm sure you'd take very good

care of J.R., Lisa, just like

you take good care of Corduroy.

Sometimes, accidents happen.

Do you remember the time you

lost Corduroy?

Yes.

The subway conductor found

Cordy and took him to the lost

and found.

How would you have felt if

that conductor decided to keep

Corduroy for himself?

I guess you're right, mom.

Let's check his collar again.

Sometimes an owner will put some

identification on the other side

of the tag.

Here we go, a phone number.

Dialling

Hello, I'm calling because we

have a little, lost puppy here.

I'm so glad!

Don't you worry, we'll be over

right away with little J.R.

Good news!

You found J.R.'s owner?

The greengrocers across the

street.

[Barking]

J.R., you're back!

I was so worried about you!

Thank you so much for

returning J.R. safe and sound.

You're welcome.

My son took J.R. to the park

to play catch, but the minute he

took him off the leash, that

little rascal ran off on his

own.

J.R. isn't he most obedient

dog.

Whenever we tell J.R. to stay he

runs off.

He just seems to like doing

everything the opposite way.

Yeah, I noticed that about

him, too.

I'll miss you, little guy.

CORDUROY, THINKING: Me too.

Is there anything we can do

to show you how grateful we are,

Lisa?

Well, can I come and visit

J.R. sometime?

Of course, you can!

Hey, maybe you can even help

me with J.R.'s puppy training?

That would be great!

Let's go to the park, and see

if we can teach J.R. to fetch.

Please, can we go, mom?

Absolutely.

[Barking]

Coming!

Well, Corduroy, even though

we're not Finders Keepers, it

looks like we still found a new

friend.

CORDUROY, THINKING: What more

could a bear ask for?

[Laughing]

♪

[Whistle blowing]

[Humming]

Before he could take even one

bite of the delicious food, up

floated Anansi, the spider.

Anansi poked his head into the

water and longingly watched

Turtle savour the wonderful

banquet all by himself.

And so, Anansi learned that

when you try tricking someone,

you sometimes might find

yourself getting tricked, in

return.

And that, was the story of

Anansi and Turtle.

[Clapping]

Thank you, that was great!

CORDUROY, THINKING: I loved

that story.

Is there anymore?

There's lots and lots of

stories here.

I want to hear more about

Anansi.

Okay, but I don't know where

to look.

That's right.

Thanks.

I know.

We'll ask the librarian.

Could you help me please?

I'll try my best.

Where can I find more stories

about Anansi?

Let's check the computer

catalogue.

There, I've typed in the word,

Anansi.

Now the computer will tell me

where we can find other stories

about him.

There's lots.

Anansi and the Firefly, Anansi

and the Tiger, Anansi and the

Witch--

I like tigers.

Roar!

Now the computer says these

stories are in the fairy and

folktale section, which is this

way.

Hey mom, Cordy and I are

looking for some books to read.

Now this section is

organized alphabetically by

title.

Do you know what that means?

Well, I know my ABCs, so I

guess the names of the books

that start with "A" will be at

the beginning of the shelf.

And the names of the books that

start with "C" will be at the

end of the shelf.

That's right.

So if we're looking for Anansi--

Books about Anansi will be

near the beginning of the shelf.

Oh, there's a whole bunch of

Anansi books here.

Thank you!

You're very welcome.

Here's Anansi and the Tiger.

Wow!

Can I pick a book, too?

Sure.

But, how?

If you see a book with

pictures you like, pick that

one.

Okay.

BOTH: Found one!

[Laughing]

I bet this book will be

funny.

It's called, The Clown with the

Frown.

You've picked Goldilocks and the

Three Bears.

Yippee!

Three bears, perfect for a bear

like me!

Then strap on, Cordy, time to

checkout these books.

I see you've chosen Anansi

and the Tiger.

That's a good one.

And we found two other books.

You know what, hon?

I think it's time we got you

you're own library card.

Really?

It's a big responsibility.

Do you think you're ready?

Yes, I always take good care

of my own books.

Remember, these aren't your

own books.

You'll be borrowing them.

That means that you have to

return your books to the library

in good shape and on time.

I can do it.

All right, then.

Could we start up a new

library card, please?

[Laughing]

Oomph!

And the baby bear said,

"Somebody's been sleeping in

my bed and there she is!"

Goldilocks woke up at once to

see three bears all staring down

at her.

"Ahhh!" screamed Goldilocks.

She jumped out of the little

bear's bed and ran out the door,

never to be see again.

Father bear and mother bear

spooned some of their leftover

porridge into baby bear's empty

bowl and they all sat down to

breakfast, and everything was

just right.

The end.

Hey, somebody's been eating

my cookies.

Uh-oh.

I wonder who did that?

Somebody's been drinking my

milk.

Why, there's hardly any left.

[Laughing]

Just like in Goldilocks and

the Three Bears.

It's Lisalocks and the Cordy

Bear.

[Whistling]

Oh, too hard.

Oh, this bed is too soft.

Hmm, someone's been sleeping

in this bed.

Ah, this bed is just right.

Oh my, someone's been

sleeping in this bed, hmmm.

Hey, someone's been sleeping in

my bed.

She must be Lisalocks.

[Groaning, laughing]

Yay!

LISA'S MOM: Lisa.

Goodnight.

I like being in my own bed

and I like having you as my

friend, but, when you read me a

story, Lisa, I get to visit

other places and meet new

friends.

Yeah, I like stories too,

Cordy.

Goodnight, Lisa.

Goodnight.

[Yawning]

[Clicking]

I was thinking of heading

back to the library, today.

I finished my book last night.

Me too.

Great, we'll good to the

library after breakfast.

I'll get my books.

Here, Lisa.

But, where's Goldilocks and

the Three Bears?

We just read that last night.

Uh-oh.

Help me look for it.

I don't see it.

Not here.

Keep looking, Cordy.

I'll try the rest of the

apartment.

Oh.

Hmmm.

Hmmm.

Oh no.

I'll just clear up the

breakfast dishes and then we

can head out to the library.

Everything okay, hon?

I borrowed three books from

the library but I can only find

two.

Did you take the book out of

the apartment?

I just read it to Cordy last

night.

Why don't you try looking in

your room again?

I looked there already.

Where could that book be?

We looked everywhere.

Whoa!

Ouch.

Why isn't the bed soft, here?

Hey!

You found the book!

Yippee!

It was here all the time!

It must have slipped between

the covers.

Lucky you found it.

Just imagine if the book stayed

lost.

What if lots of library books

got lost?

[Gasping]

Oh, no!

Whew, let's hope that never

happens.

We really enjoyed reading these

books.

Back so soon?

We're going to borrow other

books now.

That's what we are here for.

Can I use my own library card

again?

I don't see why not.

Come on.

What are we gonna read now?

Oh, lots and lots of stories.

What more could a bear ask

for?
