Oh!

-Thank you Tutter, and Sorry.

But, that's alright, Bear.
But, gee,

you don't seem to be
yourself today, Bear.

Not yourself! Umm, gee.

Maybe you should go
sit down on the couch.

Yeah, Bear,
you should go sit on the couch.

Hm... You know, Tutter,
that is a good idea.

Yeah.

Oh! I hope you don't mind
if I have a little sit down.

See. They don't mind, Bear. They
don't mind at all.

-Um, Bear?
-Hm?

Do, do you need some help?

No, no, Tutter.
That's okay, thanks.

Okay.

My goodness,
what was that noise?

Hey. Bear. Hi Tutter.
What's going on?

Hey, guys. Old Bear isn't
feeling too good today.

-Yeah.
-ALL: Oh!

ALL: Bear's not feeling well?!

No, no, but it's ok,

I'm going to
take some quiet time,

and lay down in
the living room.

And I should be

ALL: Well, Bye, Bear.

See ya Bear.

Wow! Bear
isn't feeling well.

Well, that's not good,

Yeah, and Bear's always there
to lend a mouse a helping paw...

Hey, hey you guys remember
that time

that I needed help
getting a drink of water...

Oh, yeah!

Very good. Um.

Tutter, can I turn on
the faucet for you?

If you wouldn't mind,
Bear! If you wouldn't mind.

Oh, thank you Bear! Thank you.

Oh ah ah ah.

[slurping]

[sigh of relief]

Water!

You know, it takes a big
mouse to ask for a little help.

Yeah. And sometimes it takes a
big Bear to help a little mouse.

Bear is always

Hey, I got an idea!

Why don't we do the
same for Bear?

You mean,
help him get some WATER?

No, no, no.
Help Bear feel better!

What did he say?

He said, let's help Bear feel better.

Yeah.

Great idea, Treelo.
Let's do it!

But how, Tutter?

Hm. I think I know what we
can do. I think I know.

Oh, hey! You can help, too.
Would you go and sit with Bear?

He'd like that. I think he'd
like that. Thank you everybody.

[laughing]

Alright guys, here we go!
I have a plan.

Now Treelo, you.

[gasps]

[running nose]

Oh!

Hello there. You know,
sometimes when your sick,

you can still have a
good time. Hm mmm. Just,

lying back and relaxing.

And thinking about
all your friends...

-Hello, Bear.
-Hm?

Hey, Ojo. What are you up to?

I'm here to help
you feel better!

That's ok, Ojo.
I'll be better in...

[running nose]

...no time.

I know, Bear, I know,
but you know what?

I want to help you
feel better right now.

Oh!

Well, remember that time, that
you helped me feel better once?

Remember that time?

And, and, and I was crying...

-What happened? What happened?
-Ojo fall down. Bear.

She fell. Are you okay, Ojo?

[crying]

Yeah. We were having so
much fun pretending to fly,

I thought maybe,
just maybe, I really could fly.

And, and, I can't!
[crying]

Poor Ojo.

Well, Ojo, there's something
I wanted to tell you. Um...

Bears can't fly.

Bears can't fly?

Nope!
Not even if we really want to.

I can't fly? But, but how come?

Well... bears and
children aren't like birds.

Birds have wings which
are special for flying.

When bears and children
jump from high places, we fall.

And when you fall from a
high place, you can get hurt.

I know, I know...

[crying] I can't fly!

Hm...

Um..um..Bear.
You can cuddle with Snow Bear

until your all better, okay?

Oh... Well thank you, Ojo.
Thank you very much.

Your welcome.
Bye, bye Bear. Bear?

Hm?

[smooch]

-Feel better, okay?
-Thanks Ojo.

-Okay.
-Bye.

A nice cuddly Snow Bear can
sure help make you feel better.

Helping. Yeah, helping.

And everybody needs help sometimes.

And there are a lot
ways to help. Like,

oh... erm… Oh!

You can help a friend
build a castle out of blocks...

[block arranging sound]

Then,
you can help him knock 'em down.

[block falling sound]

Oh! Then you can help
him put the blocks away.

Yeah! Helping someone
makes them feel good.

And if you're doing the helping,
then you feel good too.

[sniffing]

[gasps]

Hello, Bear.

Hey, Pip. Hey, Pop.

-We have what you need to feel better...
-Yeah...

Special delivery for Mr. Bear.

-Yeah, right here.
-A package!

How nice! Eh...
What made you think of this?

-But, don't you remember?
-That time the mail came...

-Umm... remind me...
-Well!

You had just gone
to the mailbox...

Yeah,
and you did that funny dance.

And then...

-Hello, Bear...
-Hello, Otters.

Whatcha got there, Bear?!

This? All this?
This is the mail.

-The mail?!
-That's the mail, Pop.

-Yep, that's the mail, Pip.
-Yep. Any mail for us?

Oh! Well, let's see now.
We have... a postcard...

-A postcard!
-For Ojo.

Ooooh.

-And, we have...oh, a package...
-Package!

-For Treelo.
-And we have... a letter...

-Letter!
-For Tutter.

Ohhhh... and...
and what else Bear?

Well, that's it, nothing else.

No mail for us? No letters? No
cards? No packages?... For us?

[exclaims]

-Woe is me...
-Woe is me, too...

Woe is us! Oh...

I think Pip and Pop are a little
disappointed but I have an idea.

Pip, Pop?

Yes, Bear?

How would you two like
to deliver the mail today?

Deliver the mail? Us?
Deliver the mail? YEAH!

-Neither rain...
-Nor snow,

Nor dark of night will stop us Otters
from gettin' the mail there... RIGHT!?

-Right!
-See ya later, Bear.

[laughing]

Bear, when you made
us postal delivery otters...

That made us feel really good!

Yeah,
everybody loves getting mail.

That's why we're
delivering something to you!

-That's right!
-Well thanks guys,

thanks for thinking of me.

Open it! Open it! Open it! Come on, Bear!
Please! Open it! Please! Please!

Ok, ok... Let's see now.

Oh! Look, it's a clam.

PIP & POP: A get well soon clam!

Now you sill get well soon,
Bear.

Yep, it always works, always.

Just like the clam says.

Well, thank you guys.
I think it will.

It will make you feel better.
Works for Otters.

Yep,
we'll be back to check on ya.

-Bye, Bear.
-Bye! Thanks!

[laughing]

You know, sometimes it can
be good not to feel so good,

because your friends
can be so nice...

[inhales]

Even with a clogged up nose,
this clam sure smells funny.

-Hello, Bear!
-Hi, Treelo.

Bear?
Treelo have something for you.

You have something for me?

You don't have to
give me a present.

[chuckle] Not present. Bear.

-Something Bear give to Treelo.
-Something I gave to you?

Hm mmm.

Wonder what that could be?

You'll have to
remind me, Treelo.

Bathtub. Bear! Bathtub... remember?

The bathtub!

-Now, I remember...
-Yeah...

-So, Treelo, what are you doing?
-Playing with bubbles!

-Your playing with bubbles!
-Yeah!

-That sounds like fun!
-Fun bubbles!

Yeah, I like bubbles too!

-Whoaaa! What's going on?!
-Treelo.

-What's going on?!
-Treelo, see the bubbles?

There, there too many bubbles,
and there going over.

No! What will Treelo do?

It's okay. Treelo, Treelo,
its okay. Just pull the plug.

-The plug. The plug.
-Eh? Eh?

[stutter]

Treelo, what's the matter?

I'm scared! Drain...
Big sucking sound.

Treelo's afraid that he'll
get sucked down the drain.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Trello, sucked down the drain.

No, no, Treelo, Treelo,
Tree.., Treelo, its okay.

-Really?
-The drain is just for water.

-Yeah?
-And Treelo is not water.

-Treelo not water?
-Hm hm.

-And the drain is small...
-Small.

-And Treelo is big!
-Big.

You're too big to go down
the drain even if you wanted to!

[gibberish]

-Yeah! Treelo no water!
-Right.

Too big.

[water gurgling]

I'm okay... I'm here!
Treelo is still here!

-Treelo, is still here!
-Yeah!

Treelo. Bear made Treelo
feel good-Treelo not water...

Treelo big! And Bear hug Treelo.

Well, I'm glad I could help,
Treelo.

So, so Treelo want to
give Bear something.

Yeah... Treelo give a hug.

Oh...

Thanks, Treelo.

You know, I think I'm
feeling better already!

Really! Your better?

Everybody. Bear is
feeling better? Everybody.

Really? Is that true? Really?

Wow! Look, he's going to get up.
It's a miracle!

The miracle of the clam!

Ah... ah... ah-ah...

[sneezing]

-Excuse me.
-Bless you, Bear!

Well, I don't think
I'm ready just yet.

It's ok, Bear,
it's ok. It's happened to me

if you can believe it. Yep,
it happened to me once, Bear!

-Really?
-Yeah, I remember that.

Long..time..

I think Tutter is looking
a little tired, don't you...

you know, when you want to do something,
and you don't feel good...

-Boy...
-I think its one of those

times for Tutter.

-Oh, boy...
-Tutter?

Huh?

Um maybe you
should take a little rest...

I think it's time you put down
the cheese my little friend.

No Bear! I... No, Bear.

Hey, it looks like Bear

You know, I think we did
a pretty good job

of helping Bear feel better.

Yeah, yeah,
and you did a good job, too. Ha!

-Yeah.
-Thanks for sitting with Bear.

Yeah, Bear, sleeping.

Yep,
our Get Well Clam did the trick!

-It was probably snow bear!
-My hug! My hug!

No, no, I don't think so..no,
no, no way.

Yeah, yeah, I bet you it was,

Quiet everybody! Quiet!

Don't you all see that bear
is trying to... sleep?

Hi guys...

Oh-ho.

-Hi, Bear.
-Hi, Bear.

Sorry, sorry to wake you up.
Sorry to wake you.

No, no, no, that, that's
ok.

I think I will take
one more little nap.

But before I do,

I just want to say thanks.
Thanks for helping me.

Bear..don't mention it
you big old lug...

we didn't do anything..

-And thank you, too.
-Thanks.

Now could, could you
guys tuck in my blanket?

-Sure… Bear..
-Otters, you guys get the end.

-Okay, Tutter.
-Sleep tight, Bear.

[snoring]

[snoring]

[surprised]

Huh?

[normal sniffing]

[inhale & exhale]

Hey, I can smell again!

Where is everybody!
They must of gone off to sleep.

You know, that's the great
thing about

getting a little
help from your friends.

They'll always make
you feel better...

[sniffing]

Hey, what's that smell?

[sniffing]

Huh! It's you! It really is!

Oooo, and you smell so good!
But, then, you always do!

[sniffing] Ah!

Whoah! You know, who I
haven't seen yet today?

My good friend, Luna. Come on!

Let's go up to the attic,
and find her.

[music]

Ah! There she is! Hello, Luna!

Hello, Bear.

I was just sending my moon
beams across the night sky.

But tell me how was your day
in the Big Blue House?

Well, I was a little stuffed up
and under the weather today.

-Oh, really?
-Ummm..

I'm sorry to hear that, Bear.
What did you do about it?

Well, I had some quiet time,
and a lot help from my friends.

Really, Bear? Ah, love and caring
is the best medicine of all!

Yeah, sometimes,
when you're not feeling so well,

it feels so good to have,
even just a little bit

of help, from your friends.

Well, it just goes to show,
I guess, that...

when you help others,
they will help you.

Yeah, isn't that great?

Well, Luna, would you help
me sing... the Goodbye Song?

It would be my pleasure, Bear.
