[humming]

Oh, hi!

It's so good to see you.

And I was wondering when
you were going to get here,

because I'm just
about to check the mail.

Look!
We've got mail.

Oh, yes!

[upbeat music]

So, let's see what's
in the mail today.

Let's see now.
Oh, yes!

It's a package for um... Bear.

That's me!

[laughter]

Well, come on in!

Now,

let's see what's
in this package.

I just love opening packages.

Look! It's the Spanish
language tape I ordered.

And just in time!

My friend,
Ursa is going to call later on.

She lives in Spain.

And now I can talk to her in
her own language -- Spanish.

She's gonna be so
surprised when--...

Hm?
[sniffing]

What's that smell?

[sniffing]

[sniffing]

It's you!

[smells]

Tell me, did you just wake up?

Because you smell all
fresh and comfortable.

[laughter]

Well, come on,
let's go listen to my tape.

Dah!

Tutter, I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were there.

Bear! Bear! I can't talk!

[coughing]

Tutter, I'm sorry,
I can't hear you,

um, could you say that again?

I said, I can't talk.
Bear, I can't talk!

[coughing]

Whoo! Tutter,
seems like you can't talk.

This sounds like a sore throat.

Let's go see what we can do...
come on, Tutter.

Yes, yes. Doc,

okay, okay, now let me
make sure I've got this right.

I'm talking to old Doc Hog.

He's all comfy and warm.
Yes.

I'll make sure he gets plenty
of rest and a lot of quiet time.

Okay, thank you, Doc,

goo--yes, yes.
Doc, thank you, y-yes.

I'm sure that's true,
okay, you, too, bye-bye!

Tutter's throat hurts so
bad he can't even talk.

Okay, Tutter, now lie back,
relax, all comfy?

Now, to make sure
that you rest your voice,

this is a special bell...

you use this bell anytime
you need something,

just ring it,

and I will come running to
get you whatever you need.

Okay?

Ok.

Now you rest,
relax and get some "quiet time."

See you later!

[music]

[bell ringing]

Yes, Tutter?

Yes, yes, yes, okay,
okay, okay, yes, yes.

What is it?
What is it?

Your throat?

Yes, your throat,

yeah, well, Tutter,
I know your throat hurts.

No, no, you throat and
the cup - no the cup!.

Oh! I think Tutter wants
a drink of water.

I was right!

Lemme go over to the sink here.

Let's see.
Fill it up with some water.

There. Okay...

Here you go, Tutter...
here is your cup of water.

You're all set.

Now you sit back,
relax and get that quiet time.

See you later.

[mid tempo music]

[bell ringing]

Yes, Tutter?

Yes, yes, Tutter, yes,
yes, Tutter, okay, okay.

What is it?

You're sucking,
you're sucking the cup.

You're su-no,
you're, no, you're...

The cup is sucking.
No, your-

I think Tutter
wants a straw for his water!

[bell rings]

I was right!

Okay, now,
where do I keep the straws?

Ah!

Okay, here's one.

There.

Okay, Tutter, now here is
your glass of water and a straw,

now you sit back,

you relax and you
get some quiet time.

Okay?
See you later.

[mid tempo music]

[bell ringing]

Yes, Tutter?

What is it?

I'm sorry I can't hear you.
What?

Thank you, Bear.

I think Tutter's trying
to say "thank you, Bear."

You're welcome, Tutter.
Now you relax.

See you later.

[sipping]

Gee, it's really hard
for Tutter to tell me

what he wants
when he can't talk.

Good thing there are other ways
to communicate without talking.

Communicate.

Communicate!

It's a big word
but communicate means

expressing yourself-- you know,

letting people know how
you feel and what you want.

And there are different
ways to communicate.

Like, for instance, um!

You can use your hand
to talk or make signs.

Or, you can write a letter.

Or, use the telephone.

Or, you can sing a song,

honk a horn, bang a
gong or even... ring a bell!

And, remember,

if you ever want to
communicate with me,

you know where to find me!!

♪ Here I am
Come and talk to me ♪

♪ You're someone
with something to say ♪

♪ I can see ♪

♪ I'm hangin' out
At my big blue home ♪

♪ And I'd love
to hear your voice ♪

♪ On my telephone ♪

[telephone ringing]

Now, who could that be?

Hello?

♪ Wow! It's you!
This is really swell ♪

♪ You're comin' through
As clear as a bell! ♪

♪ Now, there's a thing or two
I'd like to share ♪

♪ Speaking as your friend
And as a bear! ♪

♪ Well,
you can write me a letter ♪

♪ call me on the phone ♪

♪ Bake me a cake
Or sing me a song ♪

♪ Make a sign with your hand
You know I'll understand ♪

♪ When you feel
you've got to yell ♪

♪ And all I ask is
that you please ♪

♪ Be clear as a bell ♪

[bell ringing]

♪ Clear as a bell, yeah ♪

♪ I wanna know
When you're feelin' sad ♪

♪ Flash me a smile
To show me you're glad ♪

♪ But there are times
Only words will do ♪

♪ To say that you love me
And I love you ♪

♪ So just look up and laugh ♪

♪ Wink with your eye ♪

♪ Bark like a dog
Or buzz like a fly ♪

♪ Ooh, it doesn't really matter
How or why ♪

♪ Cause you've
got a tale to tell ♪

♪ And I just love
the way you're ♪

♪ Oh, so clear as a bell ♪

[bell ringing]

♪ Clear as a bell, yeah ♪

♪ Well, you can whisper
You can shout ♪

♪ Grab a drum and beat it out ♪

♪ And there won't be any doubt
When you are ♪

♪ Clear as a bell! ♪

But, what do you think?

How do you like to communicate?

What do you think?

I like to write
letters to my Daddy.

And if we find out some really
important news,

we'll call each other up.

I write something to
my best friend when I'm away -

like at camp and stuff.

I used to have a pen-pal
when I was in grade.

It was a 5th grader.

Always I talk to my Daddy on
the telephone

when I'm at somewhere.

Great stuff!

But, I better start learning
at least a few words of Spanish

before my friend Ursa calls.

Now, let's see where
did I put my tape player?

Oh, there it is!

Ok, now, lemme just turn it
around, okay,

open it up, put the tape in.

Okay, now, let's get started.

Hello and welcome
to Bear-litz Spanish.

The Spanish learning program
especially for Bears.

Isn't this exciting?

Soon we'll be speaking
another language.

Yes, soon you'll be
speaking another language.

Just listen and repeat.

"Hola!" means "hello."

-Can you say "Hola!"
-"Hola!"

I'm learning Spanish.
Isn't this fun?

Now isn't this fun?

"Como estas?"
means "how are you?"

Can you say " Como estas?"

"Como estas!" Ha!
This is great!

Hey, Bear!

Hey, Pip. Hey, Pop.

What are you doing with
this tape player, Bear?

Oh! Well, you see, guys,

I'm learning a few
words of Spanish.

My friend, Ursa, who lives
in Spain, is going to call me.

So I want to learn some Spanish,

so I can talk to her
in her own language.

PIP & POP: Cool, Bear!

Boy, that Bear, he's always
learning something, yeah.

Say something, Bear.
Say something!

Well, actually, I just started.
But I can say "Hola."

"Hola" means "Hello" in Spanish.

[exclaims]

Can we learn with you?
Yeah, we love Spanish!

-Sure, guys.
-But, Bear?

Yeah?

What's Spanish?

Well, you see guys,
around the world,

people talk to each
other in different ways.

They may say the same things
we do, like "Have-a-nice-day."

But, in China they
say it in Chinese...

[in Chinese language]

Chinese words!

And,
in Morocco they speak Arabic.

[in Arabic language]

Arabic.

In Norway,
they speak Norwegian...

[in Norwegian language]

-Norwegian!
-Yup.

You can say the same thing,
but in different ways.

B-but, Bear!

Let's get started learning
how to say things.

In Spanish!

Okay, okay.

Now, remember, guys,
just "Listen and Repeat."

Just listen and repeat.

[exclamation]

Now, let's try some expressions
'specially for Bears.

"These berries are delicious!"

"Estas franbuesas
son deliciosas!"

"Estas franbuesas
son deliciosas!"

OJO: Come on, Treelo!

That sounds like Ojo and Treelo.

I've got to go see
what's going on.

I'll be right back.

Ok, we'll keep working on it,
Bear.

Yeah, no problema.

-That's very good.
-Thank you very much.

[clamouring]

Treelo! Treelo! Treelo?
What's wrong?

Ojo, what's wrong with Treelo?

I didn't do anything.

Treelo. Treelo.

Calm down and tell
me what's bothering you.

Monster!
Monster!

Monster?
What monster?

It's not my fault that
a deep sea monster came along

and dragged Treelo's
boat under the water.

I see.

Ojo, did Treelo say it was okay
for a monster sink his boat?

Well, um, not really,
he just started screaming.

Treelo, Treelo, Treelo Treelo,
Treelo, Shh, Treelo,

if you don't want a monster
to sink your boat,

then you have to tell Ojo -
using words.

Words?

Words.

Ok.
Words!

[clearing throat]

Treelo not want monster.

Treelo not want boat
to sink!

There you go.

See how using words

is a much better way to
get you what you need?

Right, Ojo?

Okay, okay.

Treelo, there's no monster
sinking your boat

-but --
-Yay, no monster!

How about if we sail off to...
Ojo Island?

Ojo Island?

Treelo want to
go to Treelo Island!

-Okay, Treelo Island.
-Yeah! Treelo Island

Yeah, Treelo Island is good.
And then we'll go to Ojo Island.

Okay, then we go to Ojo Island.

And we'll look for
buried treasures...

Sailing, Sailing,
over the bounding main...

Hey, you know who
I haven't seen today?

My good friend, Shadow!

Maybe if we look real hard

and sing a song together,
she'll appear.

Come on, sing with me!

♪ O Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where could Shadow be.. ♪

[Shadow laughing]

Hey, you big ol' Bear!!

I'm over here!

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

I was just surfing on a feather

that was floating
across the floor.

That sounds like fun.

Well, Shadow, I was
wondering -

do you have
a story for us today?

Yeah, Bear! I've got
a great one to tell you!

Just watch.

What a great story!

I never realized the meadow
had so much chatter going on.

Bear, there are so many
wonderful conversations

going on in the meadow --

the croaks and the quacks

and the buzzing of the bees.

[chuckle] Well, I'll have
to stop by and have a listen.

Well, I'm off - But when
you need another story -

just try and catch me!
[Bear laughs]

Bye, Shadow.

My friend Ursa
will be calling soon.

We'd better get back downstairs.

I have some Spanish to learn.

"Hola" means "hello."

"Como estas?
means "how are you?"

"Hola" means "hello."
"Como estas?" means...

Hola, Pip and Pop.

"Como estan?" I said, "Hello,
how are you?" in Spanish.

"MuyBien!" Bear.

That means "real good!"

Hey, you've learned some
Spanish. Isn't that great!?

-Let's learn some more!
-Okay, okay.

"Alguien estuvo
dormiendo en mi cama"

means "Somebody has
been sleeping in my bed!"

"Alguien estuvo
donniendo en mi cama"...

You guys are really getting
good at this Spanish.

You're really
showing an interest.

[telephone ringing]

No.
I'm hearing bells.

Is that Tutter, again?

No, Bear.
It's the phone!

-The phone! The phone!
-The phone! The phone!

It's Ursa!

"Hola, como estas"
"Hola, como estas" This is it!

Can we listen, too. Bear.
Can we? Can we? Please? Please?

Sure, sure.

Hola, Ursa?

Hola, Bear.

Ursa, como estas?

I said "how are you?"
Isn't this great!

Estoy muy bien, Bear.

-...what did she say?
-She said she's very good.

Bear, yo estoy
coleccionando honey dippers.

Honey dippers?

Yeah, and she's been collecting
honey dippers...

...y quisiera mandarte uno.

And she wants to send you one.

Really? That's great!
love honey dippers!

Hey, Ursa, could, um,

hey, guys, tell her, you know,
tell her in Spanish?

Sure. Bear!

Ursa, Bear quiere que le mandes
un honey dipper, por favor?

-Si, por supuesto.
-Muchos gracias.

De nada.

See? There are different ways
to communicate

and you can learn them.

Amamos espanol!

What did they say?

Pip and Pop said,
"We love Spanish." Yeah!

[All laughing]

[bell ringing]

Yes, Tutter, yes, yes, okay,

okay, okay, okay,
alright, Tutter.

Are you ok?

What, what, what, what?

The sponge, the sponge is
your pillow, so what, what?

You think Tutter's
worried about the pillow?

What, what do you need?

Puff? Blown? Fluff!
Do you need it fluffed?

I'm right!

Okay, here you go, there

okay, then, there.

All nice and fluffed.

Is there anything else you need,

because you really should
get some sleep now, Tutter.

Good, okay, night-night!

Sleep tight!

[bell ringing]

Tutter, it's okay,
you don't have to thank me.

But, Bear...
I just can't get comfortable!

Tutter, what did you say?

Well...let's see, I said,

"I just can't get comfortable."

The bed's all lumpy
and there's crackers everywhere.

Tutter, you've got
your voice back!

Yeah.

[laughter]

I guess I did!

Yeah. That's great, Tutter.

Yeah! It's great, Bear!

Yeah, now see what
resting your voice can do?

Yeah, Bear, and this special
little bell was just great

to let
you know when I needed you!

[laughter]

Well,
why don't you put it away now,

until next time when
someone else needs it.

Okay?

-Um, okay, Bear.
-Good.

Now, it's time for you to get
some sleep in your mouse hole.

-Come on.
-Good idea, Bear.

-Thanks for everything.
-There you go.

[background music]

Ah! There she is!

Hello, Luna.

Bear!

How are you, tonight?

I was just saying
hello to the world.

But tell me, how was your day?

Everybody had a lot to say...

So, there was a lot of talking

going on around
the Big Blue House?

Well, sort of.

See, Tutter lost his voice...

...but he had a little bell

to call me when he
needed something.

I bet he called you a lot.

Yes, yes he did.

And Treelo?

Treelo learned you
have to express yourself

with words and let people know

how you feel and what you want.

And Pip and Pop?

What did they do today, Bear?

They helped me learn Spanish so
I could talk to my friend, Ursa.

Ursa.

Yeah, hey,
you want to hear what I learned?

[clearing throat]

Hola, como estas?

-That means...
-Hello, how are you?

Yeah.
You know Spanish, too, Luna?

I know many languages, Bear.

After all, I am the moon for the
whole world and all its people.

True, True.

Well, Luna, would you like
to join me in a goodbye song?

I would love to,
Bear, I would love to.

♪ -Hey, this was really fun
-We hope you liked it, too ♪

♪ Seems like we've just begun ♪
