"Long Ears"
This is me - Long Ears.
I'm just out for a walk, to work up an appetite.
Later my mum will call me - to have lunch.
I was walking and walking and walking... and then I saw it...
So multi-coloured!
I don't know what it's called.
You're a flying thing!
I also will fly now.
But the cuckoo said "Rabbits can't fly..."
"...because they are pedestrian".
Who is this?
Little Bear, Little Wolf
...and Little Fox
What are they talking about?
"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, Catch a bunny by the toe."
Is this about me?
Then they started to look for something.
They looked and looked...
Looked there...
...and looked here...
Looked everywhere.
Little Fox looked under a leaf.
Little Wolf looked under a bush.
And Little Bear looked with his eyes closed.
He was in the dark.
But he looked anyway.
He looked... and looked...
...and found.
I thought - "Who did he find?"
He found me.
I said - "Thank you".
They asked - "What for?"
I said - "For finding me".
They said - "Well, you're welcome."
Then they said - "Let's look again".
I said - "Yes, let's...
"...find somebody else".
Little Bear asked...
"Who's going to look with his eyes closed?"
Little Fox said - "I don't want to".
Little Wolf said - "I don't want to either".
Little Bear said - "I don't want to the most!"
Then I said...
"I will look with my eyes closed".
...and I closed my eyes.
But...
I couldn't see anything at all...
...so I opened them.
We started to look.
...and we found...
this... multicoloured...
...flying thing!
Little Fox cried - "Let's catch her!"
...and we began to catch her.
We were catching her and she was flying around.
Little Wolf said that he can also fly.
It's just that today was non-flying weather.
Then all of them were called to go home...
...for lunch.
Little Fox said - "Let's go to my place for lunch."
I said - "Thank you... what's for lunch?"
Little Fox said...
"Something very, very delicious."
We reached her house.
Little Fox asked her mum...
"Mum, what do we have for lunch?"
Little Fox's mum looked at me and said...
"Today for lunch we are having rabbit with gravy."
Little Fox said - "The day before yesterday it was rabbit with gravy,
yesterday - with gravy!"
"I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna!"
"I want a strawberry ice-cream for lunch!"
I said... "Good bye..."
"...I'm going."
I wanted to see what Little Wolf was having for lunch.
But Little Wolf was learning to fly,
together with that flying thing.
He was learning...
...but his studies were going nowhere.
Nowhere at all.
Probably because it was non-flying weather.
Meanwhile, Little Bear... was having honey for lunch!
And I was invited to lunch.
They told me - "Sit down!"
So I sat down.
And Little Bear sat down, too.
Then, for some reason, I suddenly flew away.
It turns out that bunnies can also fly.
If it's good flying weather, of course.
Then I fell down.
The water there was...
...very froggy.
They asked me - "Where've you flown from?"
I said - "I've flown here straight from lunch."
They asked me - "Where were you flying to?"
I said - "I don't know where,
...because I never finished my flight.
I fell down."
They asked me - "Are you aquatic, or not?"
I said - "I don't know"
They said - "Let's check."
"Jump to us, we'll wait for you underwater."
Then they dived.
Suddenly...
Suddenly, someone sniffed me.
And I got scared!
It turned out that I was aquatic, on a leaf.
And I floated off.
I ran into some aquatic Little Ducks.
We floated together a bit...
Floated, and floated...
...and floated to shore.
A hen stood there.
She was not aquatic at all,
so she waited for her ducklings on the shore.
The one who'd sniffed me wasn't scary at all.
We got to know each other.
He said - "Come visit me."
I said - "What?"
He said - "Do you want to visit me? Do you?"
And I asked - "Where do you live?"
And he said -
"We'll find out where I live."
And he led me to his home.
To visit.
At his home, his dad asked me -
"Why are you walking so far when you're so little?"
I said - "I'm walking to work up an appetite.
Afterwards, my mum will call me to lunch."
And he said - "You probably really want lunch by now."
And I said - "Yes."
And he said - "Run home at once,
because your mum has probably long since been calling you.
You've probably long since worked up an appetite."
Then I started to run.
No, first I said - "Goodbye!"
And then,
I ran!
I ran, and ran, and ran...
and...
...I heard my mum calling me.
I ran up just in time for lunch.
It turned out that I'd worked up a very good appetite!
Because I'd been walking long enough.
