0:01:10 > 0:01:12Bedtime, Lucy! >

0:01:12 > 0:01:15OK, Mum.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Hi, everyone!

0:01:36 > 0:01:40- ALL: HI, LUCY! - Nelson! What happened?

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Oh...I'm fine. No need to fuss.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Nelson fell over! It was quite funny, actually!

0:01:49 > 0:01:55- A little slip, that's all.- Will someone tell me what's going on?

0:01:55 > 0:02:01We thought that instead of a story, you might like a gymnastic display.

0:02:01 > 0:02:06And Nelson volunteered to start off with his triple-back-somersault.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09- I'm a bit rusty.- Dear old Nelson!

0:02:09 > 0:02:14I like gymnastics, but perhaps a story would be easier.

0:02:14 > 0:02:19- I tried to tell him! - I should have warmed up first.

0:02:19 > 0:02:25- How about a story while Nelson recovers?- Good idea, Boris!

0:02:27 > 0:02:31This is a story about my friend Melanie.

0:02:31 > 0:02:36'When the first snow began to fall in the forest,

0:02:36 > 0:02:40'Melanie Moose knew it was nearly her birthday.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43'But she wasn't happy.'

0:02:45 > 0:02:47OWW!

0:02:48 > 0:02:53It's no fun being a moose! I'm so big and clumsy!

0:02:56 > 0:03:01I wish I could spin like a squirrel. I suppose I could try!

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Oo-o-oh!

0:03:06 > 0:03:10Jumpin' jellybeans! That's the strangest dance I've ever seen!

0:03:10 > 0:03:16- Whatever are you doin', Melanie? - Oh...nothing, Randolph.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19She's jumping for joy, Randolph!

0:03:19 > 0:03:25- Am I right in thinking it's your birthday soon?- Well...yes...

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Melanie's birthday!? Now, that's exciting!

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- We must have a party! - There's a cake to bake...

0:03:32 > 0:03:37- And presents to make! - Oh, well...I'll be seeing you.

0:03:37 > 0:03:42Bye, darlin'! Now, where were we...? Oh, yeah - about these presents...

0:03:42 > 0:03:47'We were all so excited, we forgot whose birthday it really was.'

0:03:48 > 0:03:50CHEERFUL WHISTLING

0:03:52 > 0:03:56# Doop-dee-doo! Doop-dee-doo! #

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Yee-HA! My finest mushroom!

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Melanie's gonna be SO pleased with her present!

0:04:04 > 0:04:09'Beverley Beaver was looking for the tallest tree in the forest.'

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Hello, Mr Tree!

0:04:12 > 0:04:18You're just what I'm looking for - tall and handsome!

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Tim-ber! CRASH!

0:04:45 > 0:04:52'Meanwhile, I was busy mixing up a special blend of sweet things!'

0:04:52 > 0:04:59Now, let me see. Two drops of... Mmm! ..delicious lavender honey!

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Three drops of...

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Slurp! Mmm! ..maple syrup!

0:05:08 > 0:05:10And four... No, FIVE...

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Ooh...! Oh...

0:05:26 > 0:05:29I wish I could leap like a salmon.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37What's she doing now?

0:05:37 > 0:05:41It's her birthday tomorrow. She's probably taking a bath.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43'Night, Melanie!

0:05:54 > 0:05:59'The next day, when the sun rose over the snowy mountains,

0:05:59 > 0:06:01'it was Melanie's birthday!'

0:06:01 > 0:06:04I wish I could fly like an eagle.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Morning, Melanie!

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Oh, hi, Beverley.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Oh, Randolph! I'm so sorry!

0:06:14 > 0:06:19- ALL: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MELANIE! - We've each got you a present!

0:06:21 > 0:06:26The biggest, juiciest mushroom in the forest - just for you, Melanie!

0:06:26 > 0:06:30'Melanie didn't like mushrooms very much.'

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Ohh. Eh...thanks, Randolph.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39And THIS is from ME!

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Oh...it's a log. That's nice...

0:06:43 > 0:06:47And guess what Boris the Bear got you!

0:06:47 > 0:06:51Oh, Boris! You shouldn't have!

0:06:51 > 0:06:54- ..And you didn't.- Oops!

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Oh, dear! I seem to have eaten it all!

0:06:59 > 0:07:05Thanks, everyone. Now, if you don't mind, I'll go and look at the snow.

0:07:07 > 0:07:13- I don't get it!- That was one grade-A prime timber log!

0:07:13 > 0:07:17High-cut, close-trimmed, in-season mountain pine!

0:07:17 > 0:07:19And that was no ordinary mushroom!

0:07:19 > 0:07:25I just tasted the honey to make sure it was the way I like it!

0:07:26 > 0:07:30You said it right there, Boris, old buddy!

0:07:30 > 0:07:34We've given Melanie something that we'd like ourselves!

0:07:34 > 0:07:40- I still don't get it! - Not what MELANIE really wanted!

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Oh, I get it!

0:07:42 > 0:07:47What would Melanie want more than anything else in the world?

0:07:48 > 0:07:52She wants to fly like an eagle, leap like a fish

0:07:52 > 0:07:57and spin like a squirrel! Uh... But that's impossible for a moose!

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Maybe not!

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Tim-BER!

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Hi, Melanie!

0:08:31 > 0:08:35We got you another present. Close your eyes!

0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Now you can fly like an eagle. - Leap like a fish!

0:09:50 > 0:09:52And spin like a squirrel!

0:09:52 > 0:09:58But best of all is to have a birthday...like a moose!

0:10:01 > 0:10:07A snowboarding moose! What a great story, Boris!

0:10:09 > 0:10:14- Are you all right now, Nelson? - Quite recovered, thank you.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17When can we see your triple flip?

0:10:17 > 0:10:22- Ohh...!- I'm sure Nelson could do one if he wanted to.

0:10:22 > 0:10:27But let's stick to stories - that's what you do best!

0:10:27 > 0:10:31That's right, Lucy! Just one more thing...

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Bed? I know.
