It's a sunny day on Big Barn Farm.

-There's Petal.

-Hi!

-There's Gobo.

-Hmm.

-There's Dash.

-Hmm.

-There's Digger.

-Hmm.

But what's all this?

It's a mystery.

I hope it's not dangerous.

PETAL: But what's it doing here?

I think it's an enormous nest for an enormous bird.

Huh! A nest!

Look at all the spiky, pokey bits. It's too uncomfortable for a nest!

Such a large collection of wonderful and interesting things

-can only be one thing, thinks Dash.

-It's buried pirate treasure!

It can't be buried treasure - it's not buried, for a start!

I know what it is -

it's all been left in our farmyard,

so it must be a pile of presents for us!

Presents?

Come on, let's have a closer look

and see what we've got.

DIGGER SNIFFS

Oh...

Mmm.

DIGGER SNIFFS

What's this?

What's this in here?

GOBO CHUCKLES

Ooh...

DIGGER LAUGHS

Oh, it's me!

Oh, what's under here?

Oh... Ah...

Oh...

Look at me! Don't I look lovely?

PETAL GIGGLES

Oh!

(ECHOING:) Hello!

Now, this looks useful.

DIGGER PANTS

Hey!

There's another dog in here!

Wow!

Oh, this'll be so handy.

Oh! Hi, there!

Oh, no!

Everyone, run away!

This way!

What's happening?

What is it?

What's up?

Oh, dear!

Digger looks a bit worried.

I wonder what's up.

Calm down, calm down!

What is it, Digger?

What did you see?

There was some kind of creature sitting by the pile of presents! Oh!

Oh, dear! What did it look like?

It was bright blue!

A blue creature?

That IS strange.

Let's have a look at it.

Can YOU see what Digger's talking about?

I think so.

I can see it! I can see it!

Where's Digger?

He's the one that saw it first.

(I'm here!)

The creature's very quiet.

He might not be very friendly.

I think we'd better have a closer look at this strange creature.

Hmm.

WE know what it is, but does the Farmyard Bunch?

I don't know what that is.

It could be dangerous.

That's true.

We should ask someone who might know what it is.

Why don't you ask Madame, Petal?

FRENCH MUSIC PLAYS

-# Moo!

-La-la!

-# Moo!

-La-la!

-# Moo!

-La-la!

# Madame la cow! #

I 'ave no idea what it is you are describing.

What don't you ask Mack the horse?

Ah...thank you, Madame.

Yes, maybe Mack will know.

What you're describing is...

a bear!

I've heard of bears.

They can be very dangerous.

Is that true? Is it dangerous?

Hmm, well, that depends.

There are two kinds of bear - one is a teddy bear,

and they are cuddly

-and fun to play with... > ALL:

-Hooray!

The other kind are REAL bears.

HE WHINNIES And they are big and dangerous.

But how can we tell what kind of bear it is?

It's very simple.

Real bears growl.

Well, that seems pretty straightforward.

Come on, Farmyard Bunch, let's take another look.

Go, go, Gobo!

Bye, Mack!

Oh...ah...

Hmm.

It's very hard to tell what kind of bear it is from here.

It isn't growling.

That doesn't mean it CAN'T growl. It might just not be feeling...

-very growly.

-Someone should go and have a closer look.

Well, Digger found it,

so he should go...

if you want to, Digger.

I can do that!

I can do that!

Well done, Digger! You ARE a brave pup!

Careful, Digger. He could pounce at any moment!

H-Hello. Um, I'm Digger. Do you want to come and play with us?

Um...

he's not saying anything!

A-A-Ask him about the presents, Digger.

Um, do...do you want to play with our new presents?

'Urrr...'

-It growled!

-Run for it!

It must be a REAL bear.

Are you sure?

He doesn't look very happy.

And he doesn't look like he wants to play with us.

Oh, maybe we should keep out of his way.

We could still play with the presents on the other side

of the pile.

That's true. The bear and us could have half each.

Good thinking, Dash.

# They'll be friends for ever down at Big Barn Farm! #

There are a lot of things, aren't there?

I think we should choose just one present each.

-That's a good idea.

-I agree.

One present it is.

I know which present I'M going to choose. I want this!

-What does he want that for?

-It's a dog! Just like me!

Don't be silly!

-That's not another puppy - that's your reflection in a mirror.

-Huh?

I'm choosing this.

It's a pram, isn't it?

It's a chariot.

Oh, yes - of course it is(!)

I can keep useful things like straw in it

and pull them round the farm.

PETAL GIGGLES I've got an even better idea!

PETAL GIGGLES Whee...!

That looks like fun.

He's very clever. When I move, HE moves.

Digger, it's you!

-Well done, Gobo.

-Huh?

PETAL GIGGLES

Yay!

PETAL CHUCKLES Whoo...!

Well, I think I can guess what Gobo chose.

They're woolly horn-warmers.

-Aren't they socks? They're supposed to be for your feet.

-That's silly.

If they were for your feet, there would be four of them.

He's got a point there. Now, what's Petal chosen?

-What have you got there, Petal?

-I think it's an old broom.

What could she want that for?

This is perfect!

Oh, I know! It'll come in handy after one of Petal's mud baths

for brushing off the mud. Good choice, Petal!

I think the real bear should get a present too.

Are you sure? He is very grumpy.

Maybe he wouldn't be so grumpy if he got a present.

I agree with Digger.

All right. Why don't you ask him what he'd like?

Oh-oh! That means going near the bear again.

Rather you then me, Digger.

Hello, Mr Bear.

-Would you like a present?

-I think he's asleep.

Are you asleep, Mr Bear?

GROWLING Oh!

That is one grumpy bear.

I think he's rude.

Well, I don't know. He seems to spend a lot of time on his own.

Maybe he's just lonely.

Lonely or not, he clearly doesn't want a present

or to spend time with us.

He's growling again.

Calm down. Calm down.

That's not the bear growling. That's an engine.

The farmer's coming.

What's going on here?

The farmer's loading everything on to the trailer.

He's taking everything away.

That time of year again, is it?

Hey, Mack, what do you mean?

Every year the farmer clears out the barn

and takes all the old stuff he doesn't want to the recycling centre.

So that's what the pile is.

It's all the stuff the farmer's taking for recycling.

ANIMALS: Oh, I see.

It wasn't presents for us after all.

I suppose we'd better put our presents back on the pile.

But the farmer lets the Farmyard Bunch keep their favourite things.

They've turned his old junk into toys.

Now that is recycling.

Well done, Farmyard Bunch.

But what about the bear?

LOW GROWLING

Digger wants to keep him.

I wonder why.

Hmm. He still sounds grumpy, Digger.

He may be a bit of a grumpy bear, but maybe if he stops being lonely

he'll stop being grumpy.

Good thinking. He can join you and the rest of the Farmyard Bunch.

There goes the farmer - off to the recycling centre.

We've been watching him. He still hasn't moved, you know.

Don't worry. He'll join in soon. He's a bit happier already.

How do you know that?

He's not growling.

CHUCKLING

That's all for now. See you soon down on Big Barn Farm.
