00:00...and the little grey rabbit, and tells how little grey rabbit lost her tail.
00:08Squirrel! Pear! Wake up! Breakfast's ready!
00:15Good morning, grey rabbit!
00:17Oh, not lettuce again!
00:20Good morning, grey rabbit. Where's the milk?
00:22It hasn't come yet.
00:24We shall have to get another milkman.
00:30Late again!
00:32Oh, I nearly never got here at all. Such a dreadful thing has happened.
00:36There's a weasel come to live in the wood.
00:38A weasel?
00:40Saw him only this morning as I was milking the cow in the farmer's field.
00:43Had to hide in the long grass and pretend to be a stone.
00:46Oh, dear, you must take care of yourself.
00:49Even if we do have to go without milk.
00:52Bless your heart, my pretty dear.
00:54You shall have your milk so long as old hedgehog has some prickles left.
00:58Well, good day.
01:00Take care of yourself, and warn those two grumblers in there.
01:04Huh!
01:05Why was the milkman so late?
01:06He says a weasel has come to live in the wood, and it frightened him.
01:09Ah! Who's afraid of a weasel?
01:12A weasel could never catch me.
01:14I can climb.
01:15I should like to see anyone follow me up a tree.
01:18Ah!
01:19Ah!
01:19Ah!
01:21Ah!
01:21The weasels!
01:23Oh, grey rabbit, open the door.
01:26Just a crack.
01:27Why me?
01:28Because you're the nearest.
01:30Go on.
01:30We're behind you.
01:31Oh, it's only Robin Redbreast with the letters.
01:42Have you heard the news?
01:43Ha!
01:43About the weasel.
01:44Oh, we're not afraid of him.
01:47I saw him this morning early.
01:48He's a good big fellow with very sharp teeth.
01:51I'm off to warn the others.
01:53Oh, dear.
01:54Perhaps I'd better not go out today.
01:56But I need a new teasel to brush my tail.
01:59It's quite tangled.
02:02Mm.
02:02And I want some carrots.
02:04I'm tired of lettuce for breakfast.
02:06Oh, very well.
02:08I'll go.
02:08Oh, if only they would eat lettuce.
02:29It would be so much...
02:30Little rascal, wait till I catch you!
02:39Oh, what a narrow escape.
02:42I shall never dare go there again.
02:46I wonder if we could grow our own carrots.
02:49I'll ask Wise Owl how to do it.
02:52Where have you been?
02:53Did you get my carrots?
02:54Yes, I was picking them when the farmer saw me and...
02:57And did you get my teasel brush?
02:59I got three.
03:00One for you and two for the store cupboard.
03:02The farmer nearly caught me.
03:04Really?
03:05Then you must learn to run faster like me.
03:08Or climb up a tree like me.
03:10Or grow carrots in our own garden.
03:19If only there weren't a weasel in the wood.
03:21But she couldn't help turning head over heels
03:24and standing on her head for joy
03:27at the dew and the moonlight.
03:29Her feet left a trail of footprints on the ground.
03:32So she crossed the brook,
03:34turned round backwards,
03:35hopping and skipping and twisting
03:37and turning in and out of the trees till...
03:40A truce, Wise Owl.
03:45Will you tell me how to grow carrots
03:46like those in the farmer's garden?
03:48What will you give me in exchange?
03:50Oh, dear.
03:52I haven't brought anything.
03:54Yes, you have.
03:56You can give me your tail.
03:58My tail?
03:59My little white tail
04:01that I've had ever since I was born?
04:03Your tail.
04:05Or I shall not help you.
04:08Very well.
04:11You shall have it.
04:12You can grow carrots,
04:19but you must have carrot seed.
04:22Where can I get it?
04:23From the shop at the edge of the village.
04:25Oh, but I never go there.
04:27It's too dangerous.
04:28Every afternoon,
04:29the old dame falls asleep.
04:32You must get into the shop then.
04:33But how shall I know carrot seed
04:35from dandelion seed?
04:37And...
04:37And...
04:37A-ha!
04:46A rabbit has gone this way.
04:51Oh, must have tumbled in and drowned.
04:54What ever have you done with your tail?
05:02Yes, grey rabbit.
05:04Where's your tail?
05:06I gave it to wise owl.
05:10Disgraceful!
05:12Disgracefulla.
05:14Disgracefullest!
05:15What a thing to do!
05:17I'd stay indoors if I were you.
05:19I wouldn't let anyone see me
05:21without my tail.
05:23But I must go out
05:23straight after dinner.
05:25Wise owl told me
05:26where to get carrot seed.
05:28Unless one of you...
05:31Oh, well.
05:31Oh!
05:55Ooh!
05:55Oh!
06:13Thieves! Thieves, Maria, can quickly help!
06:17Where are you going, little'un?
06:20I shall sow three rows of carrots, and the radish is right next to them,
06:28and then I shall sow the birdseed.
06:30And I should get hundreds of little yellow birds, and...
06:34Goodness me!
06:35Whatever's this? Hare? Squirrel?
06:38Oh, no! The weasel must have got squirrel and hare.
06:41I must save them, but how?
06:45Maybe.
06:50He's put them in a bag and dragged them off.
06:56Oh, if only I hadn't spent so long choosing birdseed.
07:00I shall need some more sticks after all. They'll be safe enough in there.
07:10That was a near thing. I might have ended up being someone else's dinner.
07:20Hare? Squirrel? Where are you? It's me.
07:24Here! Here!
07:26Save us, dear grey rabbit!
07:30Hare for lunch and squirrel for tea with acorn sauce is a treat for me!
07:36Upstairs and take this rope. Let yourselves out by the window and get straight home, quick!
07:52Squirrel for lunch and hare for tea and bones for supper is good for me!
08:00I'll roast them both together.
08:10Whoa!
08:11Oh!
08:12Oh!
08:13Oh!
08:14Oh!
08:15Oh!
08:16Oh!
08:17Oh!
08:18Oh!
08:19Oh!
08:20Oh!
08:21Oh!
08:22Dead.
08:23Now!
08:24Here's the oven!
08:25Here's the oven!
08:38What?!
08:39Get me down!
08:43Come here!
08:44Oh, grey rabbit.
08:55You saved us from the weasel.
08:58And if ever he dares to come here again, I'll...
09:01Oh, I'm not worried.
09:05After all, he wouldn't be able to catch you, Hare, as you're so fast.
09:09And you could scamper up a tree, squirrel.
09:12Oh, grey rabbit.
09:14Oh, we want to tell you we're sorry.
09:18We'll never be proud or rude again.
09:22But what if he does come back?
09:25Don't worry, we're all safe now.
09:28I gave him a dose of his own medicine and tied him up in his own sack.
09:32Hooray!
09:35So they sowed the seeds grey rabbit had fetched from the shop
09:39and had a fine crop of carrots and radishes.
09:42But no little yellow birds ever came up.
09:46Sometime I'll tell you how grey rabbit got her tail back again.
09:50There's some kind of stuff.
09:51I'm not sure.
09:51I'm not sure how bug them stays.
09:52There's a good thing.
09:53And when I'm looking back in my arm, it's a good thing.
09:55And if there's a good thing.
09:55Think about that.
09:56It's a great thing.
09:57I'm guessing you're going to tell you,
09:58that's very good.
09:59So if you were like,
10:00Oh, I'll tell you where you're going to be.
10:01You're a good thing.
10:02It's amazing.
10:03You're like, I mean, you're going to be a good thing.
