00:00This is the story of Little Grey Rabbit and the Wandering Hedgehog.
00:05One day, when Little Grey Rabbit was walking in the lane,
00:09she saw a tiny spire of blue smoke twisting up from the hedge.
00:14She walked very softly, on tiptoe, for who knows who it might be.
00:21I haven't got a coat and I haven't got a shoe.
00:24I haven't got a penny and I haven't got a shoe.
00:27I don't care a jot, I've got my cooking pot
00:30and the whole wide world is mine to wander through.
00:34Grey Rabbit, I see you hiding there, come out.
00:39You don't know me, do you?
00:41No, I've never seen you before.
00:43I am a wanderer, I travel the world.
00:47Oh, yes, I've heard Mrs. Hedgehog speak of you.
00:51You must be brush the wandering hedgehog.
00:53True.
00:54In winter, I sleep under yonder oak tree across the pasture.
00:58But the rest of the year, I enjoy myself seeing life.
01:02Will you taste my good broth, Grey Rabbit?
01:04You'll never have tasted anything better, I'll wager.
01:07Sit here.
01:12It's delicious.
01:17Grey Rabbit, will you do me a favour?
01:20Oh, yes.
01:20Did you hear my song?
01:23Well, it's true.
01:24I haven't a coat.
01:26And I wondered if by any chance you have a cast-off, left-off,
01:29done-with, forgotten and thrown-away coat of Mr. Hare's that I could have.
01:32Oh, yes, of course.
01:34I should be real obliged, Miss Grey Rabbit.
01:37There's a nice red coat of Hare's.
01:39It will be rather large, I fear.
01:41But I could alter it to fit you.
01:43Oh, thank you kindly, Grey Rabbit.
01:45And in return, I'd like to give you a present.
01:49I cut it meself from an elder stem.
01:52Well, try it.
01:53Little Grey Rabbit sat by the fire with the wandering hedgehog
02:01while he told her tales.
02:04The smoke blackened her face,
02:06and she tore her apron on a briar,
02:08but she didn't care.
02:09It was lovely sitting in the lane with the ragged little hedgehog.
02:12So there you are at last, Grey Rabbit.
02:17We're as hungry as hunters.
02:19Where have you been?
02:20Yes.
02:21Oh, squirrel, hare.
02:23I've been talking to Brush, the wandering hedgehog.
02:26Eww, that dirty old ragamuffin.
02:30That beggarly old hedgehog.
02:32He was very nice.
02:34And you mustn't call him a dirty old ragamuffin.
02:36Dirt is only good Mother Earth after all.
02:39And he gave me an elder whistle to play, and, um...
02:43Go on.
02:44I can see by your eye that there's something else.
02:47Well, yes.
02:48He hasn't a coat, you see,
02:50and asked if we could give him one.
02:52A coat?
02:53Hmm.
02:54Whose coat, may I ask?
02:56Yes.
02:57Whose coat?
02:58Yours.
02:59Your coat, hare.
03:00What?
03:01My coat?
03:02I have two coats.
03:03As you very well know,
03:04a blue one for weekdays
03:06and a red one for Sundays.
03:07And I shan't give either
03:08to any old wandering hedgehog in the lane.
03:11And I'm hungry.
03:14I suppose you had dinner with that hedgehog.
03:16Well, yes, I did.
03:18You'll end up a raggle-taggle gypsy yourself
03:20if you go on like this.
03:21Look at you.
03:22I tore my apron on a briar
03:24and I helped Brush to stir his fire.
03:27Well.
03:29Well.
03:30Well, well, well.
03:31Thank you for the coat, hare.
03:39It'll suit me nicely.
03:41Eh?
03:41You can't have my coat.
03:43Well, anybody's coat will do.
03:47Try Medrasweet.
03:48Do you like the smell, hare?
03:50Um.
03:51Well, I hardly think that...
03:53Come along.
03:53Take a deep breath.
03:55It won't hurt you.
03:55See anything?
04:05Yes.
04:06Oh, yes.
04:07Them's my wanderings.
04:09They get into my fire
04:10and come out in the smoke.
04:12All I have to do is remember them,
04:14sit back and watch the smoke curling upwards.
04:18Wonderful.
04:20Wonderful.
04:21Now, what about a cup of tea, musk of hare?
04:23Um.
04:24I don't mind if I do.
04:25Now.
04:26About this coat.
04:27I don't want to rob you,
04:28but if you can give me a coat for the hard weather,
04:31well, I shall say thank you.
04:35You know, the hedgehog isn't such a bad fellow.
04:38Oh?
04:39And how would you know?
04:40Oh.
04:41I just happened to meet him when I was out.
04:43Yes.
04:44I can smell the smoke.
04:47And you've got a smudge on your cheek.
04:49And I expect you put a log on the fire hare.
04:53Well, yes, I did, as a matter of fact.
04:55I say, can we get a coat for that hedgehog?
04:58He'll feel the cold when the frosts come.
05:00Poo, that dirty old ragamuffin.
05:03Oh, I don't know.
05:04I like a bit of dirt myself.
05:06After all, it's only old Mother Earth.
05:12Will you have a bite of supper with me, Miss Squirrel?
05:15Oh.
05:16Oh.
05:17Yes, please.
05:18Yes.
05:33And thank you for the mushroom.
05:36It was delicious.
05:38Squirrel and Brush, the wandering hedgehog,
05:41sat by the fire,
05:42and Brush told her of his travels,
05:44while Squirrel listened wide-eyed.
05:46About this coat, Miss Squirrel,
05:49if you could see your way to getting a coat for me,
05:51I should be most obliged.
05:54Oh.
05:55I'll see what I can do for you.
05:57Ah, so you've been to see the wandering hedgehog.
06:04But he's such a dirty old ragamuffin,
06:08I'm surprised you went.
06:10Really?
06:11We must get a coat for that poor animal.
06:14Oh, there you two sit without a care in the world,
06:16and nobody spares a thought for the poor thing.
06:20So, at last we're all agreed.
06:22Little Grey Rabbit looked for some cloth
06:25to make a coat for the wandering hedgehog,
06:28but could find only a few scraps.
06:30So Hare set off to ask all their friends
06:32if they had any to spare.
06:35Good morning.
06:36Hmm.
06:36It may be for you,
06:38but there's a poor relation of yours down the lane
06:40without a coat on his back.
06:42Him?
06:43That wandering hedgehog?
06:44Certainly.
06:45So, what are you going to do about it?
06:47I've got no coat,
06:48and neither is our fuzzy peg.
06:50Hmm.
06:50You have smocks?
06:52Well, maybe you'd better have a word with my missus.
06:55Here.
06:56Will that help?
07:00That wandering hedgehog?
07:02Aye, I know him.
07:03The tales he tells.
07:05It may be there's a piece of black velvet,
07:07if that's any use.
07:11Something to make a coat for the wandering hedgehog?
07:14That old vagabond.
07:16Here's a cushion.
07:17It's good, strong cloth.
07:19Oh, thank you.
07:20Thank you, old fellow.
07:23Coat indeed.
07:25Me off.
07:28Read this.
07:32The tailor and cutter.
07:35Let's see.
07:36Ah.
07:37How to make a coat out of bits and pieces.
07:41Hurrah!
07:43This is splendid.
07:44Look.
07:45It's got a picture of a patchwork coat.
07:48So Hare went to all the other houses to find more pieces.
07:52He brought home such a collection of scraps and oddments that Grey Rabbit threw up a pause
07:58when she saw it all.
08:00She stitched them together as Squirrel and Hare sorted them into shapes and colors.
08:04When at last it was finished and Little Grey Rabbit held it up, it was so beautiful that
08:10even Hare said it was like a rainbow.
08:12They were so excited that they went out in the moonlight there and then to take it to
08:17the wandering hedgehog.
08:18Well, Squirrel and Hare and Little Grey Rabbit, have you brought it?
08:29Yes.
08:30Look.
08:30It's nicer than any coat of mine.
08:33It's the nicest coat there's ever been in the whole wide world.
08:36A coat of twenty colors.
08:39Twenty at least.
08:45Here.
08:46There's something for you in exchange.
08:48Oh, thank you, Brush.
08:49Oh.
08:50Oh, don't you go opening it till you're home.
08:53I'm off on my travels now.
08:55I was only waiting for the coat.
08:57I knowed it was coming, see.
08:59And the new moon.
09:00I knowed that was coming, too.
09:02Oh, Brush, I wish you could stay.
09:09Goodbye, my dear friends.
09:11Goodbye!
09:12And good luck.
09:13I've got a fine coat and I haven't got a shoe.
09:17I haven't got a penny and I haven't got a sue.
09:20I don't care a jot.
09:21I've got my cooking pot.
09:22And the whole wide world is mine to wander through.
09:32The three friends waited till his voice died away in the distance.
09:36Then home they ran under the new moon.
09:39And when they lifted the lid of the basket,
09:41a little brown nightingale flew up and into the apple tree
09:45where she sat and sang on the topmost branch.
