00:00Owl's Story
00:00Wise Owl lived in the hollow oak tree in the middle of the wood.
00:10It was very old and very untidy, and cobwebs hung in festoons from the ceiling.
00:15Wise Owl spent most of his time in the study with his books of wisdom.
00:19He'd always loved reading, ever since he was a small owlet.
00:24One evening, just as dusk fell...
00:27A storm's brewing somewhere.
00:31There'll be a gale tonight.
00:33I must shut up all the windows or my books will get wet.
00:38Woo!
00:40Woo-hoo!
00:48Oh, what was that?
00:51Hedgehog, get up and see what's the matter.
00:54I believe our house has blown down.
00:56Oh, the old Chimbley's blown off.
01:01That was a mighty great noise for a little Chimbley.
01:08My goodness!
01:11It'll blow my whiskers off.
01:12Woo-hoo!
01:13Oh, what if it blows the house away?
01:24Woo-hoo!
01:27I can't find my home!
01:29Woo-hoo!
01:31My house has gone!
01:35My house!
01:36Where is my house?
01:38To-hoo!
01:39Woo-hoo!
01:39Woo-hoo!
01:40Woo-hoo!
01:41Woo-hoo!
01:42Woo-hoo!
01:42Woo-hoo!
01:43My books!
01:44My books!
01:45My books!
01:50I wonder what that crash was I heard in the night.
01:52I'll slip out and look.
01:54Look, I want to try my new galoshes.
01:56Woo-hoo!
01:57Woo-hoo!
01:58Woo-hoo!
01:59Woo-hoo!
02:00Woo-hoo!
02:01Woo-hoo!
02:02Woo-hoo!
02:03Woo-hoo!
02:04Woo-hoo!
02:05My feet are quite dry.
02:06Woo-hoo!
02:07Woo-hoo!
02:08I feel like a duck.
02:09Woo-hoo!
02:10Woo-hoo!
02:11Woo-hoo!
02:12Oh, no!
02:13Oh, poor Wise Owl!
02:15Wise Owl!
02:17Wise Owl!
02:18Wise Owl!
02:19We must all do something.
02:24Yes.
02:25Er, let's do something.
02:27Should we invite him here, do you think?
02:29Until he finds another house.
02:30No!
02:31Here?
02:32Are you mad?
02:33He'd break all our cups and saucers with his wings.
02:37And want to sleep all day.
02:39Besides, his ways are not our ways.
02:44No.
02:45I suppose he wouldn't do.
02:47Huh!
02:47It would be a calamity!
02:49He must have a house of his own.
02:51Suppose we go out and look for one for him.
02:54Huh!
02:55Look!
02:56That's a good sign, Grey Rabbit!
03:00But although they looked to the right and the left, high up and low down, they couldn't
03:07find a hollow tree.
03:09Squirrel jumped high among the treetops.
03:12Hare leapt high on the ground.
03:15And little Grey Rabbit ran with her nose in the air, sniffing and hunting.
03:19But there didn't seem to be a house to spare anywhere.
03:24Oh dear!
03:25Oh dear!
03:27I wonder where he is.
03:29Hmm.
03:30Somewhere about.
03:31I don't want to see him.
03:32Let's all go different ways.
03:35Then, if we haven't found a house by tea time, we'll go home.
03:38And have plum cake for tea.
03:40Oh!
03:41And hot butter toast.
03:43Ready!
03:44Steady!
03:45Go!
03:46Ha!
03:47Ha!
03:48Mushrooms!
03:49Mushrooms!
03:50Oh!
03:51Scarlet suits me.
03:53I'll make them into beads.
03:54Hollow.
03:55Um…
03:56Mmm.
03:57Mmm.
03:58Hmm.
03:59Where's Grey Rabbit?
04:02Is she home yet?
04:02No.
04:03She'll come soon.
04:04Hmm.
04:05It's getting dark.
04:05Oh.
04:06I lost count of the time.
04:09Where's Grey Rabbit? Isn't she home yet?
04:13No, she'll come soon.
04:15It's getting dark.
04:19Oh, I lost count of the time.
04:23It's dark already.
04:25I don't go home now.
04:30Grey Rabbit!
04:32Coo-wee!
04:33Coo-wee!
04:35Did you call?
04:37We've lost Grey Rabbit.
04:40What in the world is she doing out as late as this?
04:43She's looking for a house for you, as a matter of fact.
04:46A house for me?
04:49I'm going to live in your woodshed.
04:52What?
04:53It is warm and comfortable.
04:56And there is plenty of food about.
05:00Ah, supper.
05:03Oh, Jemima!
05:08Now I'd better go off and find Grey Rabbit, I suppose.
05:12Good night.
05:14Phew!
05:16He's eaten all our supper.
05:18Better to eat our supper than eat us.
05:21Woo-hoo!
05:24Grey Rabbit!
05:26Woo-hoo!
05:31I couldn't find her.
05:33Oh, poor Grey Rabbit.
05:36I'm going to sleep now.
05:37Don't disturb me.
05:39You two must go out and find her.
05:41But how can we if you can't?
05:44Your eyes are sharper than anyone's, wise owl.
05:46Hurry up, roll up your sleeves here and take that silly necklace off, squirrel.
05:50Off you go.
05:51Find her.
05:54Ordering us about.
05:55Cheek!
05:56I do wish Grey Rabbit would come back.
05:59Where's my stick?
06:00Where's my compass?
06:01Grey Rabbit!
06:03Where have you been?
06:04Wise Owl has been looking for you all night.
06:07Oh, I'm so sorry.
06:08It got too dark, you see.
06:10But I found a house for Wise Owl.
06:13Oh, thank goodness.
06:15Is it a nice house?
06:17Owl's in the woodshed and he won't go away unless it's a nicer house than ours.
06:22It's very nice.
06:23It's in a beech tree.
06:25But it is rather dusty.
06:27Couldn't we spring clean it for him while he's asleep?
06:29Yes, and put all his books inside.
06:32Then he'll have to go.
06:33Yes, Hare.
06:34That's a very good idea.
06:39It's a fine tree.
06:41I shouldn't mind living here myself.
06:43But where's the door?
06:46There.
06:47Hmm.
06:48He won't want to fly down there.
06:50I don't think he'll change from the woodshed.
06:53Um, excuse me a moment.
06:55I've forgotten something.
06:57Oh, he just doesn't want to rub and scrub.
07:00They filled their buckets from the pool nearby and they scrubbed and mopped the doors and
07:06walls and ceilings.
07:08They washed the little shelves and bookcases and lined them with fresh beech leaves.
07:13Wise Owl will be able to keep all his books here and there's a place for his blotting paper
07:18and ink and his tape measure and thimble.
07:20What's that for?
07:21It's a saw.
07:23You never thought, but I did.
07:24Thought of what?
07:25That wise Owl would never live here with that door.
07:29He'd stop in our woodshed forever.
07:31I'm going to make him a proper door.
07:33One he can fly right in and out of.
07:35And that's what he did.
07:38A very neat little door it was, too.
07:40And Hare was very pleased with himself.
07:43Until he slipped on a bar of soap and tumbled right downstairs.
07:46Wah!
07:47Ow!
07:47Ow!
07:48Ow!
07:48Ow!
07:49Ow!
07:49Ow!
07:49Ow!
07:50Ow!
07:50Ow!
07:50Ow!
07:50Ow!
07:51Ow!
07:51Ow!
07:52And of course, they had to collect the books from the oak tree and the feather bed and
07:55the frying pan.
07:57Hare found the sealing wax and squirrel the candlesticks.
08:00And Grey Rabbit found Owl's nightcap dangling in the nettles.
08:04But nowhere could they find the little silver bell.
08:12Hmm.
08:13Fit for a king.
08:16Boop!
08:17Boop!
08:17Ha ha ha!
08:18No wonder the first cuckoo is always heard in this wood.
08:21We leave our housewarming presents here and go and fetch him.
08:25It's a shame about Mouldy Warp's bell.
08:28It once saved my tail.
08:29Bell?
08:31Did you say bell?
08:33I was looking for a new chimbley for our house when I heard a tinkly tinkle and there
08:39was a mouse playing with Owl's bell.
08:42Did you ever hear the like?
08:44A mouse with Owl's bell!
08:46Lucky for him, Wise Owl is asleep in our woodshed.
08:49And what's all this?
08:51A new house for Wise Owl.
08:53The oak was blown down in the gale.
08:54Just what I told my missus.
08:57Great oaks do fall, but little acorns weather the gale.
09:03Wake up, Wise Owl!
09:05There's a new house for you in the wood!
09:08Don't want a new house!
09:11Go away!
09:13Your books are on the shelves!
09:16Your cuckoo clock's ticking!
09:18Your nightcap is on the bed!
09:20And your silver bells are tinkling by the front door!
09:25Did you say you had put my tree up again?
09:29But when Wise Owl saw his new house, he liked it even better than the old one.
09:37He walked upstairs and looked in all the cupboards and counted all his books.
09:42He threw open the round window and looked up at the great roof of the tree above him and
09:47knew he was home.
09:49Woo!
09:50Woo!
09:50Woo!
