02:24smoke come on you two into the cave with you hurry up now
02:28but I want to play we've been in there all winter daddy
02:31there's a fire breaking out somewhere I can almost feel it
02:34what's the fire I hope you'll never know
02:55Oh, my God.
03:10Can we come out, Ralph? Is it okay if we come out? Can we come out of the cave?
03:14Come on out. Uncle Smokey put out the fire.
03:17Gee, I'd like to be like Uncle Smokey when I grow up.
03:21He's so big and brave and strong.
03:25He's not afraid of anything, is he?
03:27I guess he isn't.
03:29Now.
03:34Long ago, before you were born, the forest was a different place, and Smokey didn't have
03:39his name, and no one knew his smiling face.
03:42He was a very frightened cub, and how he got that way and finally overcame his fears is
03:48the tale you'll hear today.
03:51This is the ballad of Smokey the Bear.
03:54He sniffs the woodlands where smoke sends an air.
03:58He is a legend in all timberland.
04:02This is the ballad of someone that we all love.
04:10Smokey the Bear roams everywhere.
04:14Forest fires are his only care.
04:17Remember, always beware.
04:19Always put out each flare.
04:21Says your friend, my friend, Smokey the Bear.
04:25Where's a ranger's hat?
04:27Keeps a shovel in his hand.
04:29You know that he protects the forest land.
04:33Smokey the Bear roams everywhere.
04:36He's your friend, my friend, Smokey the Bear.
04:40He's your friend, my friend, Smokey the Bear.
04:49Smokey the Bear.
04:58Smokey started out by being just a normal bear.
05:01Young and happy, playing games, he never had a care.
05:04Mama used to worry that his friendly, trusting way
05:07would get him into trouble.
05:09So she said to me one day,
05:10Big Bear, she said, now listen.
05:12Sonny's young and free as air,
05:13so try to keep an eye on him.
05:15He needs his brother Bear.
05:17When I said, Mom, don't worry,
05:19just leave it all to me,
05:20I never thought our simple life would change
05:23so suddenly.
05:29Last one out of the clearing is a scum.
05:31Come on.
05:32Come on, let's go.
05:44Hey, wait a minute.
05:47What's that?
05:53I never saw a stone move before.
05:57Look, that's no stone.
05:59Can't you see that turtle?
06:00No, Big Bear, your brother's right.
06:03I'm a talking stone.
06:06What are you trying to do?
06:08I just want to play with him.
06:16Look, I'm about 400 years older than you are.
06:20Get someone your own age to play with.
06:22The way they bring up kids these days.
06:26The way they bring up kids these days,
06:26no manners at all.
06:28They don't even know what turtles are for.
06:31Turtles are terrific, trustworthy, true friends.
06:39If you have a little secret, and you don't think that it can last,
06:49simply tell it to a turtle, and it won't get around very fast.
06:59Tell it to a turtle.
07:01Tell it to a turtle.
07:02And it won't get around very fast.
07:06Tell it to a turtle.
07:09Yep.
07:13This looks like a honey tree to me.
07:15Yeah.
07:16Well, I wouldn't touch it if I were you.
07:18Honey is healthy, isn't it?
07:20Sure.
07:20But stealing it from a honey tree isn't.
07:23The bees don't seem to like it.
07:25The bees aren't home now.
07:26They're out gathering more honey.
07:28But they always leave a watchman.
07:31So watch out for the watchman.
07:32Here's where this young scamp gets a well-deserved lesson.
07:45Ow!
07:46Ow!
07:48Get away from me!
07:49Get away from me!
07:51There.
07:52He's gone.
07:54Not for long, I'm afraid.
07:55Long enough for me to get some honey.
07:58Mmm!
07:59I can hardly wait!
08:00This little clown is living in a fool's paradise.
08:21Look out!
08:24Ow!
08:25Ow!
08:26Ow!
08:26Ow!
08:27Ow!
08:28Ow!
08:28Hmm.
08:29What do you know?
08:30As the poet should have said, they are also served to only stand and wait.
08:38Yep.
08:40That day started innocently enough with fun and games and Smokey getting into these little scrapes.
08:47It was all part of growing up, you see.
08:50But, but, but what was the terrible thing that happened to him, Pop?
08:54I'm coming to that.
08:56I'm coming to that.
08:57After all that fun with the bees, I was kind of tuckered out and, uh, decided to go back
09:01to the cave for a little rest.
09:04Hello, son.
09:05Where's your brother?
09:07Hello, son.
09:07He'll be along a little later.
09:08He's too young to be out alone.
09:10He's not alone.
09:11He dropped off to see his girlfriend.
09:13Who, Delilah?
09:15I wish he'd keep away from her.
09:17She's just a frivolous little flirt.
09:19Sonny thinks she's the cutest thing on four legs.
09:23And she thinks he's quite a bear.
09:29How does that seem?
09:30Better?
09:32Bad, bad bees.
09:37What's the matter?
09:39That tickles.
09:42Achoo!
09:43Oh, bless you.
09:44Hey, I know what.
09:46Let's have a swim.
09:47Where?
09:48While some beavers are building a pool right near you.
09:51I gotta go home.
09:52I promised my brother.
09:54Oh, just a little swim.
09:57It'll be ever so good for your bee sting.
10:00Oh, well, just a quick one.
10:07More twigs.
10:08Hurry.
10:09Darling.
10:10Look at what I found.
10:12Some pretty red berries.
10:14Good grief, Bee.
10:16We're building a dam.
10:17Joe, honey.
10:18You'll never have time for anything but that old dam.
10:22I think you love that dam more than you love me.
10:26I'm building it for you.
10:28For us.
10:29Well, it's too big.
10:31Why, sugar.
10:33All we need is just a cozy little dam for two.
10:37There won't always be just us two, dear.
10:40Someday there'll be little beavers.
10:42Not if you don't pay a little more attention to me.
10:46Please, dear.
10:47Hand me that white birch.
10:48We'll have that for lunch tomorrow.
10:52Sometimes I think she's the first lazy beaver in history.
10:58Right now.
10:59Into the pool.
11:00Here now.
11:00Let's go.
11:01Here.
11:02What do you two young scamps think you're doing?
11:04Keep out of this pool.
11:06You're trespassing.
11:07Don't you see there's construction work going on here?
11:09Oh, listen to that old killjoy.
11:11Well, maybe we'd better not.
11:14Oh, don't pay any attention to him.
11:16Delilah, I have a feeling you're leading me into a lot of trouble.
11:24Delilah, Delilah, Delilah, you're leading me on, Delilah.
11:29You're everything nice, you're sugar and spice, my little chickadee.
11:35Delilah, Delilah, my mother has said, Delilah will lead me astray.
11:42Well, that's okay.
11:44Well, that's okay.
11:44That'd be heavenly.
11:46Since days of old, the story's told how wily you can be.
11:57Delilah, Delilah, oh, how can I lead Delilah to need just me?
12:07Delilah, oh, how can I lead me?
12:07Delilah, oh, how can I lead me?
12:26Delilah, oh, how can I lead me?
12:44Delilah, Delilah, oh, how can I lead Delilah to need just me?
12:57Delilah, Delilah, oh, how can I lead Delilah to need just me?
13:01Delilah.
13:02Don't you know any better than to destroy other people's property?
13:05The nerve is some of these kids.
13:07I'm gonna tell your parents, Miss Delilah Bear.
13:13Oh, it's different.
13:15We're having so much fun.
13:16Ouch.
13:17That'll teach you.
13:19Ow.
13:20Let's get out of here.
13:23We better get out of here.
13:25Yeah, I guess we should.
13:26I really care.
13:27Oh, boy.
13:31Look at that.
13:33There goes a whole week's work.
13:35There's no justice in this forest.
13:39Never mind, dear.
13:40I'll help you with the mud packing tomorrow.
13:44Tomorrow?
13:45Yes, dear.
13:46We can start again tomorrow.
13:48Why wait until tomorrow?
13:50Have you forgotten what we learned at Beaver School?
13:53Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
13:57Hand me some sticks.
14:00Throw me some mud.
14:01We'll build again.
14:16It's awful late.
14:18Oh, don't go yet.
14:21Hey, let's play some more.
14:23No, I can't.
14:24My mother will be mad.
14:26Don't be such a mama's boy.
14:30I'm not, Delilah, but you don't know my mom.
14:33She's always worrying about me.
14:36Hmm.
14:36Well, then go ahead.
14:39I'm not stopping you.
14:40You're not the only cub in the woods, you know.
14:44Aw, gee, Delilah.
14:46Goodbye, Natalie.
14:53Too bad Smokey played around so long with that little Delilah.
14:57He could have been back safe in the cave before it happened.
14:59Before what happened, Pop?
15:01Yes, what happened?
15:02A little patience, you two.
15:05Smokey was on his way home, not hurrying,
15:09when he sniffed that strange smell in the air again.
15:14He didn't know what it was at first, but he didn't like it.
15:18What he was sniffing was smoke.
15:37Smokey didn't know what to do.
15:39He was frightened now.
15:41Then he remembered what Mom always told him.
15:44When there's real danger, climb a tree.
15:48And where was I?
15:50Catching 40 winks in front of the cave.
15:54I smell smoke.
15:55So do I.
15:56Sonny, where is he?
15:58Go out and find him.
15:59There's a fire in the forest.
16:01Hurry.
16:02I started out as fast as I could go,
16:05but it was getting late.
16:06The fire spreads awfully fast.
16:09I could see that it was already passing through that part of the woods
16:12where Smokey was,
16:13and it was coming straight at me.
16:15I realized that only a miracle could save Smokey.
16:34Well, I ducked under a rock and waited.
16:36Till the fire passed.
16:38Till it was cool and calm,
16:39and then I got out of there fast.
16:42The forest was so sad it cried.
16:44It was a lonesome sight.
16:46The lovely trees of yesterday, now cold and black as night.
16:50There wasn't much that I could do,
16:51but wished that some were saved.
16:53So I set out after Smokey.
16:55With hope, my road was paved.
17:01Sonny!
17:04Sonny!
17:06Sonny!
17:07Where are you?
17:13Sonny!
17:17Sonny!
17:20Sonny!
17:22Sonny, are you all right?
17:24Come on down.
17:25Come on down, Sonny, the fire's gone.
17:28Sonny!
17:29What's the matter?
17:31Are you hurt?
17:33Sonny!
17:34Answer me!
17:36It's all right now, Sonny.
17:38It's all right.
17:39The fire's gone now.
17:41It singed your fur a little, I see.
17:43Hey.
17:45You smell all Smokey.
17:49Guess we'll have to call you Smokey after this.
17:52Why, it's really a miracle that you escaped your life.
17:55Let's go back to the cave now.
17:57Mom's waiting for you.
18:01Oh, your paws are a little burned.
18:03It's not too bad though, Smokey.
18:05They'll be all right in a couple of days.
18:07We'll bathe them in some cool water at the cave.
18:10Come on.
18:13Get up on my back.
18:14I'll carry you.
18:18It's all right, Smokey.
18:20I won't go near any of those embers.
18:22My heart was aching for him.
18:24He was so scared.
18:26You see, I really loved that cub.
18:29My kid brother.
18:31He used to come to me with all his troubles.
18:33But this was the worst thing that ever happened to him.
18:38When we got back to the cave, another terrible blow fell.
18:43Mom wasn't there.
18:45She had gone out looking for Smokey.
18:49And was lost in the fire.
18:52Well, all that happened a long time ago.
18:56And now you know how Smokey got his name.
18:59He was such a frightened little bear that for a long, long time after that fire,
19:04I couldn't even get him to leave the cave.
19:07Any loud noise frightened him.
19:10And of course, the thing that terrified him most was fire.
19:12He isn't that way now, Pop.
19:14He talks to everyone, and everyone loves him.
19:18And he isn't afraid of anything.
19:20Yes, and it's a strange and wonderful story.
19:22How he changed from a frightened, lonely little cub to what he is now.
19:28We were taking a stroll that day.
19:30Smokey had grown into a fine young bear.
19:33But still, he had that fear in him.
19:36I was the only one he'd talk to.
19:38Mmm.
19:40Smell that sweet hair, Smokey?
19:43Lovely, isn't it?
19:45It took a long time, but the forest is green and cool and beautiful again.
20:01Look!
20:03I never saw any tracks like these before.
20:07Wonder what it is.
20:09Smells different too.
20:12Bad.
20:16Ew!
20:17Whatever it is, he doesn't like it either.
20:19And neither do I, brother.
20:22Why, there's our old friend the turtle.
20:24Remember the first time you tried to play with him, Smokey?
20:27Why don't you let him forget it?
20:29I'm afraid he's not very playful anymore.
20:31Yes, I know.
20:32The fire.
20:34I heard he was caught in it.
20:35How did you escape?
20:37I got through that pool near here just in time, and I stayed underwater.
20:41Hi, Smokey.
20:43You can turn me over if you like.
20:46Smokey, I don't mind.
20:48I hope he'll snap out of it one of these days.
20:51And what about those funny tracks over there?
20:54I never saw anything like them before.
20:57Neither have I.
20:58They belong to some strange animal.
21:01Did you see them?
21:01Not exactly.
21:02I caught a quick glimpse of something big and black and smelly,
21:07and about as mean as they come.
21:09What makes you say that?
21:10Well, I was moving along minding my own business
21:13when this thing sneaked up behind me and grabbed me.
21:17Of course, I closed up shop immediately.
21:20But what do you think this creature did?
21:23He picked me up and dashed me to the ground, trying to crack me open.
21:28That's pretty mean.
21:29He's so mean he ought to resign from the animal kingdom.
21:32If he is an animal, I hope we've seen the last of him.
21:37Oh, Joe, honey, look.
21:40Uh-huh.
21:41Something tells me we haven't.
21:44Oh, Joe, honey, look.
21:46Oh, damn, just look, Joe.
21:50There, Bean darling.
21:51Who could have done a novel thing like this?
21:54It's terrible.
21:55Just terrible.
21:58What's going on here?
22:00Looks as though an earthquake struck it.
22:02Who did that?
22:04I don't know.
22:06We just got back from lunch and this is what we found.
22:08A lifetime of hard work down the drain.
22:11Here, here, look here.
22:14Here's those same tracks all over the place.
22:18There's something strange going on in this forest.
22:26Let's see what that is.
22:29What's the rush?
22:30Let's wait and see what happens.
22:32Now, remember what you always say about putting off for tomorrow what you can do today.
22:39Don't wait, don't wait.
22:42Tomorrow may be too late.
22:44So do what you can today.
22:49Don't wait, don't wait.
22:52Tomorrow may be too late.
22:55Don't rally along the way.
22:59Don't procrastinate
23:02Or hesitate
23:04Or tolerate
23:07Delay
23:09Don't wait, don't wait.
23:12Tomorrow may be too late.
23:14Tomorrow may be too late.
23:17Tomorrow may be too late.
23:20Tomorrow may be too late.
23:21Tomorrow may be too late.
23:21Tomorrow may be too late.
23:21Tomorrow may be too late.
23:21Tomorrow may be too late.
23:24Tomorrow may be too late.
23:24Tomorrow may be too late.
23:25Tomorrow may be too late.
23:27Tomorrow may be too late.
23:29Tomorrow may be too late.
23:31Tomorrow may be too late.
23:32Tomorrow may be too late.
23:35Tomorrow may be too late.
23:39Don't wait, don't wait
23:42Tomorrow may be too late
23:51What's going on here?
23:53Craziest thing that ever happened to me
23:55I was here doing a little quiet hunting
23:58When something grabs my tail
23:59I don't allow anyone to do that except the missus
24:02And I thought it was her getting a little playful
24:05Then I turned and saw it
24:08Saw what?
24:10I don't know
24:11I saw it for only a second
24:12Never saw anything like it before
24:14Something furry and big and smelly
24:18That's it
24:19I'm all shook up
24:21You and me both, brother
24:27Beat it, beat it, beat it
24:40Uh-oh
24:41The warning system
24:44The birds have spotted it
24:45Let's go
24:49Those strange tracks were easy enough to follow
24:51Because everywhere they went
24:53They left a trail of destruction
24:56It was at clearing the foresters had planted with seedlings
25:00Those strange tracks led right through
25:04There's a reason and a purpose for everything that happens in the woods
25:08But there wasn't any reason to this
25:10This was just waste and destruction
25:13Senseless and malicious
25:15We realized that evil had come into our wilderness home
25:21We were joined by other animals whose homes had been destroyed by the mysterious monster
25:26The tracks led straight to a deserted old trapper's hut in the woods
25:34Whatever it is
25:35Is in there
25:39One of us will have to sneak up to that hut
25:41And take a look inside
25:44All right
25:46Any volunteers?
25:48No?
25:50Okay
25:51You
25:52And you
25:53And you
25:54I am much better at planning
25:56He's got to get back to the dam
25:59Uh, I'm not sticking my neck out
26:02Well then
26:03You heroes
26:06It looks like it's up to me
26:08Why don't you just walk up to the door
26:10And knock
26:11As though it's a friendly visit
26:13That's what I call planning
26:15I'll go
26:19Wait a minute
26:20Will anybody move?
26:23What's that smell?
26:26It's smoke
26:58What came out of that hut was something awesome to behold
27:01An animal we'd never seen made my blood run cold
27:05We found out sometime later
27:07That his home was in a zoo
27:09And he could do most anything
27:11That any man could do
27:12A human trained gorilla
27:14As mean as he could be
27:16Who couldn't tell a sapling from a weeping willow tree
27:19He'd never seen our forest
27:20He'd never seen our forest or the animals around
27:21He only cared about himself
27:25Ours was a foreign ground
27:26What did you do, Pop?
27:29The first thing I had to do was take care of Smokey
27:31When he smelled that smoke
27:32He was so frightened
27:35He climbed that tree
27:36And hung on there
27:36Just like he did
27:37When he was caught in the fire
27:40The other animals had run away
27:43Come on down, Smokey
27:46He can't hurt us
27:47The two of us can handle him
27:51I saw him keep looking at that chimney
27:53And I realized that Smokey wasn't afraid of the gorilla
27:56As much as he was of the smoke
28:00There's no more smoke now, Smokey
28:08Look what he's doing now
28:11He's poisoning that stream
28:13Clean water is scarce around here
28:19What's he up to now?
28:25He's going to set the forest afire
28:33We've got to get rid of him, Smokey
28:35We've got to get all our friends together
28:37And figure out what to do
28:40Look
28:48What's wrong with him?
28:49I don't know
28:52We just took a drink from the stream a little while ago
28:56And we all got sick
28:57You better not drink from that stream for a while
29:00We have a problem here that we're going to tackle right now
29:04Come on, Smokey
29:11What's going on here?
29:13We're holding a meeting about the present emergency in the forest
29:17Meeting will please come to order
29:19Come to order please
29:21As you all know, we have an unwelcome visitor with us here in the forest
29:25This creature is a menace to us all
29:31The rock recognizes Big Bear
29:34The turtle is right
29:36This gorilla is polluting the streams
29:39Destroying the dams
29:41Pulling up the seedlings
29:42And he's going to end up by setting the forest afire
29:47We have got to get rid of him
29:49Fast
29:54Big Bear has stated the problem almost as well as I could
29:58Now comes the hard part
30:01How do we get rid of him?
30:05Any suggestions?
30:06Fred Fox
30:07I think we can trap him
30:10How?
30:11I've got a collection of traps in my dam
30:13That were used against me without success
30:15I made a sort of hobby of collecting them
30:18And I figured out what's wrong with each one of them
30:20Now by combining them
30:22I can work something out that'll get this gorilla
30:26All right, go ahead and try it
30:28Any other suggestions?
30:31Crows?
30:32Ah! Ah!
30:34We have an idea how to get him from the air
30:36Good
30:37Mr. Beaver
30:38We have something in mind and we'll be busy working on it
30:42Very good
30:43Big Bear, do you have anything in mind?
30:47Why don't you just give him one of your good old bear hugs?
30:51I would if it weren't for his smell
30:53I don't think I could get that close
30:55What about you, Mr. Turtle?
30:57Any ideas?
30:59Well, the way I see it
31:01This beast is more ignorant than anything else
31:03And selfish
31:05He does all those destructive things
31:07Because he just doesn't know any better
31:10And since he's so stupid
31:11I think I can trick him
31:13I'll work on it
31:15I think we should all try
31:17If one plan doesn't work out
31:20Another one will
31:21We've got to get together
31:23Against the common foe
31:25All together
31:27All together
31:29All together
31:30We can weather any single thing
31:32All together
31:34We can weather anything
31:39All together
31:42We can face what fate may bring
31:47All together
31:49Sing it once again
31:51All the world will be our oyster then
31:55All together
31:57We can weather ready
32:00Oh, for one and let's sing it again
32:02Yes
32:03All together
32:04We can weather anything
32:09Yes
32:10All together
32:12We can face what fate may bring
32:16Face what fate may bring
32:17All together
32:19Sing it once again
32:21All the world will be our oyster then
32:25Cause when we're all together
32:27We can weather anything
32:54So all together
32:57We can weather anything
33:02All together
33:04All together
33:06All together
33:07All together
33:08We can weather anything
33:13Well, here's Smokey
33:14I didn't hear you mention any ideas
33:16About how to handle a gorilla, Smokey
33:19I'll think of something
33:20Like what?
33:22Climbing up a tree?
33:23Ha ha ha ha
33:28What's the matter?
33:29What happened to Smokey?
33:31Where'd he go?
33:32We were just kidding him a little
33:33He ran away into the woods
33:35He shouldn't do that to Smokey
33:37He's very sensitive for a bear
33:41Smokey
33:43Smokey
33:44Where are you, Smokey?
33:48Smokey
33:49What's the matter with you?
33:51Why are you running away?
33:53They laughed at me
33:54They were just joking
33:56No, they weren't
33:57It's no use
33:59I'm a coward
34:00And they know it
34:01Nonsense
34:03You're just afraid of Smoke
34:05Then you'll get over it in time
34:07Come on, Smokey
34:08We'll work out something together
34:10To get that gorilla
34:11No
34:12I'll only disgrace you
34:15Let me alone
34:16I just want to be alone
34:21Smokey disappeared in the woods
34:23And stayed away from the cave
34:25The other animals caught a glimpse of him
34:27Once in a while
34:28Roaming the woods
34:29Meanwhile
34:31Everyone was busy with their plans
34:33And schemes
34:34To trap the gorilla
34:37Now let's see
34:38That rod goes over there
34:40When he pulls on this lever
34:42To get at the bait
34:43That releases this stick
34:45Which will hit him in the backside
34:47Making him go forward
34:48And step into this loop
34:50Which will catch one of his feet
34:52And spring this other trap
34:54Which releases
34:58Absolutely nothing
34:59No, no, no
35:01Who are you shouting at, Fred?
35:02Myself
35:03This thing won't work
35:06What's that do?
35:07Don't touch that, Mae
35:08That sets the whole thing off
35:10But I thought you said
35:11It won't work
35:12It works
35:13Up to a point
35:14There are a few bugs
35:16I think I've got it
35:19I hope so
35:21Fred, our life won't be the same
35:23Until you stop fooling
35:25With that piece of machinery
35:26I'm not fooling
35:28And our life won't be the same
35:30Until we get rid of that gorilla
35:35There, that ought to do it
35:37Won't take much to bring that down
35:39Just one little pull
35:41Now I'll tie the bait
35:42Right up there on the tree
35:43And when he starts pulling at it
35:46Down will come the tree
35:47Right on top of him
35:48Pinning him down
35:49Until he can be captured
35:50Joe, darling
35:51You're so clever
35:53Thank you, Bea
35:54I think it's a pretty good plan myself
35:56How did you ever think of it?
35:59These things just come to me
36:01What are you going to use for bait?
36:03Well, let's see
36:05How about an old dead fish?
36:07Do gorillas eat fish?
36:08I don't know
36:10But I'm sure an old dead fish
36:11Will attract him
36:12It'll smell so bad
36:13He'll think it's a relative
36:16Oh, darling
36:17You are clever
36:20Tie it up on real good
36:22And tight
36:22So he can't pull it off
36:24Where did you get this thing?
36:26Found it by the lake
36:27Some hunter forgot it
36:29What makes you think
36:30This is going to work?
36:31I'm counting on the well-known curiosity
36:33Of the primate species
36:35Especially the apes
36:39Curiosity is what we need
36:42Curiosity is great indeed
36:45Can't imagine what this world would be
36:48Without curiosity
36:51There would be no wagon with no wheel
36:55Someone had to dream a great, great deal
36:58Can't imagine what this world would be
37:01Without curiosity
37:04Look at Columbus
37:08He'd still be
37:10Back with Isabella
37:12Like any other fella
37:14Without curiosity
37:17Romeo just looked at Juliet
37:20Thought he'd like to know more
37:22So they met
37:24Can't imagine what this world would be
37:27Without curiosity
37:37Can't imagine what this world would be
37:40Without
37:41Without
37:42Without
37:43Without
37:44Without
37:44Without curiosity
37:48Now back to my plan
37:49When that gorilla sees this bright little duck
37:53Moving along the ground
37:54It'll drive him wild with curiosity
37:57He'll follow it
37:59He'll grab it
38:00He'll bite it
38:01He'll dash it to the ground
38:02And every time he does
38:04I'll move it a little further along
38:06Until he follows it clear outside the forest
38:09Where he'll be captured
38:11A thing like that could take some time
38:13Time is what I've the most of
38:15I think that's on pretty tight now
38:17Then I'll be on my way
38:19I'll park the decoy in a clearing
38:21Where he'll notice it
38:22While I'm hidden safely in the bushes
38:25By the way
38:26I meant to ask you
38:27Where's Smokey?
38:28He's off in the woods somewhere
38:30Alone
38:31Brooding about himself
38:32Well
38:33Maybe he'll come up with the answer he needs
38:36I sure hope so
38:41Now here's the plan
38:42The gorilla goes out every day
38:44Foraging for food
38:45We'll catch him in a clearing
38:47Fly over him
38:48And drop the net over him
38:49Clear?
38:52He's all tangled up in it
38:54The others can capture him
38:58He's left the hut
38:58He's heading this way
39:01On your claws, birds
39:03Tell him what is
39:07Still no
39:27Where's the monster
39:29Tell him what is
39:29He's left
39:29He's right
39:32He's right
40:01It must be stuck.
40:02And he's gone.
40:17Let her go!
40:24Miserable, stupid birds.
40:26I should know better than to trust a crow.
40:29Help! Help! Help!
40:34Shh! Here he comes.
40:36I'm holding my breath.
40:38Well, stop talking, too.
40:53Ah!
40:55Joe, there goes our dam!
40:58He wasn't supposed to push that tree.
41:00He was supposed to pull at the fish.
41:02You should've told him that, honey.
41:04You're so clever!
41:06Oh!
41:08Oh, Joe!
41:09Oh!
41:12Oh!
41:13Oh!
41:15Oh!
41:16May!
41:16Come out here!
41:17What's the matter?
41:19Nothing's the matter.
41:20Nothing's the matter.
41:20Look!
41:21I looked at it before, Fred.
41:23Don't you notice any difference?
41:25Don't you notice any difference?
41:25Yes.
41:26You have an apple tied on there.
41:28Mm-hmm.
41:29The bait.
41:30He reaches for the apple.
41:31That pulls the lever.
41:33And wham!
41:35Wham!
41:35Wham!
41:36Wham!
41:36Mr. Gorilla ends up in a cage where he belongs.
41:39Well, I hope it works.
41:40It's got to work.
41:42Just to make sure.
41:44You notice those vegetables there?
41:46Yes.
41:47I meant to ask you about it.
41:48If the apple doesn't tempt him, those vegetables will.
41:51And that'll set it off just as well.
41:54Wham?
41:54Yes.
41:55Wham!
41:55Well, I hope it works.
41:57You said that before.
42:00Shh!
42:01Shh!
42:01Here he comes.
42:04Yes.
42:05I smell him.
42:07And the dam.
42:26I can't imagine why this thing didn't start.
42:29It didn't wham at all.
42:31Oh, keep quiet.
42:32Oh!
42:33Oh, my goodness!
42:35Oh, my goodness!
42:37Oh, my goodness!
42:42I knew it would work.
42:45Wham!
42:46Wham!
43:00The turtle, beaver, fox, and crow knew they had failed to trap the foe.
43:04The old gorilla laughed and laughed and made their spirits very low.
43:09Most everyone had tried their best, and every scheme had failed the test.
43:13Our Smokey was dejected.
43:15A real unhappy guy.
43:17And then there came the turning point, when he heard the turtle cry.
43:23Help!
43:24Help!
43:25Help!
43:26Oh, thank goodness!
43:28Help at last!
43:29How did you ever get into this mess?
43:33Oh, those nearsighted crows tried to get the gorilla with this net.
43:37They got me instead.
43:39What's this?
43:41Oh, that.
43:42That was a little idea of mine.
43:45It didn't work out.
43:47It had a snag in it.
43:49The beaver's idea failed, too.
43:52And the fox's.
43:54Well, Smokey, it looks like it's up to you.
43:58Me?
43:58Why not?
43:59Why don't you try?
44:01You never know what you can do until you try.
44:06You see those big trees all around you, Smokey?
44:10They'll all be gone if there's another fire.
44:14You remember what happened last time, Smokey, when you were a little cub.
44:21Are you spending the night alone in the woods, Smokey?
44:26Smokey, listen to the trees.
44:28They're living things.
44:30They'll talk to you.
44:32Listen to them, Smokey.
44:34You can learn wisdom from the trees.
44:38Smokey spent that night in the woods.
44:40It was a strange and wonderful experience.
44:43The trees did talk to him, just as the turtles said they would.
44:50Save us, Smokey.
44:53We want to live, Smokey.
44:57We are the oldest little things, Smokey.
45:00Don't let us die, Smokey.
45:02Don't let us die, Smokey.
45:04What would the world be without trees, Smokey?
45:08Smokey.
45:10Save us, Smokey.
45:16For the Olympics.
45:29Till there's a Где.
45:30I know you got myboro excitement.
45:32I love you.
45:33All you guys?
45:37Hey.
45:41Here.
45:42Oh, my God.
46:14No. Let Smokey do it. He can. He will.
46:50Here. Grab some of these containers and get to work. Everybody's gotta pitch in. Step lively and let's all help
46:57each other.
47:34Step lively and let's all help each other.
47:41Back to the zoo.
47:50Anyone can move a fountain if he really tries. Anyone can move a fountain you must realize.
48:05It will take a little time but not a thing. Make up your mind.
48:13And you'll arrive at where you strive to roam.
48:20So, never be afraid to dream.
48:26For that's what you must do.
48:30If you never dream at all. Then your dreams can't come true.
48:39Anyone can move a fountain. Everyone should know.
48:45Oh, just believe it and you'll find it so.
48:56Just believe it and you'll find it so.
49:16Well, that's the story of your Uncle Smokey.
49:18Where did he get that hat he wears, Pop?
49:20The foresters sent him that. And a brand new spade when they found out he had put out the fire.
49:27And they made him Chief Animal Forest Ranger.
49:32It was quite a ceremony.
49:34Oh, can we go berry picking now, Pop?
49:36Sure. Let's go.
49:38Oh, goody.
49:39Say, I'll race you out to the clearing.
49:41Here, here. What's all the excitement?
49:43We're going berry picking.
49:45Yep. And I know where there's a honey tree.
49:48Oh, goody.
49:49Didn't I just tell you cubs what happened to your Uncle Smokey first time he found a honey tree?
49:55Last one out's a turtle.
49:57Here, here. What sort of talk is that?
50:01A honey tree.
50:08Some things they've got to learn for themselves.
50:12Isn't it the truth, brother?
50:15Old Smokey is a legend now.
50:17He roams the forest far and wide.
50:20And when folks see his spade and hat, they know that he's the nation's pride.
50:25And Smokey's story will be told throughout the land to young and old.
50:30He taught a lesson.
50:31Heed the call.
50:33Keep the forest green for one and all.
50:37This is the ballad of Smokey the Bear.
50:40He sniffs the woodland for smoke, sand and air.
50:44He is a legend in all timberland.
50:48This is the ballad of someone that we all love.
50:55Smokey the Bear roams everywhere.
50:59Forest fires are his only care.
51:03Remember.
51:03Always beware.
51:05Always put out each flare.
51:07Says your friend, my friend, Smokey the Bear.
51:10Where's a ranger's hat?
51:12Keeps a shovel in his head.
51:15You know that he protects the forest land.
51:18Smokey the Bear roams everywhere.
51:22He's your friend, my friend, Smokey the Bear.
51:26He's your friend, my friend, Smokey the Bear.
51:34Smokey the Bear!
