00:00:36.040 So let's read about that.
00:00:39.440 Once there were two bears, Big Bear and Little Bear.
00:00:43.780 Big Bear is the Big Bear, and Little Bear is the Little Bear.
00:00:49.160 They played all day in the bright sunlight.
00:00:51.380 When night came and the sun went down, Big Bear took Little Bear home to the bear cave.
00:00:57.040 We can see here they're out playing in the sunlight.
00:01:02.520 Now you can see the cave in the background over there.
00:01:09.600 Big Bear put Little Bear to bed in the dark part of the cave.
00:01:13.660 Go to sleep, Little Bear, he said.
00:01:16.540 And Little Bear tried.
00:01:18.640 Big Bear settled in in the bear chair and read his bear book by the light of the fire.

00:01:33.980 And you can see the bed of Little Bear where he's trying to sleep, but can't.
00:01:41.240 Can't you sleep, Little Bear? asked Big Bear, putting down his bear book,
00:01:45.520 which was just getting to the interesting part
00:01:48.600 and patting over to the bed
00:01:50.480 I'm scared, said Little Bear
00:01:52.740 Why are you scared, Little Bear, asked Big Bear
00:01:55.580 I don't like the dark, said Little Bear

00:02:15.520 Big Bear looked, and he saw that the dark part of the cave was very dark,
00:02:23.040 so he went to the lantern cupboard and took out the tiniest lantern that there was.

00:06:15.340 I don't like the dark, said Little Bear.
00:06:17.860 But dark, said Big Bear, the dark all around us, said Little Bear.
00:06:22.420 But I brought you the biggest lantern of them all, and there isn't any dark left, said Big Bear.
00:06:28.540 Yes, there is, said Little Bear.
00:06:30.540 There is out there.
00:06:32.420 And he pointed out of the bear cave at the night.
00:06:38.560 You see Little Bear is pointing at the entrance of the cave.
00:06:42.760 Very dark entrance there.
00:06:45.500 He has a point.
00:06:48.540 Big Bear saw that Little Bear was right.
00:06:51.060 Big Bear was very puzzled.
00:06:52.840 All the lanterns in the world couldn't light up the dark outside.
00:06:56.780 Big Bear thought about it for a long time, and then he said,
00:07:00.400 Come on, Little Bear.
00:07:01.640 Where are we going, asked Little Bear.
00:07:03.340 Out, said Big Bear.
00:07:04.980 Out into the darkness, said Little Bear.
00:07:07.920 Yes, said Big Bear.
00:07:09.460 But I'm scared of the dark, said Little Bear.
00:07:12.340 No need to be, said Big Bear.
00:07:14.140 And he took Little Bear by the paw and let him out from the cave into the night.
00:07:19.460 And it was, I'm just looking at this as they're going up the steps, going out of the cave.

00:07:45.420 You can see the cave in the back.
00:07:47.340 It's very bright there, but the outside is very dark.
00:07:55.820 I brought you the moon, Little Bear, said Big Bear.
00:07:58.680 The bright yellow moon and all the twinkly stars.
00:08:02.660 And that is a really big moon.
00:08:05.400 Look at that and all those twinkly stars.

00:08:11.180 and not a lot of dark

00:08:14.700 but little bear didn't say anything
00:08:19.340 for he had gone to sleep

00:08:36.740 The moon in the background, he's holding Little Bear, who's finally sleeping, is taking him back to the cave.
00:08:45.040 Finally.
00:08:47.500 And Big Bear read the bear book right to, so he is sitting there with Little Bear and they're reading.
