00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:02,560
The Worry Box

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:08,820
Hike up on his sinking spot, Morrie Bear looked out across the valley.

3
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:11,480
Here you are, called his sister.

4
00:00:12,259 --> 00:00:17,059
Millie, it's time for lunch. I'm not hungry, Morrie said.

5
00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:21,039
You're always hungry, giggled Millie.

6
00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:25,640
Come on, or we will be late meeting Alfie at the waterfall.

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,820
I don't want to go, snuffled Morrie.

8
00:00:29,820 --> 00:00:37,619
What if the water falls too loud? What if it's so big that I get whisked away?

9
00:00:38,539 --> 00:00:40,380
Millie squeezed Mowry tight.

10
00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:44,759
Waterfalls are big and loud, she said, but they are also beautiful.

11
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:48,460
I won't get whisked away, asked Mowry.

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,460
No, not with me to hold your paw, said Millie firmly.

13
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:56,640
Mowry thought for a moment, then moved.

14
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:00,140
Sharing worries always makes them feel smaller.

15
00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:02,619
Millie comes forward as they head for home.

16
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:09,359
When the very last sandwich was eaten, Millie had a secret to share.

17
00:01:10,379 --> 00:01:13,060
This is my worry box, she smiled.

18
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:18,340
When something's worrying me, I write it down, then I put it inside.

19
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,519
Does it make your worries disappear? asked Millie.

20
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:30,659
Not quite, said Millie, but when my worries are in the box, they don't stop me having fun.

21
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,359
Let's make one for you.

22
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:39,120
Worries won't stop me, said Murray, popping his worry in the box and shutting the lid like that.

23
00:01:40,219 --> 00:01:44,060
Ready? Millie asked. Ready, nodded Murray.

24
00:01:45,299 --> 00:01:52,319
Skipping along the riverbank, the birds spot dragonflies dancing above their heads.

25
00:01:52,519 --> 00:02:09,259
but soon the river raced faster and there was a roar of water ahead nearly there sat milly weak marie squeaked as they round they bent

26
00:02:09,259 --> 00:02:13,460
Dero spalking in the sunlight was a rumbling, tumbling waterfall.

27
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:17,520
Wow, gasped Moray, whipping the spray from his nose.

28
00:02:18,419 --> 00:02:21,159
Just then, there was a shout from the rocks.

29
00:02:21,340 --> 00:02:22,520
It's Alfie, military.

30
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,699
Moray took a deep breath.

31
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:27,020
Let's go and play, he decided.

32
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,659
That's when Dero got sploshed.

33
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:36,060
The friends were bashing, counting the fish when they heard a voice calling them.

34
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:41,280
Do who? cried the rabbit, Morrie that had never met before

35
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,560
It's my cousin, Lara, being mouthy

36
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,960
Suddenly, Morrie fell very sad

37
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,659
Lara scrounged to the top of the rocks

38
00:02:51,659 --> 00:02:54,099
I want to go even higher

39
00:02:54,099 --> 00:03:02,419
She announced looking at an oak tree growing on the bank

40
00:03:02,419 --> 00:03:04,500
Let's climb to the top of that

41
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:10,039
The friends raced off, all except Mary, who was beginning to worry.

42
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:12,740
Oh dear, he sniffed.

43
00:03:13,180 --> 00:03:17,180
Morrie wanted to join, but his tummy felt very tight.

44
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:18,800
Then he remembered.

45
00:03:19,139 --> 00:03:20,840
My box, he said quickly.

46
00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:23,280
He scraped down his socks.

47
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:25,360
I'm worried that Lara won't like me.

48
00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:27,560
I'm worried that I'm not a very good climber.

49
00:03:27,939 --> 00:03:31,000
I'm worried that everyone will laugh at me.

50
00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:33,780
Worries won't stop me, he smiled.

51
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:36,460
closing the box and trotting off the truth.

52
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,539
Up, up, up, Mary climbed.

53
00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:42,500
Come higher, called Lara.

54
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:47,659
You can't see the sea, but Mary had spotted a hole in the trunk.

55
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,120
There inside was a net of fluffy owl cheeks.

56
00:03:52,580 --> 00:03:56,060
Look what I found, Millie, he whispered.

57
00:03:56,740 --> 00:04:00,300
All afternoon long, the friends played until it was time to go.

58
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:03,939
Oh, bother, Millie huffed. I love my backpack.

59
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:10,099
Everyone hunted high and low till they found the backpack hidden in the weeds.

60
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:16,040
Just in time, said Alfie. The sun's starting to set.

61
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:21,339
Hurry, Lara squeaked in panic. We have to get home.

62
00:04:21,899 --> 00:04:23,839
Why? What's wrong? asked Alfie.

63
00:04:24,740 --> 00:04:28,639
Lara's whiskers quivered. We won't see where we're going.

64
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:33,980
We will be late for bedtime and I don't like the dark

65
00:04:33,980 --> 00:04:37,240
Marie holds Lara's bow

66
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,939
Sharing worries makes them feel smaller and less scary, he told her

67
00:04:42,939 --> 00:04:46,459
See, I keep mine in a special box

68
00:04:46,459 --> 00:04:50,180
He gave her a scrap of paper and a pencil

69
00:04:50,180 --> 00:04:54,259
You can put yours in too, Marie smiled

70
00:04:54,259 --> 00:04:59,319
Lara stayed by Morrie's side as they walked through the wood.

71
00:04:59,860 --> 00:05:01,800
Follow the fireflies, Morrie said.

72
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,019
They are like nightlights to show us the path.

73
00:05:05,579 --> 00:05:11,560
Eek! Lara squeaked and her own hood overheard.

74
00:05:11,740 --> 00:05:14,060
It's okay, whispered Morrie.

75
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:17,699
It's Mr. Old saying goodnight.

76
00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:23,000
Across the treetops, the friends heard a hood in the pond.

77
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:36,939
soon they reached elfy's house just in time for bed elfy beamed good night everyone said lara and thank you mary for being such a good friend

78
00:05:36,939 --> 00:05:43,939
Hike up on his sinking spot, Morrie and Millie look out across the valley.

79
00:05:43,939 --> 00:05:46,939
Thanks for showing me the waterfall, said Morrie.

80
00:05:46,939 --> 00:05:50,939
It wasn't too big or too loud, asked Millie.

81
00:05:50,939 --> 00:05:55,939
It was both, giggled Morrie, but it was also great fun.

82
00:05:55,939 --> 00:05:58,939
I can't wait until we go again.

83
00:06:00,939 --> 00:06:01,939
The End
