The Berenstain Bears, Season 3

Papa Bear:
Huh. Hmm, not much left of the wood pile! Uh-oh!

Mama Bear:
Oh dear!

Papa Bear:
The mountain soil's just too thin to grow trees, Mama! And not a lot of trees around makes it hard for a woods-bear like me.

Brother Bear:
What's for dinner, Mama?

Mama Bear:
Not quite as much as I’d like, I’m afraid! Our garden is so small, and Brother's growing so big, I'd like to make the garden larger, but it's right up against a rocky ledge.

Papa Bear and Mama Bear:
[sigh together]

[Later that night, as Brother was getting ready for bed.]

Mama Bear:
Brother, Papa and I have something very important to talk to you about.

Brother Bear:
What, Mama?

Papa Bear:
We decided that it's time we moved from Great Bear Mountain down into the valley.

Brother Bear:
We're going to move away?, Why, Mama, Why?

Papa Bear:
Because, there aren't enough trees on the mountain for my woodworking.

Mama Bear:
And our Rocky Mountain garden is much smaller than I'd like it to be.

Papa Bear:
And there's barely enough room for your bed and your cubby for you.

Brother Bear:
But what about my toys, and my books, and my rocks?

Mama Bear:
Don't worry, we'll put all of our things into boxes and we’ll take them with us!

Brother Bear:
But, what about my friends, the deer and the rabbits, we can't put them in a box and take them with us.

Papa Bear:
No! We can’t, but, you'll meet new friends in the valley, and we can always come back to visit!

Brother Bear:
But I love it here on the mountain! [starts crying]

Mama Bear:
I know you do, We do too. But I'm sure we'll all love our new home just as much as we love this one.
