    Cat: And I've never seen such a rude bear.
    Little Bear: This is Cub. He's from the wilderness.
    [While Cub is still on the tree, he watches the others play around]
    Little Bear: Come on Cub!
    Owl: Fly to the moon.

    Cub: No.
    [Cub jumps of the tree and loses his spoons as he fell]
    Duck: Welcome to the moon.
    Cub: [looking around] The Moon looks a lot like the Earth.
    Cat: [as Cub chases around roaring] I told you he was wild.
    Duck: I wanna be wild too.
    Cub: I haven't seen my parents for a long time.
    Little Bear: What do you mean?
    Cub: I don't know where my parents are.
    Little Bear: Really?
    Cub: We were trying to get home. And we got caught in a big storm.
