Episode 232 : Boys Will Be Boys Story Detail . Welcome and a Lady ' s Picnic . Bear opens the door and welcomes viewers inside the Big Blue House , saying that it ' s good to see them . He says that he ' s on his way to the Otter Pond . He starts to head for the back door , but then stops and sniff . " What ' s that smell ? It kinda smells like soap . " He asks if we just washed our face , because we smell clean and soapy . " Or maybe you smell this good all the time . Heh heh . " He returns to his previous train of thought , explaining that Ojo invited him for a picnic . He says that we can come too . The scene changes to the Otter Pond , where Ojo is saying that it ' s a lovely day . Bear greets her with a " Hi , Ojo ! " and she tells him that she ' s not Ojo , but acutally " Lady Ojo , " a very proper lady bear . And he ' s a Lady too , " Lady Bear . " Bear isn ' t sure what to make of this . " Lady Bear . . . um . . . uh . . okay . Why not ? " He puts on his best lady voice , saying it ' s very nice to meet her there . Ojo says she ' s waiting for one more guest and Bear agrees that they can ' t start until everyone ' s there . " But who else are we waiting for ? " he wonders . Just then , Treelo ' s tail appears on - screen . " Who do you think we ' re waiting for ? " asks Bear , indicating the viewer , and Treelo pops up and laughs . Bear uses his lady voice to welcome Treelo to the picnic and Treelo says that " Bear talk funny ! " , not understaning what ' s going on . Ojo says that " Lady Treelo " has arrived and she was waiting for him so that she could start the picnic . He asks why she ' s calling him that . " Treelo boy ! " Ojo tells him that he ' s a lady and to take his napkin . He takes it and places it over his eyes . Bear laughs and Ojo sighs , telling him that it ' s not proper . She suggests that they look in the picnic basket and Pip and Pop pop out of it . Bear says that they scared them and they say that they love picnics . They ask Treelo how he ' s doing and he shows them his " napkin - head " gag , which gets a big laugh from everyone but Ojo . They then pop back down into the picnic basket and pop back up with napkins on their heads . " We ' re the napkin - headed otters . " This even gets a laugh from Ojo , who asks , " Oh , Bear , what ' s a lady to do ? " Boys Will Be Boys . " You know , they ' re such boys ! " laments Ojo . Using his lady voice , Bear tells her he knows what she means . " Yeah , we ' re boys ! " shouts Treelo . Pip and Pop agree and Bear suggests that if you can ' t beat ' em , join ' em . Ojo says it ' s a good idea and looks around for a napkin . Bear returns to the Big Blue House , laughing and shaking his head . He says that boys can do really great things . " Hey , yeah . Boys . Mm - hmm . Boys like to run and jump . Or sit and read a book . Or build a tower for hours and hours . Or just sit in their mommy ' s lap and sing . " He says that boys aren ' t just one thing , but that boys are great . He sings the song " Oh , Boy , " discussing some of the many great things that boys do . As the song continues , the others join in as Bear heads out the Otter Pond , Ojo even getting a line - - " Let ' s play with the girls ! " Bear asks what the viewers think boys like to do and the others echo the question . A segment featuring real boys is shown . Some say that they like getting dirty , others talk about playing sports and one says that he likes to bug his little sister . Mousey the Great . Bear heads back inside the Big Blue House , saying that we sure do know a lot about boys . " In fact , I think I see some boys out there right now . " He hears a call from Tutter , who sounds like he ' s pushing around something heavy . Bear finds him at the table with a large book , which Tutter asks if he ' ll read to him . It ' s called " Mousey the Great ! " Bear says that he ' d love to read to him and picks up the book , asking what it ' s about . Tutter explains that it ' s about his favorite hero . Bear opens the book and begins to read . " Mousey the Great was a brave little knight who lived in a land far , far away . " Tutter says that Mousey is the best . " Quite handsome , too , " agrees Bear . He continues reading . " In this land , there lived a dragon , who liked to scare damsels . " Tutter asks what a damsel is and Bear explains that it ' s just an " olden times " word for a princess . The story continues . " Mousey did not like this at all . So he chased the dragon away . " Tutter cheers on Mousey and asks Bear to go on so they can see how it ends . Bear reads that the damsel was so happy that she gave Mousey a kiss , even though he didn ' t ask for a reward . This earns an " Aw ! " from Tutter . " The end . " Tutter expresses his satisfaction with the story and Bear agrees that Mousey is pretty great . Tutter says that he wishes that he could be like Mousey . He pops under the table and sounds of clanging can be heard and him singing a trumpet fanfare . Using kitchen equipment , he ' s dressed himself as " Tutter the Great . " Bear notes that Tutter looks somewhat like Mousey now and ask if we ever like to dress up as our favorite heroes . He tells Tutter that he looks great and Tutter replies that here ' s here to protect him . He makes some moves as if doing swordplay and Bear says that he ' ll keep it in mind . He suggests that perhaps there ' s someone in the living room that could use his help . " I ' m off ! " Shadow ' s Story . As Tutter exits , Bear hears the sound of laughter . He realizes that it ' s Shadow . He heads to the stairwell area and sings his special song , asking the viewers to join in . He shouts for her and she appears on the wall . Bear says that it ' s nice to see and her and asks if she has a story . She says she has one that you ' ll like whether you ' re a boy or a girl . She repeats the story in song that she told in " " ( see that episode ' s page for details ) . Bear tells her that it was a great story and she thanks him . She says that she ' s going to head off to play , but to just try and catch her if he needs another story . Bear hears someone whispering his name and it turns out to be Tutter . Tutter is on the floor by a rug and he says he thinks he ' s found something . Something that might be a job for Tutter the Great . Tutter vs . the Dragon . Bear asks if we ' d like to see what Tutter the Great has found and directs us to " come on . " He looks around and eventually finds Tutter , hiding . He tells Bear to stay low , keep quiet and follow him . " Walk this way ! " he says . Bear replies that he could if he were a house and Tutter hushes him , so Bear just sort of creeps along . " It ' s gotta be around here , somewhere , " says Tutter , climbing up to the top of the couch that they were hiding behind . He tells Bear to look and Bear says that it ' s a bunch of pillows and sheets . " No , Bear ! " explains Tutter . " Can ' t you see it ' s a dragon ' s cave ? " " If you say so , " agrees Bear and Tutter shouts " Oh , I say so , Bear ! I say so ! " He explains that the dragon will come out at any minute and he will chase him from the Big Blue House . " Let ' s watch ! " Ojo appears , humming a cheery tune , and Bear starts to greet her , but Tutter shouts at him to get down . The dragon has taken Ojo prisoner . Bear says that it looks like Ojo is just playing house , but Tutter warns him to not let his eyes fool him . Ojo is a damsel in distress and time is running out . " Cover me ! " Tutter asks of Bear as he heads for the play fort ( " cave " ) that Ojo has just entered into . Tutter orders the dragon to come out and Ojo emerges , unclear as to what is going on . Tutter asks if she ' s all right . " Of course I ' m okay ! " she replies . He calls her a brave , little bear and tells her to not be afraid , as he will protect her . Ojo asks Bear what Tutter ' s doing and Bear explains . Ojo asks just what it is she needs to be saved from and Tutter explains about the dragon . Ojo tells her it ' s okay and that she ' s playing house . She doesn ' t want to be saved and isn ' t playing dragon . Tutter calls her " poor , cute little Ojo " and says that she doesn ' t have to act brave anymore - - he ' ll be brave enough for both of them . " If you say so , " allows Ojo . Tutter charges into the fort , but gets buried into a sheet . Both Bear and Ojo ask if he ' s okay . He says he ' s fine , but he has to go . He dashes off . They call after him , but he doesn ' t come back . Tutter and Bear ' s Talk . Ojo asks what is wrong with Tutter and Bear explains that he wanted to be the hero , but he ' s not happy about the way things turn out . Ojo says that she ' s sorry and Bear says it ' s okay . " Bye , Bear , " she says sadly , and enters the fort . Bear says that he should go talk to Tutter . He finds Tutter , who looks out a window and moans . Bear asks if he ' s all right and he says that he isn ' t . He set out to save the damsel and she saved him instead . He wanted to be like Mousey the Great . " But what ' s so great about me ? " " Come here and I ' ll tell you , " says Bear . He and Tutter sing the song " The Greatest Tutter " and Bear outlines all the ways in which Tutter is great . He may not be able to leap tall buildings , but he has a big heart . The song ends and Tutter asks if Bear really thinks all that nice stuff about him . " Of course ! " he says . He tells Tutter that he doesn ' t need to wear armor or anything to be great to him or anyone else in the Big Blue House . " I guess it ' s just great to be me ! " concludes Tutter . " It sure is , " agrees Bear . What Luna Thinks of Boys . Night falls on the Big Blue House and Bear heads up to the attic . He says that he just likes to come out there and look up on the stars . He also comes there to talk to a special friend , Luna . Luna rises and he asks her how she is . She says he ' s happy to see him and asks how things were in the Big Blue House . He tells her that they had " quite a day . " He talks about how Treelo , Pip and Pop had fun at Ojo ' s picnic being boys . Luna agrees that " boys will be boys . " She asks about Tutter and Bear explains about his wanting to be like Mousey the Great and how he found out that there ' s a lot of great things about just being himself . He asks her to tell him something - - " What do you think are boys ? " She says that some of her best friends are boys , like Ray and Bear himself . She thinks boys are really great . Bear thanks her and asks if she ' ll sing the " Goodbye Song " with him . She agrees and they sing it together . Bear then heads back inside the attic and thanks us for visiting . He turns off the light , then turns it back on and asks us to remember that it doesn ' t matter if you ' re a boy or a girl . " What ' s important is that you are you , and that ' s the best thing to be . Bye ! "
