Ah, there, that should hold. HELLO, BEN... HELLO. WELL, HELLO TO YOU TOO, BROTHER AND SISTER. YOU LOOK VERY HAPPY TODAY. That's because school is out. YES, IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER. IS THAT SO? DO YOU CUBS HAVE ANY PLAN? NO. JUST FOR FUN. HAHA, HAHA, THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD PLAN TO ME. WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS SUMMER? OH, THIS IS THE BUSIEST TIME OF THE YEAR FOR ME. NOT ONLY DO I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE CROPS, BUT I ALSO HAVE ALL MY REGULAR CHORES TO DO. AND THEN, THERE ARE ALWAYS THINGS THAT NEED FIXING, LIKE THIS DOOR.

AHH... LISTEN TO THAT. I DO NOT HEAR ANYTHING. UMM... ME NEITHER. YOU SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO ANYTHING. AND THAT'S WHAT I LIKE IT. HAHA, HAHA, PEACE AND QUIET DOESN'T LAST LONG HERE. NOW I HAVE COWS TO ORDER AND CHICKENS TO FEED. Wow, that sounds fun. WE CAN HELP? I DONT SEE WHY NOT. CLEAN! EXCELLENT! : SINCE MOST OF THE TIME CHENS LAY THEIR EGGS IN THEIR NESTS... BUT NOT ALWAYS. SOMETIMES THEY PLACE THEM IN HIDDEN PLACES AROUND THE COOPERATIVE, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. OH...SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR THEM. LIKE AN EASTER EGG HUNT. LET'S SEE WHO CAN FIND MORE.

OK. While you do that, I'll go feed the pigs. ♪ BEN! BEN! WE EACH FOUND SIX EGGS. LOOK. By my calculations, that's a dozen. IT WAS FUN. UH HUH. Now, why don't we go milk BESSIE? ♪ GOOD JOB, BROTHER. THAT SHOULD DO IT. HA HA HA, NOW I HAVE TO GIVE MY MOUSE CONTROL COMPUTER SOME. ♪: THERE YOU GO, LITTLE ONE. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US HELP WITH TODAY'S TASKS, BEN. NO, THANKS. IT'S NICE TO HAVE HELP AND I ENJOY THE COMPANY. HAHA, I WOULD LOVE TO DO THIS EVERY DAY. ME TOO. IT WOULD BE FUN TO BE A FARMER.

WELL, SINCE YOU HAVE NOT MADE PLANS FOR THE SUMMER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY THE FARM... WITH ME? SURE. OK. NOW, YOUR SHARE OF THE CORN HARVEST WILL BE FROM THAT BIG OAK TO HERE. OUR PART OF CORN GROWING? SURELY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO WORK WITH ME ON THE FARM, YOU DESERVE A PART OF WHAT THE FARM PRODUCES. Wow, I like corn, but I don't think I could eat a whole field. HA HA NO, THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL YOUR monetary CULTIVATION. COMMERCIAL CULTIVATION? UH HUH. YOU SEE, SOME CROPS ARE GROWN TO FEED FARM ANIMALS AND SOME, LIKE THIS SWEET CORN, ARE GROWN TO SELL IN THE MARKET.

OH...YOU COULD USE MY ROADSTAND IF YOU WANT. MANY PEOPLE STOP TO BUY FRESH VEGETABLES FROM THE COUNTRYSIDE. YOU COULD PAINT A SIGN THAT LOOKS LIKE A CORN COB. AND I COULD MAKE THE SALE. STEP FORWARD, FRIENDS! GET YOUR SWEET CORN HERE! THE SWEETEST CORN IN BEAR COUNTRY! Ha ha ha, I think you'd be quite the salesman. HAHA, MAYBE, BUT BEING A FARMER IS WHAT I AM BEST. ME TOO. COME ON BROTHER. WE HAVE MORE TASKS TO DO. UNTIL LATER, BEN. THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG SUMMER. YOU SAID IT. I THOUGHT THE FARM WAS GOING TO BE FUN.

ARE YOU THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING? LEAVE IT? YES, I'M THINKING WHAT YOU ARE THINKING. BUT HOW DO WE TELL FARMER BEN? WELL...let's say we've learned everything about farming and now we're going to spend the rest of the

summer

learning other things. AND WE THANK YOU. AND HE CAN KEEP OUR PART OF THE CORN FIELD. BREAK TIME, YOU TWO. I thought you could use some frozen lemonade right now. UGH, I KNOW I COULD. THANK YOU, BEN. THANK YOU. YOU ARE WELCOME. FARMER BEN, THERE'S SOMETHING WE... WE WANTED TO SAY. Well, there's also something I wanted to say.

YOU CUPS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. WITH YOUR HELP ON THE FARM, I HAVE HAD TIME TO DO OTHER THINGS, LIKE REPAIR MY TRACTOR. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. Um... WELCOME. NOW WHAT DID YOU WANT TO TELL ME? WELL, WE JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT... THANK YOU FOR THE LEMONADE. WE'RE SURELY THIRST. I'M NOT SURPRISED. It's quite hot. Speaking of which, I'm worrying about our corn crop. AS? IT HASN'T BEEN IN SINCE WEEKS AGO. IT IS A SAD SITUATION FOR THIS CORN. AND WE COULD LOSE THE ENTIRE HARVEST. LOSE THE ENTIRE HARVEST? AFTER ALL THAT WORK?

WELL, THIS IS THE HARD PART OF BEING A FARMER. YOU HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR OPPORTUNITIES WITH MOTHER NATURE. AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? Well, we just have to wait for the rain and get on with all the other tasks that need to be done around here. WHICH IS WHAT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO RETURN TO. SEE YOU LATER, PUPPIES. GOODBYE, BEN. BYE BYE. Wow, farmer BEN is going to lose his entire crop. HE ALSO DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR THAT HE HAS LOST HIS HELPERS from him. I KNOW. THE WEATHER MAY BE DISAPPOINTING YOU, BUT WE WON'T.

YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S A SHAME THAT WE CAN'T MAKE IT RAIN. HEY! There's the old bomb. WE COULD GET WATER FROM THERE. Do you mean watering the field by hand? THAT COULD TAKE FOREVER. THEN YOU BETTER GET STARTED. RIGHT, BROTHER? GOOD. I THINK MY ARMS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. HMM, WELL, IF THEY DO, CAN I USE THEM TO CARRY TWO MORE BUCKETS? I HAVEN'T GOT TO THE THIRD ROW OF CORN YET. WE MAY NOT RUN OUR END OF THE FIELD, BUT AT LEAST WE CAN SAVE PART OF FARMER BEN'S HARVEST. If you two have the courage to water the field by hand, the least I can do is lighten your load.

Put them in the car, brother. OK. FARMERS HAVE TO BE TOGETHER. YES, SURE WE DO. AHH...ENOUGH FOR TODAY. BUT THERE IS STILL MUCH TO DO. WE CAN'T STOP NOW. YOU'RE ALREADY LATE FOR DINNER. I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE LATE TO SLEEP TOO. WE STARTED AGAIN EARLY IN THE MORNING. OKAY, EVERYTHING CORRECT. SEE YOU, BEN... GOODBYE, BEN. Ha ha ha, those puppies have a lot of sense. SISTER! IT'S RAINING. : BEN! BEN! AHH, THIS IS THE BEST HARVEST I'VE HAD IN YEARS. I THINK THAT FARMERS ARE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WELL. WE ARE GOING TO DO WELL.

AHH... SURE WE ARE. IT WAS VERY NICE OF YOU TO INVITE US TO YOUR HARVEST CELEBRATION, BEN. WELL, YOU CAN THANK YOUR PUPPIES. IT WAS THEIR IDEA AND THEY PROVIDED THE CORN. ALSO, WE GAVE SOMETHING TO GREAT AND GRANDPA, SOMETHING TO WIDDER JONES, AND SOMETHING TO PROFESSOR JANE. AND THE REST WE SOLD AT BEN'S STREET STALL. YOU TWO ARE LIKE VERY SUCCESSFUL FARMERS. WE LEARNED A LOT DURING THE SUMMER. UH HUH. I'm glad we stuck with it when things got tough. ME TOO. NOW WHO WANTS MORE? ME PLEASE. THAT'S YOUR FIFTH, DAD. I'M JUST DOING MY PART TO SUPPORT OUR LOCAL FARMERS.

Oh, dad. THANKS DAD. : THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN HAVE DON'T ALWAYS COME FROM A STORE. : WHEN YOU DO IT YOURSELF, IT MEANS A LOT MORE. WOW, LOOK AT THAT! THAT IS THE BEST. NO WAY, HE THAT BLUE IS MUCH BETTER. WILL YOU WATCH THEM? THE DRAGON IS MINE. CALL IT. HE IS THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO WIN THE KITE FLYING CONTEST. SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU, TOO HIGH, BUT ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATIONS, THE BOX KITE IS THE MOST AERODYNAMIC. IT WILL FLY BETTER. WE'LL SEE. I SAY THE BLUE BUTTERFLY IS GOING TO WIN. Hey, look... if we don't get home and ask our parents for one real quick, all the

kite

s are going to run out.

I thought you had already gone fishing. I JUST HAVE TO GET MY TICKET-- WOW-WOW...! BOX. I'M SORRY DAD. WHAT'S THE RUSH? THERE ARE THESE KITES AT BEAR-MART. AND THEY ARE GREAT, REALLY GREAT. And if we don't go down and buy one right now, they'll all be gone. THEN WE CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THE KITE FLYING CONTEST. OH, A KITE FLYING CONTEST? HAHA, DON'T YOU SAY THAT? CAN WE GO, DAD? Well, it just so happens that your dad is a long-time

kite

expert. Uh, IS THAT A YES? YOU CAN BET. OK LET'S GO. ALRIGHT! HURRAH! I guess this means no fishing today?

NOT WHEN THERE ARE KITES TO FLY. OH I KNOW THAT LOOK, HAHA. : DAD, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? A BETTER QUESTION IS WHERE ARE YOU GOING? TO BEAR-MART TO BUY KITES. HAHA, YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY A KITE WHEN YOU CAN MAKE ONE. MAKE ONE? WHY, YOU'RE LOOKING AT BEAR COUNTRY'S NUMBER ONE KITETOLOGIST. NOT ONLY CAN WE MAKE A KITE, IT WILL BE THE HIGHEST FLYING KITE YOU EVER SEEN. THOSE STORE-BOUGHT KITES WILL NOT STAND A CHANCE. COOL! What color is dad going to be? IS IT GOING TO BE BIG? YOU CAN BET. : NOW WE NEED SOME LONG, STRAIGHT AND STRONG STICKS.

AH... SOME HEAVY ROPE. IT IS STUCK! HEY? STICKS. STICKS. CHAIN. CHAIN. PAPER. PAPER. SCISSORS. SCISSORS. ROCK. ROCK? IT'S A JOKE. GLUE. GOOD? WOW. IS AWESOME! IS THE BEST! IT WILL BE THE HIGHEST AND FLYING KITE THERE IS. EVEN HIGHER THAN THAT. YES, NOT BAD. NOT BAD. Let's take Big Red on a test flight, Dad. HAHA, "BIG RED", right? YES, WE WANT TO FLY IN BIG RED. WELL, THIS BRINGS US TO THE LAST CRUCIAL INGREDIENT: PATIENCE. HEY? THAT? WE HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE TO MAKE SURE THE GLUE IS GOOD AND DRY. Then we can take Big Red on a test flight.

OK? OK. : BUT DAD SAID WE HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE MORE TIME. I KNOW. I JUST WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN. WAIT FOR EVERYONE TO SEE IT. THEY WILL BE VERY JEALOUS. UH HUH. BUT LET'S BE CAREFUL NOT TO PRESENT TOO MUCH. IT COULD MAKE THEM FEEL BAD. MAYBE WE CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN KITES... AFTER THE COMPETITION. Hey, brother, look. WOW! THAT'S FARMER BEN'S FIELD. COME ON! OH, LOOK, THE FLOWER KITE. HE IS SO CUTE. Hey bro, check it out. WOW, FREDDY, HE'S SURELY TALL. AND I'M JUST PRACTICING. WAIT UNTIL THE COMPETITION.

Hey, where's your kite? HAVE YOU NOT PURCHASED ONE YET? WE WON'T BUY A KITE, FREDDY. ARE YOU NOT GOING TO BUY A KITE? BUT WHAT ABOUT THE COMPETITION? OH, WE ENTERED THE CONTEST, VERY GOOD. BUT WE ARE MAKING OUR KITE. ALL FOR OURSELVES. WELL, WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM DAD. WHO WANTED TO MAKE A KITE WHEN YOU CAN BUY A BEAUTIFUL BLUE BUTTERFLY LIKE MINE? I'll bet you a quarter that your homemade kite doesn't even leave the ground. THE BIG RED IS GOING TO FLY. IT'S GOING TO BE THE HIGHEST AND FLYINGEST KITE THERE IS. JUST WAIT AND WATCH.

SEE YOU AT THE COMPETITION. EVERYTHING READY FOR A TEST FLIGHT? YAY... YES, HAHA, HAHA! WE HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING UNTIL THE BIG RED CATCHES THE BREEZE. READY? GO! FASTER...DAD, WE HAVE TO GO FASTER. I TRY, uh... I TRY AGAIN. OHH... I CAN'T... UNDERSTAND IT. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE BIG RED IS NEW. YOU JUST NEED A TIME TO FIND OUT, HUH... WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. UH HUH. ONE MORE TIME. HMM. YES... YES, HAHA, HAHA! Oh, that's not what's supposed to happen. I think in all your excitement, Dad, you forgot that every kite needs a tail to stay stable.

AND AN OLD KITETOLOGIST LIKE YOU TOO. TSK, TSK, TSK, JEE-JEE. THE BIG RED IS FLYING, DADDY! THE BIG RED IS... AWW... OH, MAYBE I FORGOT SOMETHING ELSE. I'M GOING TO SEE THOSE COMET PLANS AGAIN. HAHA, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU OWE ME A QUARTER. I told you your homemade kite wouldn't take off. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BIG RED. IT IS A GOOD AND STRONG KITE. HE WILL ALSO BE A HIGH FLYER. BUT IT'S HEAVY. A KITE LIKE THAT NEEDS A GOOD STRONG WIND, OTHERWISE... OHH. EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT. I DESIGNED IT TOO BIG. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO GET A KITE AT BEAR-MART. BUT BIG RED IS OUR KITE. WE DID IT. AND IT'S A GOOD KITE. RIGHT, DAD? OH, I THINK WE MADE A SUPER KITE. BUT WE NEED A GOOD AND STRONG WIND FOR IT TO FLY. TOGETHER WE MADE BIG RED AND BIG RED IS THE KITE WE WANT TO TAKE TO THE COMPETITION. THAT'S HOW IT IS. IF A GOOD AND STRONG WIND DOESN'T COME, THEN IT'S NOT COMING. ALSO, WE REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT WINNING THE COMPETITION. THE SISTER IS RIGHT. WE JUST WANT TO SEE A BIG RED FLY.

OK, so if that's what you want, then that's what we'll do. ALL OR NOTHING FOR THE BIG RED. ♪ HMM, BARELY A BREEZE. OH GOOD. NOW THIS TIME, YOU TWO ARE GOING TO HOLD THE ROPE. I AM TALLER. I CAN HOLD THE KITE HIGHER. ♪ THERE IS NOT ENOUGH WIND. YOU ARE TELLING ME. AHH, PLEASE, DAD. WE CAN'T GIVE UP. THE WIND WILL COME. I KNOW THAT WE JUST HAVE TO TRY ONE MORE. JUST ONE MORE TRY, okay? OK, BUT LET'S PUT GRAVITY ON OUR SIDE. RUNNING HILLS IS EASIER. YEAH! CARRY! HEY, I FEEL... HA HA, WIND! OH, FASTER, FASTER! ♪ HELP, MY BOX KITE IS TOO AERODYNAMIC!

UH OH. ♪ : OH...UH-OH. WAIT! HA HA... BIG RED WANTS TO ENTER ORBIT. WOW! SORRY I LAUGHED AT YOUR KITE, BROTHER. DO YOU THINK YOU COULD SHOW ME HOW TO MAKE ONE? ME TOO. NO PROBLEM. RIGHT, SISTER? YOU CAN BET. ♪ WELL, WHO WON? NOBODY DID IT. EVERYONE HAD SO MUCH FUN FLYING BIG RED, WE ALL FORGOT ABOUT THE CONTEST. AND YOU KNOW IT WAS AS FUN AS FLYING IN BIG RED? MAKING BIG RED WITH YOU, MOM AND DAD. ALL TOGETHER. ♪
