30 NARRATOR 1 MOTHER BEAR LITTLE ROBIN MOTHER BEAR LITTLE ROBIN NARRATOR 2 LITTLE ROBIN NARRATOR 1 NARRATOR 2 One spring day, when Mother Bear was little, she found a baby robin in the garden. A baby robin too little to fly. Oh, how sweet you are. Where did you come from? From my nest. And where is your nest, Little Robin? I think it is up there. No, that was a bluebird s nest. Maybe it is over there. No, that was an oriole s nest. Mother Bear looked all over but could not find a robin s nest. 1

31 MOTHER BEAR NARRATOR 1 You can live with me. You can be my robin. She took Little Robin in the house and made a little home for him. LITTLE ROBIN NARRATOR 2 LITTLE ROBIN MOTHER BEAR NARRATOR 1 NARRATOR 2 NARRATOR 1 2 Please put me by the window. I like to look out at the trees and the sky. Mother Bear put Little Robin by the window. Oh! It must be fun to fly out there. It will be fun to fly in here, too! Little Robin ate. He grew. He sang. Soon, he could fly. He flew around the house. And it was fun, like Mother Bear said it would be. But then one day, Little Robin was not happy.

32 MOTHER BEAR LITTLE ROBIN MOTHER BEAR LITTLE ROBIN MOTHER BEAR LITTLE ROBIN NARRATOR 2 MOTHER BEAR NARRATOR 1 Why are you so sad, Little Robin? I don t know. My heart is sad. Sing a song. I cannot. Fly around the house. I cannot. Mother Bear s eyes filled with tears. She took Little Robin outside and into the garden. I love you, Little Robin. But I want you to be happy. Fly away, if you wish. You are free! The robin flew far up into the sky. 3

33 NARRATOR 2 NARRATOR 1 LITTLE ROBIN NARRATOR 2 LITTLE BEAR GRANDMOTHER BEAR LITTLE BEAR He sang a high, sweet song. Then Little Robin came down and sat on Mother Bear s finger. Do not be sad. I love you, too. I must fly out into the world, but I will come back. I will come back every year. So Mother Bear kissed Little Robin, and he flew away. And he came back, Grandmother. Didn t he? Oh, yes, Little Bear! He came back. And his children came back. And his children s children, too. Here is one now. Ah! I would have let Little Robin go free, too, Grandmother. Just as Mother Bear did. Hurray! Here is Grandfather. GRANDMOTHER BEAR Then it is coffee time. 4
