the voice of the

wilderness, signing off."

See, I told you this

would be a good place.

Look at all the flowers.

I sure won't want to go

down that way again.

Oh, we won't. We'll go down

the other side, it'll be easy.

Sure is beautiful

up here, isn't it?

Yeah. Do you think the kids in L.A.

heard of that Happy Jack Jackson?

Oh, I doubt it.

I never heard of Happy Jack

Jackson, until we came up here.

Look at this.

Oh, beautiful.

I think it's a wild orchid.

I'll give this one to mom.

What's that?!

I don't know.

Let's go find out.

- Let's.

Come on.

Look, Toby. Look.

Cubs.

What are they?

I think they're little cougar cubs.

Where's their mother?

I don't know, but

we better stay away.

You think their mother will be mad,

if she knows that we were there.

I don't know, but we're

going to leave them alone.

They're following us.

Come on. Hurry up.

Quick, Toby!

Aghhh!

Jenny! Jenny! Help! Help!

They're killing me!

They're killing me!

It's okay.

They're just playing. It's alright.

Do you see their

mother anywhere?

No, I don't see her around.

Maybe their on their own.

- It's licking me.

[laughing and giggling]

Come on, let's take

them back to the cabin.

-Yeah.

- Come on. Come on.

Come on, kitty.

Come on.

One more load.

-Set them over there.

Hey, Skip, look.

Hey, we got these guys.

Look.

- Did you miss us?

- Where did you find them?

They were up on the hill.

And they followed us,

all the way home.

Well, where is their mother?

That's the point.

They don't have any.

Jenny, show me

where you found them.

What's wrong?

- We're taking them back.

Aw, dad.

You don't take baby animals

out of the forest, like that.

But dad, they just followed us.

Jenny, just show me

where you found them.

Their mother's probably

looking for them, right now.

Toby, you stay here.

Aw, dad.

Why would you do that?

You know that's

not the right thing.

Dad?

What?

They were up by that rock.

Well, that's their den up there, Jenny.

You should have known better.

Stay here with the dog.

Run, Jenny.

Get outta here!!

Crust!

Crust!

Come back here!

Daddy!

Get on him, Crust!

Do it !

Come on, Crust!

Daddy, be careful !!

Get away from him!

Go on, get out of here!

Daddy.

Did he hurt you?

I'm alright, Jenny.

Come here, sweetheart.

Crust, just ...

I'm ok, I'm okay.

I'm alright.

Now you know not

to take home babies?

Yeah.

You're bleeding, daddy.

It's alright.

They are only scratches.

[ snorts ]

Oh, Skip.

Come on, it's only scratches.

You kids go play with the bears and

stay close to the cabin, I mean it.

I'm sorry, dad.

It's alright, just

remember what I said.

- Oh boy!

It's okay. Come on.

I don't know how you

can take this so lightly?

I'm a world champion?

Skip, you're making

a joke out of this.

If something would have

happen to the kids out there, I ...

The only thing that

happen to the children,

they both learned a

very valuable lesson.

That's a terrific school.

You ... you risk ...you risk

your life for a... a lesson.

I mean, that could have been,

Toby or Jen out there.

But it wasn't, it was me.

Skip, you're not thinking about

what could have happen.

I'm thinking alot about

what could have happened, Pat,

and it is over and it's not

going to happen again!

You're sure of that, huh?

I can't talk to you.

Wait a minute, Skip.

- I'm taking a walk.

I want to disguss this!

Here, dad.

Thanks, Jenny.

Maybe, you ought to

cook her dinner tonight.

That's a good idea.

Do you here that?

It's the plane.

What's it doing here?

Maybe, we got visitors.

It's the mail.

Let's go!

Come on, mom!

Look it, he dropped it in the lake.

Boy, I hope it's something good.

What is it?

A big package for Toby and Jen!

Oh, yay! -Yay!

Who's it from?

The school board!

How'd they ever find us out here?

I squealed!

Oh, dad!

From your sister?

Everything alright?

She sends you her love.

And she says, the smog is

worse than ever.

[ thunder crash ]

[ thunder rumbling ]

Thank you dear Lord

for this beautiful day.

For home and work

and happy play

Thank you from us

when the day is done.

and mother takes care of everyone.

And most of all...

thank you

for taking care of all of us today...

so we can be here together.

Amen.

Amen.

Aa... men!

Now, can I, mom?

Okay.

Where did they come from?

Mom got them while you

were out fishing.

With one shot.

Well, what were they doing,

flying piggy-back?

Oh, Skip.

They were no closer together than yours.

Yeah, and mom got two.

Well, I think we ought to cut it.

Smells great.

cooked in wild onion.

Hey, guess what?

Everything on this table...

we provided for, ourselves.

You look beautiful.

Thanks.

For a sharp-shooter.

[ laughs ]

You sure they weren't asleep?

- I'm not sure.

Mom, I don't see how this

is going to help us out here.

You don't want to

grow up ignorant, do you?

What's ignorant?

Look it up in the dictionary.

I don't know how to.

See, that's what I mean.

You might not always live here.

You'll have to know those things, Toby.

I'm staying here forever.

Okay, and what if you want

to build your own cabin.

Will you know how?

Dad will help me.

Mom, can't we do this tonight?

Couldn't we play

during the day at least?

Will you do your

studies tonight, though?

- Sure.

- Yeah.

Do you promise?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Okay, close your books.

Go tell your dad, lunch is

going to be soon.

Okay.

Take your sweater.

- Alright.

- Bye.

- Bye, Bye.

Go back and tell mom! Quick!

Crust!

Crust!

- Where are the kids?

- What happened?

- Where are the kids?

Well, they went to look for you.

They're not there.

Is the dog with them?

- Yeah.

- Okay, you stay right here.

- Wait here!

- Skip!

Skip! Wait a minute!

- Dad! A bear!

Where's Jenny?

He's alright.

He's got a couple scratches.

Let's go home.

It's all past now.

Don't worry mom.

They'll be back home in no time.

Do you want to play checkers mom?

Sure, why not?

Is it red?

[ whining ]

[ dog whimpers ]

Oh no.

- Nothing. She's fine.

I was so scared.

Oh, oh.

Did you check her, is she okay?

She's fine.

Okay, go lie down, Crust.

Good girl. Go lie down.
