The Adventures of the Wilderness Family Page #3

Guess we just bit off more than

we could chew out here.

Do you want to go back?

I like it here.

I'm staying.

But don't you miss your friends, Toby?

They're all here.

I've got a lot of friends here.

What about the things that frighten you?

I'm not scared of nothing, right dad?

Right, Toby.

Got to have respect for things.

What about you Jenny?

What do you think?

Well, there are some bad things...

but there's a lot more good things.

Like what?

Like having the best back yard

in the whole world.

And being together.

Your turn, Pat.

Looks like I'm out-numbered.

Wonder what we got here?

Hey.

You're a good old dog.

Yes, you are.

Just a good old dog.

Let's giddy up and visit

your family there.

Introduce me to them.

- Hi.

- Howdy.

You folks sure are a surprise.

Well, we just moved in.

Well, we're trying to, anyways.

Well, looks like you're doing

a good job of it.

That's a mighty fine set

of kids you got there.

Thank you very much.

This is my wife, Pat.

Howdy ma'am.

My daughter, Jenny.

And my son, Toby.

Howdy.

My name is Skip.

Hey, it's a pleasure to meet you.

My name is Willy Parsen.

Except, my friends, that is, what

I got left of them, god bless them.

They call me, Boomer.

- Boomer.

- Well, listen, are you hungry.

Are you interested

in some food or drink?

Hey, now.

That's mighty hospitable of you.

Come on back!

Every time we go some where

you're more stubborn than

my grandma!

I'll be right with you.

Every time we go some place he

don't wanna, it's like peeling potatoes.

Donkey is the worse dog in the world.

You folks planning on spending

the winter up here?

- Yeah.

- Uh, we were....

but, uh, we might not anymore.

Well, what happened?

Yesterday, Jenny got attacked

by a pack of wolves.

Wolves don't attack people,

they just get inquisitive.

Nah, I was there.

Oh yeah, you want to tell me

what happened out there?

Yeah, I was out looking for, Crust.

Wait. Now wait a minute.

Who's this here Crust?

Our dog.

Oh, well, there you go.

No, they'll attack a dog every time.

No, about the only thing around here

that will go after a man, is old three-toed.

- Three-toed is......

- Who's three-toed?

Three-toed is an old grizzly.

Hated people, ever since he got

his foot caught in a bear trap.

You know, he's been known to

bring down 3 to 4 cows, in one night.

You don't think he'll come

around here, do you?

No.

Now he mostly stays up north.

My eyes are a little bit

bigger than my belly.

I think that was enough for me,

but it was a mighty fine meal, ma'am.

And I do appreciate it.

Would you like to have

some more coffee?

Yeah, love to. Thank you.

Here you go Skip. Thank you kindly.

Yes sir, this place here sure do bring

back a flood of memories.

Did you know the man

that built that place?

Yeah, I know'd him.

I know'd him...

and I buried him.

Sure has been a long time since

me and old Jake sit up here...

swapping lies.

What kind of man was he?

Most folks didn't like him.

But then, he didn't like most folks.

Sure did like his animals though.

What kind of animals?

Oh, you name it, he had it.

Well, thank you ma'am.

What did he do with the animals?

He raised them.

He raised them from babies.

Yes sir, this here place used to

be a regular orphanage.

Old Flore over there,

she used to hate it.

He didn't by any chance

have a black bear, did he?

Why, you seen one?

Yeah, he chased us and

we ran up on the roof.

Right up here, right?

That would be old Samson.

Hey now, you wait till he starts

to nibbling on your ear.

He is that tame?

Just like an old watermelon.

How do you know he's tame?

Well, I'll tell you what.

You walk right up and

introduce yourself to him.

Oh...

What else does he got?

Well, let's see.

He had some wild geese...

some otters...

had a raccoon.

Did they used to steal food?

Yes sir.

Unless they was dying, they was

always looking for a free meal.

Kinda like me.

Well, I got to go.

But, can't you stay

a little while longer?

Well now ma'am, I'd love to,

I really would.

but, uh,

I've got to make 15 miles...

Dang blast it!

Where'd they come from?

We're raising them.

Come back here!

Don't you run away!

Flore!

You kids stay right where you are!

If they run off with that mule, he's

gonna chase them plumb out of the country!

Hey, Flore!

Flore!

Kids, come back here.

Flore!

Oh, wait! Thanks.

Thank you kindly for the grub,ma'am.

Hey, I'll see you later.

Flore! Come back here!

Where you going?

What would you do if you were

out in the wilderness and

you hadn't had any means of medicine?

- I know.

- What?

You should boil everything first.

Why?

Because, that's how they

would disinfect things, right?

Right.

Very good.

Okay, you see that mark

on that tree over there?

What did it?

A woodpecker.

Wrong.

It was a bear.

That's how they mark

their territory around here.

You think it was old three-toed?

No, three-toed is way north of here.

But, that is a big bear.

Hey, let's go find the geese

that Boomer told us about?

Yeah. Let's go.

Come on. Yeah.

Alouette, gentille Alouette

Alouette, je te plumerai,

Je te plumerai la tte,

O-o-o-oh...

Alouette, gentille Alouette

Alouette, je te plumerai,

Je te plumerai la tte,

(Je te plumerai la tte)

- Et la tte

- (Et la tte)

- Et le nez

- (Et la nez)

- Et le bouche

- (Et la bouche)

O-o-o-oh...

Alouette, gentille Alouette,

Alouette, je te plumerai,

Guess what? OK! Hold it?

Guess what?

What?

Next Spring, the four of us

are going to plant...

the most beautiful vegetable

garden in the world.

Yay.. ay... !

And over here we're

going to plant corn.

Hooray... !

And over there, we're

going to plant tomatoes.

Here, lettuce.

And over there is going to be? Ha! Ha!

Spinach.

Hooray...! Boo...!

( growling )

( screaming )

Skip! What are we going to do?

I don't know.

It's just old Samson.

Yeah, go on dad.

What do mean, go on?

Go on and introduce yourself,

like Boomer said.

Boomer said that, not me.

( laughing )

It's not funny.

Come on dad, I'll even

go with you.

Toby, get back here.

Samson, huh.

- Skip...

- Skip!

- What?

- Be careful.

Samson..?

Samson?

See what I got here?

Would you like a little bread?

Come on, big fella.

Come on.

Whoa... oh... ohh...

Ohh..!

Oh dad, when's he going to leave?

I don't know.

Maybe, if we stop feeding him

he'll get tired.

Maybe, he'll get mad.

I think we better keep feeding him.

You're right.

It says here, that they gorge themselves

before going into hibernation for the winter.

It's not even Autumn yet.

Maybe, he's starting early this year.

I don't know about that.

Well, what are we going to do

when we run out of food?

We'll have to get back up on the roof.

You know you're not suppose to

put your feet up on the table...

it's bad manners.

Goodnight, Skip.

Goodnight, dad.

Goodnight, guys.

Don't you have a girlfriend some place?

Here's the last one.

Are you ready to go?

Goodnight, Samson.
