The Adventures of the Wilderness Family Page #4

Breakfast is at seven.

( geese honking )

Are they flying south?

Yeah.

Why are they leaving?

Because they're birds.

They'll be back.

I'm going to miss them.

I wish things would stay the same.

Life's going to be changing constantly.

We wouldn't have a Spring

without a Winter, would we?

I guess not.

What's winter going to be like?

Let's see, uh.. alot of hard work.

And it's going to be alot of fun, too.

You're going to have to weigh in

some more meat, Jenny.

Do we have to?

If we're going to survive.

( softly growling whine)

Stay here.

You can't go with this time.

You stay here.

You watch the cabin.

You awake son?

Yeah...

Let's go.

( soft music )

( music continues )

( music ends )

Boy, it sure is a long ways.

Do you think they know,

we're hunting them?

Yeah, they know.

Hot.

You think we'll get one?

With a little patience.

You know, the Indians believed

that the moose had a spirit.

And if you really needed him, he'd

be happy to give himself to you.

Do you believe in that?

- Yep...

I believe in alot of things the Indians say

after living up here.

( loud gunshot )

We did what we had to do, son.

Understand?

Do you think trees have feelings?

Sure they do.

In fact, they even like music,

it helps them grow.

Then maybe, we should sing to

our vegetable garden every day.

I said music, Jennifer.

Aw, you mean they're choosy?

They prefer classical music.

[ barking ]

Boy, these ought to last us

a whole year.

Not the way Toby eats.

Toby's a hog.

- Jennifer...

Come on.

Let's fill up the whole bucket.

Ok.

No eating!

I'm not!

Crust?

[ Growl ]

Mom..mm!!

It's alright, Jenny!

Here Jen, try to

drink some of this.

-You feel okay?

-Yeah.

Mom, he won't come

back here, will he?

No, sweetheart.

He's miles away from here.

[ door opens ]

[ gasps ]

Oh.. geez...

- Oh, Skip...

Are you alright?

Oh, daddy...

You know how to use that, if you

have to, use both barrels.

Daddy, find Crust.

Don't worry.

Daddy?

No, you're staying with

your mom this time, Toby.

Boy, I wouldn't want to

be that bear, right now.

Mom?

Oh, thanks, Toby.

So, was it scary.

Yeah.

Was it old three-toed?

I don't know, Toby.

What'd you do?

We ran.

Punch him in the nose

and it probably break.

I'll remember that.

[ low growling moan ]

Come here. Come on.

Come on. Come here. Come on.

Good boy.

Crazy dog.

Chasing that grizzly, huh?

That's enough right there.

Are you sure it was old three-toed?

I'm positive.

I tracked it at least five miles.

He just kept going north.

Think he'll come back?

No.

I'm going to try and pick up

his trail again in the morning.

Look, everything's gonna be alright.

I'm gonna take care of it.

Okay?

Okay?

Skip.

Jen's changed.

Her temperature is at 104

You should have woke me sooner.

I've gotta get a doctor up here.

What's happened to this?

I don't know.

The bears know,

they knocked it over.

- Well, Toby, why didn't

you tell us that?

I tried to fix it.

What are we going to do?

Jenny?

Jenny?

I don't like it, Skip?

I'm gonna go for help.

- How?

I'm going to take the river.

You can do that?

- Yes.

Well, how long is it going take?

It won't take long.

Try to keep her temperature down.

Skip!

Is she gonna die?

No, Toby, she's not going to die.

What makes it happen?

There's a big battle going on

inside of her right now.

You trying to stop it?

Mm... hmm.

Boy, these guys sure eat alot.

It's okay, Toby, it's only the wind.

[ growling ]

[ Growls ]

Mommy, what is that?

It's okay, don't panic,

it's only a storm.

I hope dad's okay.

I'm sure he is.

Look, I'll show you, ok?

See, it's just a storm.

[ wind whistling ]

[ wind whooshing ]

Boy, am I ....

[ barks ]

Screams!

Mommy!

You okay, sweetheart?

Okay, come on.

It's okay.

It's a storm.

What made that happen?

It's the wind.

It's very ferocious out there.

Now both of you know, it won't

happen again, alright?

How you feel, honey.

I'm okay, it just scared me.

It scared me, too.

[ growling ]

Sounds like the storm

is almost over.

Yeah, it nearly blew our

whole house down.

It only sounded like that, Toby.

Jenny's fever has gone down.

She should be well soon.

Does that mean that the battle

inside her is almost over?

Almost, it could

come back, you know.

[ growling ]

Somebody is at the door!

Toby, don't open that door!

Mom, what's wrong?

That could be Sampson,

can I let him in?

Get back on the bed.

But, maybe he's hurt!

No! I said get back up

on that bed!

Maybe, he wants us to

come out and play with him.

Who is it?

SSShhh...

I don't think it's Sampson.

Crust!

Get back!

Crust! Get back up here!

- Come on.

Crust!

- yeah, good.

GROWLS!!

Screams!!

- Mommy!

Stay behind me!!

Crust!!

Crust! Get back here!!

Where'd he go?

Mommy, where is he?

I don't know.

I don't know!

Is he gonna come back?

I don't know, Jenny.

GROWLS!!

Kill it! Kill it!

He's coming in!!

Don't grab my arm.

Okay, I'm reloaded. Watch it!

- Where'd he go?

- I don't know.

Move back!

Is it going to come back?

Is it going to come back, mom?

I don't know.

SCREAMS!

GROWLING !!!

Growling !!

- What is it?

It's Samson.

Growling!

[ loud gunshot ]

Come on.

Pat!

Everything's alright.

Alright now, breathe.

Again.

And once more.

That's fine.

So, what's the verdict?

You have the lungs of

an eleven year old.

I mean, besides that.

Two more days in bed.

Aw, two more days?

Either that or another shot.

That's okay, I'll take

the two more days.

I thought you'd say that.

Look what I found.

Oh, Toby, don't bring them in here.

That's alright, she can

have a little company.

Let's us go outside, shall we?

She had a viral infection.

It's a good thing,

you got me up here.

Is it serious, doctor?

It could have been, but those shots

I gave her, should take care of it.

What about her lung condition?

Had nothing to do with her lungs at all.

Are you sure?

They sound as clear as a bell.

She'll be fine.

How have you

been coping with all this?

How do you feel?

I'm okay.

Really, I'm fine.

Amazing.

You keep an eye on her.

- I'll do that.

I'll look in on you folks, when

I am up this way again.

Maybe, we can get in some of

that fishing you told me about.

That would be great.

And keep that new radio in a safe place.

I'll do that.

Thanks, doc.

Goodbye, folks.

- Thank you.

Hey, you know what?

We got to give you a name.

What should we name him?

Don't ask me, ask dad.

Come here, baby.

Maybe, we should name him...

Boo Boo.

I asked the pilot to

come back in the morning.

He's going to fly us all out.

Uh... uhh....

I don't want to go back.

Can't we at least stay, till Christmas?
