Have you seen the Easter Bunny?

Look! Where is he?

I saw him here before. - You saw him? Where?

He hopped along that way.

He hopped right along there?

There.

Then he must have got there.

I think I saw something!

I think I saw something too! - Where?

I'm faster!

I think rabbits like to crawl through tree stumps.

Help!

I really didn't see him! - I'll be right back.

It's still alive.

Any casualties?

No, don't think so.

Hi Kalle, this is car 23.

We've a traffic accident with a deer; no casualties.

Can you contact the person with the hunting rights?

Is the car drivable? - I'll look now.

We'll organize the tow truck.

Car 23. Nobody's answering.

Can you call the forester?

No reply.

Okay, I'll handle it.

Move to one side, please.

Please move aside.

I've won!

Sorry!

Now come here.

Every trick in the book!

Yes, okay.

Ducks and birds they live forever.

They always live.

How do they always live? - The birds and the ducks.

Oh, you mean the... - And the frogs.

Yes, the frogs, too. Have you ever seen one?

Have you seen the bird-houses?

Mama? - Where?

Up there? Did you look if there are birds in them?

Aren't there any? - Only Mama and Papa bird.

And the baby-birds, the baby-birds.

Baby-birds, too.

The little chicks.

The little birds come out of their mothers' bellies.

Then they're mini-mini-birds. - They're just as small as you.

They are so small. - Yes.

Can you see any?

If you keep quiet, you'll see lots of animals.

I can see a worm. - Where.

There.

He's dancing! - He's dancing?

A worm can't dance.

Why not?

Here's the border, you can't go down here.

Here's the border.

And if you take it away,

he can go in here.

Let's make a home for the earthworm.

Look to the left.

The fish are in the water.

Call to the fish.

They won't come, they're in the south.

Tastes delicious.

Yes? -Hmm!

Do you like it, too? - Hmm!

Hmm?

Sure looks like it!

What did you do this morning?

I gave Hob some apple.

Who? -Hob.

Hob.

Hob?

Hmm. - Hmm.

Who's Hob?

He lives in our garden.

In our wall. - He lives in our wall?

And what does Hob look like?

He's very gray. - Gray. And does he have any hair?

Or is he bald?

He's bald.

Is he really that old?

I thought he had really long hair.

A bit longer.

A bit longer? - Down to here.

And does he live alone in his hole? - Hmm.

But with friends, too. - Aha.

In the hole.

And who are his friends?

A spider...

and an ant.

Do you want to know... what he likes to eat best of all?

Spaghetti?

Nuts. - Nuts?

Hazelnuts?

Walnuts. - Walnuts.

Walnuts.

And is Hob fast or slow?

Slow.

He's always dawdling.

He's always dawdling.

You can't just...

You can't just get up and leave me there like a little boy.

I've been looking for you everywhere, right through the house.

Why can't you get up and say goodnight?

Is it too much to ask that I should know where you are?

Is that too much to ask?

Time to get up, Clara.

My dear.

Get up!

I want to sleep.

No, you have to get up.

Wake up! Come on!

Somebody's tired, hmm?

Come on! Take off your pyjamas. Come on.

So, come on.

Through wind and snow St. Martin rode, Upon his steed that swiftly trod.

St. Martin rode in cheerful mood, Wrapped warm and snug inside...

his cloak.

Down below, in the snow,

There crouched a poor old man,

Dressed in rags, no clothing on.

'Oh, help me in my need,' he cried.

'Or the bitter frost will be my death.'

St. Martin... tore his cloak in two

And handed half

to the man below.

'Thank you, good sir!' the beggar spoke,

As St. Martin rode away with half his cloak.

So...

Earthworms.

Hmm.

They're all coming out.

Look!

Let's make another hole.

Look!

Wow! Look how many there are.

So many!

They look so pretty.

Make them wet.

The stone needs washing.

It was really dirty.

Yes, then you must wash it.

I washed the stone,

washed the stone.

All the stones. - That looks really pretty now.

We can put them back down again. - The stones?

But then the plants won't come through.

Then we must leave it all open.

That's right.

So the flowers grow. - Always open.

Yes. It's a garden.

Shall we watch how the things grow?

That takes a long time. - A long time?

Three or four or five hours.

Not so hard!

... from the Netherlands is fighting for every meter.

He's much stronger than in the first heat.

Sixty-nine meters!

That's still less than Ghostbuster 1.

A full pull!

102.99 metres, enough for the...

He went through the door, cameras at the ready, he's next up!

Landy, Durk Feenstra!

On his turbine!

33500 revolutions!

1500 horse power!

Custom gearbox, kerosene fired!

Madness!

Full pull!

He, too, will be in the finals.

Landy!

Wait, I'll help you.

It's such a lovely day.

How does it go again?

It's such a lovely day.

Such a lovely day.

And I'm strong, strong,

strong as a tiger.

And tall, tall as a giraffe.

And I can jump, jump, jump, jump, jump.

And I can swim, swim, swim.

And Hob!

And I take you by the hand because I like you so.

It's such a lovely day, la, Ia, Ia, la, la, Ia.

Such a lovely day, la, la, la, Ia, la, la.

Such a lovely day, la, la, la, Ia, la, la.

Where is Papa?

Papa is at work.

Shall we go to sleep now?

Yes. - Okay, let's...

turn the light off. - How do we do that?

Wait.

Look what I dreamt.

Look!

We both dreamt that. - Yes.

We both dreamt that.
