    ♪ Where the honeysuckle vine ♪
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    ♪ Twines itself around the door ♪
  • 0:21 - 0:27
    ♪ A sweetheart mine is waiting ♪
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    ♪ Patiently for me ♪
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    ♪ So please come back to...
  • 0:34 - 0:38
    The typical American farm
    presents many interesting sights.
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    This show horse is the pride of the farm and
    the winner of many blue ribbons.
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    He is trained to perform in every gait.
  • 0:45 - 0:52
    First, let's see you do a trot.
  • 0:54 - 1:00
    Now, the gallop.
  • 1:00 - 1:00
    That's fine.
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    Now, do a canter.
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    ♪ I'm happy about the whole thing. ♪
  • 1:04 - 1:05
    ♪ The way that you walk, ♪
  • 1:05 - 1:07
    ♪ the way that you talk. ♪
  • 1:07 - 1:11
    Hey, hey! That's enough of that.
  • 1:13 - 1:17
    Here we find the farmer's
    faithful old watchdog.
  • 1:19 - 1:21
    Though he is no longer very active,
  • 1:21 - 1:24
    he still does a few little odd jobs
    around the house.
  • 1:24 - 1:28
    One of his chores is to fetch the newspaper.
  • 1:28 - 1:29
    [whistling sound]
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    Oh, there's the paper now.
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    [barks]
  • 1:55 - 2:00
    I can hardly wait to see what
    happened to Dick Tracy.
  • 2:03 - 2:06
    Here is a group of cute little piggies
    playing in the mud.
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    Well, what are they up to?
  • 2:10 - 2:15
    They seem fascinated by that clock. Oh well.
  • 2:15 - 2:20
    Here's the proud mother hen,
    carefully watching over her eggs,
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    anxiously awaiting the eventful day.
  • 2:23 - 2:27
    What a happy, little family this will be.
  • 2:28 - 2:29
    What's this?
  • 2:29 - 2:30
    A weasel!
  • 2:30 - 2:32
    The ruthless thief of the barnyard.
  • 2:32 - 2:39
    Watching his chance to sneak in and steal
    those defenseless little eggs.
  • 2:40 - 2:46
    He draws closer, and closer, and closer!
  • 2:54 - 2:56
    Boo!
  • 2:57 - 3:01
    Don't ever do that!
  • 3:08 - 3:12
    In the nearby trees, we find
    many species of bird life.
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    The birds always... oh, look up there.
  • 3:19 - 3:20
    No. No. Over to the left. See?
  • 3:21 - 3:25
    A little owl, nestling inside the tree trunk.
  • 3:25 - 3:37
    Whoo! Whoo! Whoo's Yehudi? Whoo?
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    Here's an interesting sight.
  • 3:39 - 3:42
    A young couple laboriously building their nest
  • 3:43 - 3:47
    with a bit of string from here,
    and a piece of straw from there.
  • 3:48 - 3:53
    A little twig. A bit of string. Piece of straw.
    A little twig. A bit of string. Piece of straw.
  • 3:53 - 3:55
    A little twig. Bit of string. Piece of straw.
    Little twig. String. Straw.
  • 3:55 - 3:56
    Twig. String. Straw.
  • 3:56 - 3:56
    Twig. String. Straw.
  • 3:56 - 3:57
    Twig. String. Straw.
  • 4:00 - 4:05
    ♪ There's no place like home! ♪
  • 4:06 - 4:13
    At the edge of the woods,
    field mice make their home.
  • 4:13 - 4:15
    Here we see one of the most common types.
  • 4:15 - 4:20
    Say, he seems to be a bit worried.
  • 4:20 - 4:23
    Tell me little fellow, what seems
    to be troubling you?
  • 4:23 - 4:27
    I don't know, Doc.
  • 4:27 - 4:34
    I, I just keep hearing things.
  • 4:34 - 4:41
    Even the tiniest of insects, such as the ants,
    have a language all their own.
  • 4:44 - 4:47
    Emerging from the opening,
    comes a female of the species.
  • 4:47 - 4:51
    If you listen very closely,
    you can hear her calling to her young.
  • 4:51 - 4:55
    Henry!!!
  • 4:56 - 4:59
    Coming, mother.
  • 5:04 - 5:08
    A modern farm is conducted on a business-like...
  • 5:08 - 5:10
    Well, here are those little piggies again.
  • 5:11 - 5:13
    Say piggies, why don't you go off and play?
  • 5:15 - 5:17
    Mmm, Mmm!
  • 5:17 - 5:22
    Oh well, suit yourself.
  • 5:22 - 5:26
    Here is one of the strangest friendships
    that has ever been known.
  • 5:26 - 5:33
    Natural enemies, yet living together as friends;
    a cat and a mouse.
  • 5:36 - 5:39
    Tell me, is it true that the cat
    takes good care of you?
  • 5:39 - 5:42
    Uh, huh.
  • 5:42 - 5:44
    And keeps you nice and warm?
  • 5:44 - 5:46
    Uh, huh.
  • 5:47 - 5:50
    Well that's truly a friendship.
  • 5:50 - 5:51
    Now before we leave you,
  • 5:51 - 5:55
    is there anything that you would like to
    say to your friends in the audience?
  • 5:55 - 5:58
    Uh, huh.
  • 5:58 - 6:02
    GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!
  • 6:09 - 6:12
    And so, as the day draws to a close,
  • 6:12 - 6:15
    and the sun sinks slowly in the west.
  • 6:16 - 6:19
    We reluctantly take our leave of the farm.
  • 6:19 - 6:21
    Well, the piggies again!
  • 6:21 - 6:23
    Are they going to stay there all night?
  • 6:23 - 6:26
    What in the world can the attraction be?
  • 6:33 - 6:37
    DINNER TIME!!!
  • 7:02 - 7:10
    Oh dear, every day it's the same thing!
