1
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:18,678
Mrs. Burp lived in an old, smelly swamp.

2
00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:24,772
She took Thumbelina to a lily pad in a stream nearby.

3
00:00:24,773 --> 00:00:29,952
"This is your new home," said the toad.

4
00:00:29,953 --> 00:00:34,907
"I don't like it here," said Thumbelina.

5
00:00:34,908 --> 00:00:39,942
"Well too bad," said Mrs. Burp.

6
00:00:39,943 --> 00:00:44,694
"You're not going anywhere."

7
00:00:44,695 --> 00:00:49,913
Mrs. Burp disappeared into the darkness.

8
00:00:49,914 --> 00:00:53,196
Thumbelina was scared.

9
00:00:53,197 --> 00:01:00,241
Water was all around her, and there was no way to escape.

10
00:01:00,242 --> 00:01:02,611
"I miss my mother,"

11
00:01:02,612 --> 00:01:14,009
she whispered, then cried herself to sleep.

12
00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:19,220
The next morning, Mrs. Burp was up early.

13
00:01:19,221 --> 00:01:22,280
She woke up her son.

14
00:01:22,281 --> 00:01:29,290
"Croaky! Let's go meet your bride," she said excitedly.

15
00:01:29,291 --> 00:01:33,201
"Be on your best behavior."

16
00:01:33,202 --> 00:01:40,296
Croaky blinked slowly. "Okay, Momma."

17
00:01:40,297 --> 00:01:46,287
Thumbelina was just waking up.

18
00:01:46,288 --> 00:01:51,140
"What a terrible dream!" she said.

19
00:01:51,141 --> 00:01:54,759
Then she opened her eyes.

20
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,207
The two toads were staring at her.

21
00:01:59,208 --> 00:02:03,188
Thumbelina stared back.

22
00:02:03,189 --> 00:02:08,322
Croaky was even bigger than his mother.

23
00:02:08,323 --> 00:02:14,633
"It wasn't a dream," the tiny girl said sadly.

24
00:02:14,634 --> 00:02:22,888
"This is Croaky, your future husband," Mrs. Burp said to her.

25
00:02:22,889 --> 00:02:28,206
"She's pretty, Momma," Croaky said.

26
00:02:28,207 --> 00:02:31,856
Suddenly his eyes moved.

27
00:02:31,857 --> 00:02:35,787
A small fly flew by.

28
00:02:35,788 --> 00:02:42,283
Croaky quickly stuck out a sticky tongue and ate the fly.

29
00:02:42,284 --> 00:02:46,082
"Ugh!" said Thumbelina.

30
00:02:46,083 --> 00:02:52,019
"Now get to know each other," said Mrs. Burp.

31
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:55,992
"I'll be getting ready for your wedding."

32
00:02:55,993 --> 00:02:59,769
She hopped away.

33
00:02:59,770 --> 00:03:05,596
"Please take me home," begged Thumbelina.

34
00:03:05,597 --> 00:03:09,196
Croaky shook his head.

35
00:03:09,197 --> 00:03:11,695
"Momma would be angry.

36
00:03:11,696 --> 00:03:16,668
And you don't want to make Momma angry."

37
00:03:16,669 --> 00:03:22,844
"But I don't want to marry you," said Thumbelina.

38
00:03:22,845 --> 00:03:29,202
Croaky let out a loud burp.

39
00:03:29,203 --> 00:03:34,215
The sound made Thumbelina hate him more.

40
00:03:34,216 --> 00:03:37,157
"I'll make a great husband.

41
00:03:37,158 --> 00:03:43,276
I can catch any kind of bug," he boasted.

42
00:03:43,277 --> 00:03:45,998
"I'll show you."

43
00:03:45,999 --> 00:03:51,851
Just then a beautiful butterfly flew by.

44
00:03:51,852 --> 00:03:59,083
"Watch me!" Croaky jumped into the water, splashing Thumbelina.

45
00:03:59,084 --> 00:04:05,290
He jumped from lily pad to lily pad, chasing the butterfly.

46
00:04:05,291 --> 00:04:10,448
Thumbelina had to do something.

47
00:04:10,449 --> 00:04:14,183
"Croaky!" she yelled loudly.

48
00:04:14,184 --> 00:04:20,582
"Leave that butterfly alone, you big bully!"

49
00:04:20,583 --> 00:04:28,580
Croaky stopped and burst into tears.

50
00:04:28,581 --> 00:04:36,976
"I'm going to tell Momma what you said!" he yelled and hopped away.

51
00:04:36,977 --> 00:04:42,983
Thumbelina watched the butterfly fly away safely.

52
00:04:42,984 --> 00:04:48,023
"I've got to escape too!" she cried.

53
00:04:48,024 --> 00:04:53,069
"Maybe we can help," a voice said.

54
00:04:53,070 --> 00:04:58,056
"Who said that?" Thumbelina looked around.

55
00:04:58,057 --> 00:05:02,212
She saw no one.

56
00:05:02,213 --> 00:05:06,835
"Down here," said the voice.

57
00:05:06,836 --> 00:05:11,653
Thumbelina looked down at the water.

58
00:05:11,654 --> 00:05:15,612
She saw a school of fish.

59
00:05:15,613 --> 00:05:19,761
One of them was looking right at her.

60
00:05:19,762 --> 00:05:26,383
"Croaky thinks it's fun to scare others," said the fish.

61
00:05:26,384 --> 00:05:31,305
"I can see that," said Thumbelina.

62
00:05:31,306 --> 00:05:34,722
"Don't worry," said the fish.

63
00:05:34,723 --> 00:05:42,191
"We'll help you escape."
