1
00:00:12,734 --> 00:00:15,704
Pete began his story.

2
00:00:15,705 --> 00:00:19,647
"I remember pulling you on that lily pad.

3
00:00:19,648 --> 00:00:23,294
Then suddenly you were gone.

4
00:00:23,295 --> 00:00:26,548
I thought you fell into the water."

5
00:00:26,549 --> 00:00:31,684
"A bug named Buzz grabbed me," Thumbelina explained.

6
00:00:31,685 --> 00:00:33,579
"But never mind.

7
00:00:33,580 --> 00:00:36,137
Go on with your story."

8
00:00:36,138 --> 00:00:41,526
"The lily pad was still hanging from my leg," said Pete.

9
00:00:41,527 --> 00:00:44,739
"I was looking for you by the stream.

10
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:48,586
The lily pad got caught between some stones.

11
00:00:48,587 --> 00:00:51,904
And I tried and tried to pull it free.

12
00:00:51,905 --> 00:00:54,256
But the lily pad was stuck.

13
00:00:54,257 --> 00:00:56,197
I couldn't move.

14
00:00:56,198 --> 00:00:59,973
I had nothing to eat for a few days.

15
00:00:59,974 --> 00:01:03,351
Finally some friends found me.

16
00:01:03,352 --> 00:01:06,426
They pecked the lily pad to pieces.

17
00:01:06,427 --> 00:01:09,864
But no one could untie the string.

18
00:01:09,865 --> 00:01:14,632
By then it was time for us to fly south."

19
00:01:14,633 --> 00:01:19,242
"Then why are you still here?" said Thumbelina.

20
00:01:19,243 --> 00:01:21,121
"I couldn't go.

21
00:01:21,122 --> 00:01:24,537
I couldn't keep up," said Pete.

22
00:01:24,538 --> 00:01:28,576
"I was weak, so the string felt heavy.

23
00:01:28,577 --> 00:01:31,462
My friends had to leave me.

24
00:01:31,463 --> 00:01:36,196
I was able to keep going alone for a while.

25
00:01:36,197 --> 00:01:41,126
One day my wings wouldn't carry me and I fell.

26
00:01:41,127 --> 00:01:45,386
When I opened my eyes again, I saw you."

27
00:01:45,387 --> 00:01:49,854
"It's my fault," cried Thumbelina.

28
00:01:49,855 --> 00:01:53,663
"No, it's not," said Pete.

29
00:01:53,664 --> 00:01:55,546
"We're friends.

30
00:01:55,547 --> 00:01:58,893
And friends help each other, right?

31
00:01:58,894 --> 00:02:02,477
So thank you for helping me, Thumbelina."

32
00:02:02,478 --> 00:02:06,520
"You're welcome," Thumbelina said shyly.

33
00:02:06,521 --> 00:02:11,089
"Now that you're better, we need to make a plan."

34
00:02:11,090 --> 00:02:15,021
"I'm still a little weak," Pete said.

35
00:02:15,022 --> 00:02:19,218
Thumbelina pointed to the hole above them.

36
00:02:19,219 --> 00:02:21,745
"Can you get through there?"

37
00:02:21,746 --> 00:02:27,402
Pete looked unsure. "I don't know . . ."

38
00:02:27,403 --> 00:02:31,541
"Can you move your wings?" asked Thumbelina.

39
00:02:31,542 --> 00:02:35,883
"I'm still so cold," said Pete.

40
00:02:35,884 --> 00:02:39,167
"But I think I can move them a little."

41
00:02:39,168 --> 00:02:45,385
As they discussed their plan, someone was watching them.

42
00:02:45,386 --> 00:02:50,366
Mrs. Gray had come down the tunnel looking for Thumbelina.

43
00:02:50,367 --> 00:02:56,411
"Thumbelina! What are you doing here?" screamed the mouse.

44
00:02:56,412 --> 00:02:59,678
"Get away from that awful animal!"

45
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:04,943
"Don't talk about Pete like that," said Thumbelina.

46
00:03:04,944 --> 00:03:09,680
Then another shape appeared on the other side of the tunnel.

47
00:03:09,681 --> 00:03:12,227
It was Mr. Rufus.

48
00:03:12,228 --> 00:03:17,228
"What's going on here?" he demanded.

49
00:03:17,229 --> 00:03:21,951
"It's alive, Mr. Rufus," cried Mrs. Gray.

50
00:03:21,952 --> 00:03:25,344
"That bird is not dead!"

51
00:03:25,345 --> 00:03:30,070
"What?" Mr. Rufus said, shaking his head.

52
00:03:30,071 --> 00:03:32,298
"Well, never mind.

53
00:03:32,299 --> 00:03:35,546
It won't be alive for long."

54
00:03:35,547 --> 00:03:39,553
"What do you mean?" asked Thumbelina.

55
00:03:39,554 --> 00:03:44,427
"Slim's coming," said Mr. Rufus, looking up.

56
00:03:44,428 --> 00:03:47,668
"I told him to meet me here."

57
00:03:47,669 --> 00:03:52,117
Suddenly the ground above them began to shake.

58
00:03:52,118 --> 00:03:54,603
Dirt fell on their heads.

59
00:03:54,604 --> 00:03:57,537
The coyote had arrived.

60
00:03:57,538 --> 00:04:03,866
And he was sniffing around.
