  SPEAKER_01: Not for playing.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_01: I need to do something about you.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: Mr Rabbit drove to town to seek some answers, or even better, find someone to deal with her.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_01: He wasn't used to having someone in his house, let alone someone so mischievous.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: Whee stop that.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: The first stop, of course, was the garden center.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: Ouch! I'm sorry, but we can't accept a return if you've opened the packet.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: But you see, it's not the kind of carrot I was expecting.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: Next they headed to the supermarket, but it was clear carrot didn't belong there.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: None of these carrots can walk or talk.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um, can we get some of these?
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: Even a trip to the library didn't help.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously this carrot was just one of a kind.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_01: How fun! Not even books can explain you.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: Nobody seemed to have any answers.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: It looks like you're stuck with me.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: I don't have time for this.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: There's always time.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: Let's explore! What are we doing here?
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: I've never seen a movie.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um the thing is, I I'm not very good at being in the dark.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: Don't worry, carrots like me are very good at it.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: After the movie they kept exploring.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: Mr.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: Rabbit was usually scared to try new things, but with Carrot by his side, it didn't seem so bad.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: I think I'm getting the hang of this.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: Although the theme park might have been a step too far.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: Again?
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_01: Uh maybe not.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: So Mr Rabbit picked what they did next.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: Carrot soon realized that calm things could also be fun.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: I am totally getting the hang of this.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_01: And Mr Rabbit realized that he hadn't felt lonely since meeting Carrot.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: He was so used to being alone.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_01: He'd never thought about having someone around.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um, Carrot, how do you make friends?
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: It seemed to Carrot that Mr.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_01: Rabbit already knew the answer.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: He just needed a little reminder, so she led him to the garden.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: First things first.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, just like I grew you.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_01: Together they cared for the seeds.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_01: Love, patience, and warmth.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_01: All that was left to do was wait.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: So they waited and waited and waited until it was time to pull.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: Who do you have in there?
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know, but I have a good feeling about this one.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_01: And just like that, Mr.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: Rabbit and Carrot kept growing more and more friends.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: But as you might imagine, they remained the very best of friends, and winters were never boring again.
