(First Lines)
Bless all the people young and old, for they are yours to love and hold, and bless Mr. and Mrs. Cherrywood, amen.
Good night, children. Sweet dreams.
Mrs. Cherrywood, isn't Mr. Cherrywood going to tuck us in?
Oh, he'll be along. Don't you worry.
I hope I'm not too late.
They've been asking for you.
Mr. Cherrywood!
Yay!
Hooray!
Mr. Cherrywood (doing a juggling act): Look sharp, everyone. Watch the bouncing balls. All righty, here we go. A-one, a-two, a-three. And then...ah-ah-ah! Thank you, thank you and...thank you. Now off to sleep to dream of clowns and circuses, acrobats and jugglers. And remember: I want a full report in the morning.
Story, Mr. Cherrywood? Story? Please, the one about the circus?
Please?
Yay! Tell us a story!
Well...all right. (while children cheer) Just one story.
(Cherrywood's children crowd up on beds to listen to him. The old man sits on a red chair, then his wife picks up the toddler from the crib and gives her to him.)
Story hat, story hat!
(As the children are waiting, Mrs. Cherrywood gives her husband his top hat.)
YAY!
(Mr. Cherrywood turns on the lamp on his cabinet.) Mr. Cherrywood (begins story): This is the story of two young children named Kim and Jason, and how they were helped by a group of very special friends: the Care Bears. You see, the Care Bears have a very special mission, and that mission is to help everyone share their feelings with others. The Care Bears live in a magic place...called Care-a-lot.
