[ MAMA ]: HEALTHY FOOD IS GOOD FOR BROTHER, SIS AND DAD,

HOW CAN MAMA MAKE THEM STOP EATING FOOD THAT IS BAD?

[ MUNCHING AND CHEWING ]

MM, I SEE THE BEAR COUNTRY RUN IS COMING UP AGAIN.

PARDON, DEAR?

I SAID, THE BEAR COUNTRY RUN IS COMING UP AGAIN!

I USED TO RUN IN THAT RACE.

THAT'S THE RACE YOU USED TO RUN IN.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID!

YOU WERE A RUNNER?

WHY, SURE.

TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF.

LOOK AT THAT TROPHY.

[ MAMA ]: YES. PAPA WAS ONE FLEET-FOOTED BEAR.

WAS? I STILL AM.

HA, WELL, I HAVE SEEN YOU DASH TO THE REFRIGERATOR

AND BE BACK BEFORE THE COMMERCIAL ENDS.

[ LAUGHING ]

I ADMIT I LIKE MY SNACKS.

BUT ALL KIDDING ASIDE,

I BET I CAN STILL KEEP UP WITH BEARS HALF MY AGE.

[ BROTHER ]: WHY DON'T YOU

ENTER THE RACE, PAPA?

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF YOU WON?

YOU KNOW WHAT? I AM GOING TO ENTER THAT RACE.

YAY!

AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE?

I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS ENTRY FORM STRAIGHT DOWN

TO THE COMMUNITY CENTRE AND BE BACK

BEFORE SUPPER IS ON THE TABLE...

WITHOUT TAKING THE CAR.

YAY, PAPA.

GO, PAPA!

[ PANTING ]

PAPA BEAR, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

OH, AH, FINE...FINE, JUST A...

LITTLE OUT OF BREATH IS ALL, DR. GRIZZLY.

DID YOUR CAR BREAK DOWN?

OH, NO...NO, I WAS...

I WAS JUST JOGGING TO THE COMMUNITY CENTRE...

TO ENTER THIS YEAR'S BEAR COUNTRY RUN.

THAT'S GREAT!

EXERCISE IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.

I AGREE...100%!

WELL, ENJOY YOUR RUN.

OH, I WILL.

[ PANTING ]

MIND OVER MUSCLE, THAT'S... ALL IT IS.

[ GROANING ]

OH, MAYBE ENTERING THIS RACE...

ISN'T SUCH A GOOD IDEA AFTER ALL.

AHH, BEST QUIT WHILE I'M AHEAD.

WHERE'S A TAXI WHEN YOU NEED ONE?

OHH, OOOH, AAHH-AH-AH,

OH-OHHHH.

PAPA,

YOU'RE BACK ALREADY?

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

[ GROANING ]

YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD, PAPA.

AH, I'M JUST A LITTLE SORE, THAT'S ALL.

I'VE DECIDED NOT TO RUN IN THE RACE AFTER ALL.

MAYBE NEXT YEAR.

[ GROANING ]

OR THE YEAR AFTER.

THAT'S NO WAY TO TALK, PAPA.

THERE'S STILL LOTS OF TIME TO PREPARE FOR THE RACE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WE'LL HELP YOU GET IN SHAPE.

AND WE'LL EVEN ENTER THE RACE WITH YOU.

WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA -- HOW CAN

YOU TURN DOWN AN OFFER LIKE THAT?

[ BROTHER ]: WE CAN DO IT, PAPA.

[ SISTER ]: WE'RE A TEAM.

HMM, ALL RIGHT. I'LL, I'LL DO IT.

YAY!

OH, IT'S TIME TO GET MYSELF IN SHAPE FOR THE RACE. OHHHH!

STARTING TOMORROW, OF COURSE.

WE'LL BE IN SHAPE FOR

THAT RACE IN NO TIME.

WHERE ARE WE GOING TO DO OUR PRACTICE RUN?

HOW ABOUT WE RUN TO THAT BIG TREE ON HEMLOCK HILL?

SURE.

OK. IT'LL BE A PIECE OF CAKE.

WE'RE OFF!

[ PANTING ]

[ SISTER

ALMOST THERE?

[ PANTING ]

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

[ PANTING ]

OK, I-I-I, I THINK WE'VE RUN FAR ENOUGH FOR...ONE DAY.

[ PANTING ]

GEE, I DON'T GET THIS TIRED WHEN I'M PLAYING BASEBALL.

HA, WELL...YOU'RE RUNNING A LOT

FARTHER THAN SECOND BASE, SIS.

[ PANTING ]

THANKS FOR THE ICE CREAM, PAPA.

MMM, THANKS!

YOU'RE WELCOME.

I THINK WE DID PRETTY WELL FOR OUR FIRST TIME OUT.

UH-HUH.

ME TOO.

NOW, THERE IS A MEAL FIT FOR A FIT KING.

WELCOME BACK!

I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR MY THREE-- HUH?

SWEETSIE-COLA?

THE ICE CREAM MADE US THIRSTY.

ICE CREAM? OHH... I SUPPOSE YOU'RE TOO FULL

TO ENJOY THIS HEALTHY MEAL I'VE MADE.

WELL, YOU KNOW HOW A SCOOP OF RASPBERRY RIPPLE

CAN FILL YOU UP.

THAT'S THREE SCOOPS, PAPA.

AND DON'T FORGET THEY WERE CHOCOLATE-DIPPED

WITH COOKIE CRUMBS, TOO.

[ LAUGHING AWKWARDLY ]

I HELD OFF ON THE RAINBOW SPRINKLES.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE HAVING LEFTOVERS TOMORROW.

NIBBLY-BITS.

CHOCO-CHUMS.

MMM, THESE SUGAR-BALLS LOOK GOOD.

I THINK WE FORGOT THE FUDGE.

AND THE CREAMY-CRUNCHIES.

NOW, WHAT'S ALL THIS?

OH, I JUST REMEMBERED!

THERE'S A SPECIAL ON SWEETSIE-COLA IN AISLE SEVEN.

ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

DON'T YOU THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH?

YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH SWEETSIE-COLA.

DR. GRIZZLY, I'M SO SORRY.

I, I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE.

DON'T WORRY. NO HARM DONE.

SO, HOW IS YOUR TRAINING FOR THE BIG RACE COMING ALONG?

YOU KNOW WHAT? THE CUBS HAVE JOINED ME.

WE'RE RUNNING LIKE THE WIND.

NOW, PAPA, THAT'S NOT WHAT

THE CUBS HAVE BEEN SAYING.

ALL RIGHT...

FOR ABOUT TWO BLOCKS WE'RE RUNNING LIKE THE WIND.

THEN WE'RE TOO WINDED TO KEEP RUNNING.

OH?

I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO FARTHER.

WE'VE BEEN PRACTISING FOR NEARLY TWO WEEKS.

HELLO, DR. GRIZZLY.

HI, DR. GRIZZLY.

HELLO, BROTHER AND SISTER.

I'LL GET THAT.

OOPS!

[ LAUGHING ]

[ DR. GRIZZLY ]: THINK I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA

WHY YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF STEAM.

MAYBE ALL OF YOU SHOULD STOP BY MY CLINIC

FOR A LITTLE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

SURE THING, DR. GRIZZLY, UH, HA...

WE'LL BE THERE TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

TOMORROW AFTERNOON WILL BE FINE. SEE YOU THEN.

MAYBE SHE HAS SOME KIND OF HIGH-SPEED JOGGING SUIT FOR US.

OR MAYBE SOME TURBO-POWERED

RUNNING SHOES.

YOU SHOULDN'T GET YOUR HOPES UP

FOR A FANCY SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM.

COME ON, CUBS -- WE HAVE TO GET

TO AISLE SEVEN FOR THE SWEETSIE-COLA.

YOUR BODY IS LIKE A TRAIN ENGINE.

IT NEEDS THE RIGHT KIND OF FUEL TO RUN PROPERLY.

IF YOU FEED YOUR BODY THE WRONG TYPE OF FUEL,

IT WON'T RUN PROPERLY -- LET ME SHOW YOU.

A MOVIE, GREAT! GOOD THING I BROUGHT SOME POPCORN.

THIS IS WHAT YOUR BODY LOOKS LIKE FROM THE OUTSIDE.

AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE INSIDE.

WOW, IT'S A HORROR SHOW.

NOT QUITE, BROTHER -- YOU SEE, OUR BODIES ARE MADE UP

OF VARIOUS SYSTEMS THAT ALL WORK TOGETHER.

WE HAVE A SYSTEM OF NERVES THAT LETS US FEEL AND THINK;

A SYSTEM THAT KEEPS THE BLOOD FLOWING THROUGHOUT THE BODY;

A SYSTEM OF MUSCLES THAT LETS US MOVE AND GIVES US STRENGTH;

AND A SYSTEM FOR FOOD DIGESTION THAT LETS US TAKE IN NOURISHMENT

TO GIVE US ENERGY AND KEEP ALL THE OTHER SYSTEMS HEALTHY.

IS THAT THE SYSTEM WE NEED TO GIVE OUR BODIES FUEL?

EXACTLY -- NOW, HERE ARE THE FOUR MAIN

FOOD GROUPS THAT HELP FUEL YOUR BODY.

DR. GRIZZLY,

WHAT ABOUT SUGAR-BALLS?

AND CHOCO-CHUMS?

AND SWEETSIE-COLA?

SWEETS AND GOODIES DON'T GIVE YOU

THE KIND OF NOURISHMENT YOUR BODY NEEDS.

ARE THEY BAD FOR US?

HAVING TREATS OCCASIONALLY IS FINE.

IF YOU HAVE TOO MUCH, THEY FILL YOU UP, AND YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY

FOR THE HEALTHY FOODS

YOUR BODY REALLY NEEDS.

IF WE'RE GOING TO GET IN SHAPE FOR THE RACE,

WE HAVE TO START FEEDING OUR BODIES THE RIGHT FUEL.

YOU SAID IT, RIGHT, PAPA?

AHEM, OH...YES, UH... YES, ABSOLUTELY.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, DR. GRIZZLY.

YOU'RE MOST WELCOME.

HELP YOURSELF.

[ CHUCKLING ]

WELL, CUBS, IT'S TIME FOR US TO GET OUR TRAINS

BACK ON THE TRACK.

YOU'RE RIGHT, PAPA. CHOO-CHOO!

CHUGGA-CHUGGA, CHUGGA-CHUGGA.

CHOO-CHOO!

WOO-WOO!

HA-HA, GET ON BOARD, SON. WOO-WOO!

UH, HA, I THINK I'LL WALK.

I NEED THE EXERCISE.

THANKS, DR. GRIZZLY. SEE YOU LATER.

GOODBYE, BROTHER.

[ GASPING ]

HUH?

YAY, YOU DID IT!

WHEW! OHH, IT WASN'T EASY KEEPING UP WITH THE CUBS.

[ PANTING ]

[ BROTHER ]: YOU DID GREAT, PAPA.

YOU'RE AS FAST AS BEARS HALF YOUR AGE.

OH, NOW, I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.

BUT, IF I STAY IN SHAPE AND KEEP EXERCISING,

I MIGHT BE BY NEXT YEAR.

WELL, I'M PROUD OF ALL OF YOU.

AH, I HAVE AN IDEA -- LET'S GO HOME AND CELEBRATE

BY OPENING UP THE FREEZER AND--

UH-UH-UH,

IT'S FAR TOO EASY TO FALL BACK INTO THE JUNK FOOD HABIT.

WE'LL CELEBRATE WITH CARROT STICKS.

AND SOME NUTS AND RAISINS.

YES. YES...THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

[ SISTER ]: OH, PAPA.

[ LAUGHING ]

[ SISTER ]: IT'S VACATION TIME.

HOORAY, HOORAY!

LET'S SPEND IT OUTDOORS.

LET'S GET AWAY.

[ SIGHING ]

BORED WITH SUMMER VACATION ALREADY?

HA-HA, YOU'VE ONLY BEEN OUT OF SCHOOL FOR A WEEK.

I'M NOT BORED. I JUST...CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO DO.

ME NEITHER.

THIS CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY.

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT INTEREST YOU.

[ BROTHER ]: "GRIZZLY TED'S DAY CAMP"?

"HIKING, SWIMMING, CRAFTS."

"ALL THE SUMMER ADVENTURE"

"A GROWING CUB COULD DREAM OF."

HEY, THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

OR YOU CUBS COULD ALWAYS WORK WITH ME

THIS SUMMER IN THE WOOD SHOP.
