[English]

He's...

Hunnie the Bear!

Hunnie the Bear!

Hungry little baby all fluffed with stuff,

He's Hunnie the Bear,

Hunnie the Bear!

A sunny, funny, hungry little bear!

Oh, look...

Depressed Donkey's s-s-s-sitting out there all alone!

Oh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

We should go cheer him up!

Of course we'll cheer him up!

A magnificent idea!

Of course!

Come on gang,

Let's go!

Hello, old pal...

What's the bother?

Well...

I broke my f****n' leg...

Oh dear...

W-w-w-w-what happened?

I was trying to cross that damn ditch...

I stepped in a hole and snapped... my f****n' leg is broken...

We can take you to a vet,

And you'll be fixed up as good as new!

Ah-hm-hm-hmm

Nope...

A broken leg on a donkey is the end...

That's curtains for me...

To the contrary!

Members of the equine family now have a FAR greater chance of surviving a broken limb!

Still...

Ten to twenty percent isn't a very great chance...

*Gun handling noises*

Shoot me.

Shoot me now...

We will not shoot you...

That's preposterous!

Guess I'll just lay here on the ground until I get body sores and pneumonia...

You don't have to lay here, you know!

Maybe I can support my body weight on three legs...

And catch laminitis...

L-l-laminitis?

It's a hoof disease that horses and donkeys catch...

Usually from having a broken f****ing leg...

It's why I have to die...

Shoot me.

Do it.

Shoot me, Hunnie

*Pumps shotgun*

I... I just can't...

Kill me...

Kill me right now

This guy has got a death wish!

I... I can't...

Fine.

If nobody else'll do it,

I will.

Goodbye.

*Gunshot*

(A weird flute fill. A recorder? I don't know.)

He's...

Hunnie the Bear!

Hunnie the Bear!

Hungry little baby all fluffed with stuff,

He's Hunnie the Bear,

Hunnie the Bear!

A sunny, funny, hungry little bear!
