i'm so glad that you're all right

we did not finish our game sarah

no thank you

i think sarah's learned her lesson

lesson

i don't have anything to prove after all

i stayed on my log all the way down the

fast water

[Music]

[Laughter]

i meant to do that

[Music]

grandpa sorrow could you tell us one of

the great long neck stories

[Music]

well

i think we might be able to remember a

story or two

[Music]

now

who knows how long next got their name

oh it is because they have long necks

yep yep yep everyone knows that

but did you know that long necks didn't

always have long necks

they didn't

many cold times ago

before you or i had hatched long necks

had short necks

back then the trees were very short so

they could eat tree stars from the top

of the trees

[Music]

the trees would sing to the bright

circle every day as it crossed the sky

the bright circle liked their song so

much that it reached down and pulled the

trees until they were very tall that way

they would be closer to the sky when

they sang their bright circle songs

[Music]

but now the tree stars were so high that

the short-necked long necks couldn't

reach them

[Music]

that night the night circle felt sorry

for them

and reached down to comfort them

[Music]

the light made them feel better

[Music]

and so

they lifted their heads up to get closer

to the night circle

[Music]

in doing so their necks stretched enough

to reach the tree stars

the kindness of the night circle helped

us become

long necks

and that is how long necks got their

long necks

that was a very good story yup yup yup

[Music]

looks like talking about tree stars made

spike hungry

[Music]

[Music]

must have been great to get to tell

stories all the time it is an honor to

tell the great long neck stories

and a very important job

but some of the long necks have begun to

forget their stories

that's why you have to come back and be

a story speaker again

oh i don't think i can we'll travel the

land telling everyone the great long

neck stories just like we used to

it sounds like a nice idea

so you're going to be the story speaker

again grandpa

of course he is

sorrow i'm sorry i know how important

the stories are and i loved being a

story speaker but

that was long ago

things are different now

what do you mean grandpa

my place is here in the great valley

with you and grandma and all the others

but you're the story speaker the long

necks need you

i need you

i can't tell the stories on my own

sorrow i am very sorry but even though

my days of wandering have passed and

you've turned your back on the long

necks and all of our traditions

charo wage

i have nothing left to say to you

[Music]

grandpa

are you okay

no i feel bad for sorrow

he's hurt and angry and i don't want him

to feel that way

[Music]

i had hoped sorrow would someday become

a story speaker

he knows the stories as well as i ever

did

why didn't you tell him

well i never had the chance and now

sorrow's too angry to listen to me

well it's sad really and i've already

begun to forget some of the long neck

stories

i can't let the longneck stories be lost

i've gotta find

[Music]

sorrow uh-oh

sarah's footprints lead out into the

mysterious beyond

[Music]

who is it

come on out i'm not scared of you

[Music]

why would you be scared of me

oh chomper i was just

what are you doing

i'm following you

what are you doing

i'm following sorrow's footprints i have

to bring him back grandpa wants him to

be the new story speaker wow

then you're gonna need my sniffer so you

can find him fast

[Music]

i got him

then let's go

[Music]

a big long neck like sorrow probably

just stepped right over this ledge

[Music]

it's too high for me

almost

almost

not quite

but maybe a whole pile of rocks will

help us climb over

[Music]

too bad sarah's not here

she's really good at pushing things

around

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

that should do it

let's give it a try

[Music]

yeah

it worked little foot

we make a pretty good team chomper yeah

we do

now let's go try to catch up with sorrow

[Music]

his smell is getting stronger

[Music]

come on little foot

i'm coming i'm coming

[Music]

there he is

littlefoot

chomper what are you doing following me

we came to ask you to come back to the

great valley you need to talk to my

grandpa

[Music]

i don't have anything more to say to him

why are you so mad at littlefoot's

grandpa

if he doesn't come with me to be the

story speaker all the great stories will

be forgotten

well why can't you be the story speaker

because he's the story speaker

i can't do it by myself

i can't

look

sliding rocks

[Music]

one

[Music]

oh no

we're trapped

get on

quick

hold on

oh thank you sorrow you saved us

you shouldn't have followed me

those rocks are now blocking the way

back to the great valley

oh no

we're trapped

say

did your grandpa ever tell you the story

of tall stepper

tall stepper

i don't think so

tall stepper grew up to be a great long

neck leader but when he was young just

about your age he learned a great lesson

about being brave

[Music]

tall stepper and his little sister were

playing one day and having a great time

they were having so much fun that the

wind became very jealous

the wind swirled and blew around tall

stepper's sister and carried her into

the air

and up into its wind cave in a tall tall

mountain

tall stepper was scared to follow the

wind up into its wind cave but he knew

that if he was going to save his sister

that is what he would have to do

when tall stepper reached the cave the

wind made a deal with him

if he could beat the wind in a race down

the mountain

his sister would be released

tall stepper knew it would be dangerous

but he knew he had to do it to save his

sister

[Music]

no one had ever beaten the wind before

[Music]

but tall stepper found the courage he

needed to race faster than any long neck

before him

because tall stepper found courage when

he was afraid

he was able to beat the wind down the

mountain

the wind kept his promise and brought

tall stepper sister back from the cave

[Music]

tall stepper grew into a great leader

and whenever he needed to be brave he

remembered how he once had the courage

to beat the wind

and sometimes when i need courage

i think of tall stepper two

wow

thanks for telling us that story sorrow

yeah

i feel better now

grandpa little foot yeah i hear him too

grandpa

grandpa

little foot we find you petrie

what are you doing here

we find them everyone over here

[Music]

[Music]

how did you guys find us

we followed your footprints to follow

you up into the canyon then we heard it

the rock slide we heard you yelling too

[Music]

sorrow

there's something i want to talk to you

about

about what i said earlier

i'm sorry about that

no no sorrow

i think you should be the new story

speaker

me

but

i can't tell the great stories without

you

but sorrow you told us a story the one

about tall stepper

we were really scared but your story

helped us feel a lot better

you see sorrow you saw a chance for one

of the great stories to teach something

important at a time of need

that's what a good storyteller does

that's what a story speaker does

[Music]

so

you really think i'm ready to be a story

speaker

i know you are

me too that's right

i just wish i had told you earlier

i

i don't know what to say

i thought story speakers always had

something to say

maybe you're right

in fact this reminds me of the story

about the very first story speaker her

name was first voice one day the first

voice came upon a great cave but when

she walked into the cave she began to

hear the footsteps

no no

petrie are you okay

no

this place a mess

so

what's the big deal

you not remember

today bright circle celebration

oh

that is it that time again

[Music]

you know i don't really know if i know

about the bright circle celebration

know

petrie tries to make you work all day

[Music]

right circle c celebration if good then

bright circles stay in sky longer and

longer until warm times come

the bright circle is watching us

yes bright circle always watching

no it isn't

so the bright circle doesn't like the

celebration

something wrong sarah why would a

grown-up like you care about the bright

circle

well there's nothing wrong with being

thankful sarah me so thankful

yeah and i'm thankful i'm done pushing

that silly tree

[Music]

hmm

i have to learn what i've learned since

last cold time

i know what i've learned it yes yes yes

i guess whatever ducky learned is

underwater

she's going awfully deep

[Music]

maybe she's trying to get underwater

green food for the celebration

there's green food underwater

time to get it

bubbles

[Music]

i practiced it very much since the last

bright circle celebration i did i did

that was really impressive ducky

[Music]

well i bet i've learned more than all of

you i learned um

bright circle too

[Music]

oh forget it

forget what sarah

forget everything i'm so sick of hearing

about the bright circle

like it fine i just don't think we need

a whole celebration to thank you for

being there

what's next am i supposed to start

thanking the trees and rocks for being

here too

well if you want to yes yes yes

well i don't want to the bright circle

is just a ball in the sky that's going

to come and go and make warm times just

like always it doesn't need a

celebration

i think everyone can make up their own

minds about the bright circle and the

celebration

then go ahead and waste your day if you

want to but i'm not helping and i'm not

celebrating

[Music]

here

we'll have a feast of our own

while everyone else is busy with that

bright circle nonsense

silly

friends to the mud pool yes
