- Chenoa: "The Great Blue Bear that lives in the skies, plays with the little..."

   (Chenoa stops as she hears giggles from behind the tree)

- Chenoa: "Very funny Ashwiyaa, how many times have I told you not to spy on me? I hate it when people hear me recite."

- Ashwiyaa (coming from behind the tree): "How'd you know it was me?"

- Chenoa: "As if I haven't heard your laugh more than countless times."

- Ashwiyaa (climbing the tree): "I wasn't spying on you. Chayton's going to help me make my bow. That's why I'm searching for the perfect stick."

  (Chenoa looks right up and stares at her)

- Chenoa (surprised): "Chayton?..."

- Ashwiyaa: "Yes, my friend. You know, the boy you completely soaked with dirty water."

- Chenoa (blushing): "That was an accident, I didn't notice him... Never mind that, but why would he help you make a bow?"

  (Ashwiyaa quickly examines a branch and drops it to the ground. She then jumps down herself)

- Chenoa (annoyed): "Don't do that, what if you broke a leg or something? Your grandmother would..."

- Ashwiyaa (rolling her eyes): "I don't care, it's fun. Anyway, Chayton's my friend and he's nice to help me make my bow so there!"

- Chenoa (sighing): "We'd better go back to the village, just look at you. You are all a mess."

- Ashwiyaa (protesting): "Chenoa!"

- Chenoa (firmly): "Enough of your mischief for today, Ashwiyaa. Let's go."

- Ashwiyaa (meekly): "All right... (with a sneaky grin) Iiiiiif you can caaaaatch me!"

 (Ashwiyaa tears past the bushes)

- Chenoa (grumbling): "Ashwiyaa!"

 (Chenoa runs behind her)

- Ashwiyaa (laughing): "Catch me if you can!"

- Chenoa: "Just wait till I get my hands on you, Ashwiyaa!"

 (Ashwiyaa jumps over a boulder to the other side)

- Chenoa (yelling): "If you fall or something, it's your fault!"

- Ashwiyaa (with her head turned towards to Chenoa): "Oh come on, I've got eyes on my back."

 (Ashwiyaa runs straight toward a bear with her head still turned toward Chenoa)

- Chenoa (breathless): "Ashwiyaaaaa!"

 (Ashwiyaa turns her head as she crashes into the bear)

- Ashwiyaa (getting up): "Ouch, that hurt. I'm sorry Big Paw, I didn't see you. It was an accident..."

- Chenoa: "Ashwiyaa, are you out of your mind! Get back here! That beast will tear you into pieces!"

 (Ashwiyaa pets the bear)

- Ashwiyaa: "Oh, don't worry about him. He's Big Paw, look one of his paws is bigger than the others..."

- Chenoa (sighing): "Oh great, a bear named Big Paw... Nevermind. Let's just go back to the village. (Ashwiyaa approaches) Now you smell like a bear, oh dear. (sigh)"

- Ashwiyaa: "All right then, let's go."

                                    ...

 (Back in the village)
