00:00In the long, long ago, when times were hard and everyone had to work all day and every
00:27day just to be able to keep themselves alive, there was no room anywhere for an animal who
00:34was too small or too scrawny to pull a plow or drive the water wheel.
00:42If he could not give wool, like the sheep, then he was of no use.
00:47Ah, stupid creature, is there nothing you can do?
00:53I have no time for weaklings.
00:55I'll be off with you.
00:58Poor little Burrow.
01:00No matter how willing he was or how hard he tried, if he couldn't do the work, he was
01:08just not wanted.
01:16Is it so strange to wonder why, although I try and try and try, I cannot find a place
01:28to stay or even earn a sheaf of hay?
01:35Can it be because I'm so small that no one needs me, no one at all?
01:43If I were a stallion, a goat, or a camel, I'd be needed and fed every day.
01:50But because I'm a Burrow, a little brown Burrow, no one cares if I go or I stay.
02:02But when I'm bigger and stronger, I know there'll be plenty of places for me to go.
02:10There'll be work to do, a friend of my own, and I'll never again be alone.
02:18I'll have an owner to whom I'll belong.
02:22Oh, how do I get to be big and strong?
02:26I'm not a stallion, a goat, or a camel, and I want to be needed each day.
02:33But because I'm only a Burrow, a little brown Burrow, does no one care if I go or I stay?
03:03Oh, people!
03:12Surely somewhere amongst that hustle and bustle would be water and food and who knows, maybe
03:18even a kind word.
03:21Miserable creature, you don't belong here.
03:30Shoo!
03:32Get out of here, you flea-ridden midget.
03:35This certainly didn't look like the friendly kind of place he'd been hoping for.
03:40Come on, little Burrow, there's room here.
03:48Greedy bunch, there's plenty there for this little Burrow.
03:55He will just have to wait until we're finished.
04:00Surely we come first.
04:03It was all very well for them to take their time.
04:06They got water every day.
04:09But the little brown Burrow hadn't had a drink for such a long time, and oh, he was so thirsty.
04:22Thank you very much indeed.
04:24Mr, uh, Achmed, Ackbar, Ben Hashmid, Omar, Baba the Third.
04:30But you can call me Omar.
04:32Thanks, Omar.
04:34Uh, I say, do you mind?
04:39Water and I are not the best of friends.
04:42Sorry, Omar.
04:43No matter.
04:45Gotta go now.
04:46Things to do, things to see.
04:49The day was finally drawing to a close, and the caravan began to settle down for the night.
04:57It had been a long, hard day for the little Burrow.
05:01He was becoming very, very tired.
05:05May I stay here for the night?
05:07You?
05:08You are a donkey.
05:10We do not share our tent with donkeys.
05:13Be off with you.
05:18Please, may I stay here for the night?
05:21Say with us, you are nothing but an underground donkey, an ass, a jackass.
05:29Shoo!
05:30Be off with you.
05:34What's this?
05:35A mangy donkey?
05:37Go away.
05:38There's no room here for a mangy donkey.
05:44Mangy donkey, mangy donkey.
05:49Ah, be off, you flea-ridden midget, before I skin you alive.
05:57Frightened, exhausted, and feeling very much alone,
06:03Brown Burrow wandered into the dark, forbidden hills.
06:33Oh, Mark, am I glad to see you.
06:56Oh, it's you, is it?
06:58I say, do you mind?
07:00I don't wish to inconvenience you, but it's beginning to get rather wet here.
07:06As the storm raged on, the little Burrow's heart swelled with happiness as he snuggled beside Omar.
07:16At last, he had found a friend.
