A Camping We Will Go/Transcript

• Storyteller: It was a beautiful weekend, and Caillou was very excited because he was going camping.
• Caillou: Mommy, I need to go. Now.
• Mom: Are you sure you can't wait?
• (Mom stops the car at a rest area with restrooms on it, and she and Caillou get out of the car)
• Rosie: Caillou? (crying)
• Dad: What's a matter, Rosie?
• Rosie: Mommy gone!
• Dad: You're right, and so is Caillou.
• (Dad and Rosie get out of the car)
• Dad: There you are.
• Rosie: Yay!
• Dad: Where's Caillou?
• (Rosie giggles)
• Mom: He needed to make a pit stop.
• Rosie: Caillou!
• Caillou: I'm finished.
• Mom: Come on. We'd better get going.
• Dad: Yeah, let's get this show on the road. On second thought...
• Mom: What's the matter, honey?
• Dad: I think I'd better go, too.
• (Caillou, Mom, and Rosie laugh)
• Caillou: (pointing at a sign with a moose on it) What's that?
• Mom: It's a moose-crossing sign. There are a lot of moose in the forest, and that tells drivers to watch for them.
• Caillou: A moose?! Wow! Can I see one?
• Rosie: Rosie, too!
• Mom: You shouldn't get your hopes up too high, Caillou.
• Caillou: Why?
• Dad: Because moose are very shy.
• Storyteller: Caillou thought it was strange that such a big animal could be shy.
• (The family reaches the campsite)
• Pierre: Hi, folks! Welcome to Camp Brome! My name's Pierre! What's yours?
• Caillou: Caillou.
• Pierre: You're going to have lots of adventures here, Caillou. You can play games, and go swimming, and even climb a mountain! What would you like to do first?
• Caillou: I want to see a moose.
• Pierre: I'm afraid it's not very likely. Moose stay away from people most of the time. I don't think we've ever seen one in the camp before.
• (Mom and Dad are trying to put the trailer up)
• Pierre: What do you say we give 'em a hand with that?
• (Caillou and Pierre help Dad and Mom with the trailer)
• Rosie: (giggles)
• Caillou: (giggles)
• Pierre: Nice work, Caillou.
• (Scene cuts to a lake, where Mom is swimming)
• Mom: Are you coming in, Caillou?
• Caillou: Wait for me, Mommy! (He sees little fish swimming in the water and gets scared)
• Mom: What's the matter, sweetie? Come on, the water's great.
• Caillou: But something's swimming in the water.
• Mom: Those are little fish, Caillou. Don't worry. They're more afraid of you than you are of them.
• Storyteller: Caillou wasn't so sure that he wanted to swim anymore.
• Caillou: It's too deep.
• Mom: It isn't deep at all.
• Caillou: It's cold.
• Mom: Don't you want to splash me?
• (Caillou gets in the water, and he and Mom have a splash fight)
• Storyteller: Once Caillou got into the water, he wasn't afraid anymore.
• (Mom and Caillou laugh)
• Storyteller: And pretty soon, it was time for lunch. (batches of hamburger on buns)
• Mom: Mmmmm! Something smells awfully good. I could eat a horse.
• Dad: Well, I could eat a moose.
• (kids giggle)
• Rosie: Moose! Moose!
• Caillou: Look!
• Mom: Oh, no, a chipmunk. Shoo! Shoo! (Chipmunk taken a dibs of hamburger buns)
• (Caillou and Rosie giggle)
• Dad: We really shouldn't feed the wild animals, Caillou. (Caillou got the dibs on hamburger bun)
• Caillou: Why?
• Dad: Because they have to get their food from the forest. (Caillou eats a dib of hamburger bun)
• Mom: What are you 2 doing this afternoon?
• Dad: We're going mountain climbing.
• Caillou: Yeah!
• Dad: That's it, Caillou. Keep going. You're doing great.
• (Caillou slips)
• Dad: Are you okay?
• Storyteller: Caillou was frightened when he slipped, but he wanted Daddy to see how brave he was.
• Dad: We're almost there. Look.
• (He and Caillou get to the top)
• Caillou: Oh!
• Dad: We did it! I'm very proud of you.
• (The sun sets, and Caillou and Dad are sleeping in the hammock)
• (Dad snores)
• Mom: I guess mountain climbing must be hard work.
• Rosie: (giggles)
• Mom: Come on, guys. It's bedtime. Everything's ready in the trailer.
• Caillou: I want to stay in the hammock.
• Dad: It would be fun to sleep outside.
• Mom: Okay then.
• Storyteller: Caillou loved sleeping in the hammock in his Daddy's arms.
• (owl hoots)
• Mom: Night-night. Sleep tight.
• Caillou and Dad: Don't let the bedbugs bite.
• (giggling)
• (Morning comes, and Caillou is the first one awake.)
• Caillou: (gasps) Huh?
• Storyteller: Caillou was very impressed by the moose. He had never seen such a big animal before.
• Caillou: Mommy, Mommy! Come and see! Daddy! Daddy, look!
• Dad: Oh, wow!
• (Mom and Rosie come out in their pajamas)
• Dad: Shhh! We have to be as quiet as mice. Remember, moose are very shy.
• (The family is quiet)
• Caillou: (whispers) It's a moose.
• Rosie: (yells) Moose! Moose!
• (the moose goes away)
• Rosie: Moose gone. (giggles)
• (The whole family laughs)
• Storyteller: Caillou thought it was funny that such a big animal could be frightened away by a little girl like Rosie.
