Go outside for two days, but behave yourselves. Well, that's enough for an omelette. Off we go.
You can run a bit on the way home. He sings beautifully. You're so fortunate to have such a lovely bullfinch mother.
He is a charming little animal, yes. He wants to tell us something I think. Oh, I know, he's hi- Sophie, since when do you understand their language?
Look, he knows that I'm going to take care of him. Come on Paul, let's find some food for him. But did he tell you what he wanted to eat? Er, no. He does have a slight preference for chickweed and planting.
Let's go to the garden, hurry Paul! Calm down, Jupiter! Hello Madam Lusche, we want to gather chickweed and plantain. Oh, don't speak to me about chickweed and plantain, please, Miss Sophie. I've spent the day trying to pull them out.
Why? Because they're weeds. Why do weeds have to be pulled out anyway? They grow by themselves and hurt the good plants. Really?
Mother once called me a bad seed. She must have been angry. You're not bad, Sophie. You get into mischief.
It's lots of fun sometimes. Here, I found a little chickweed for you. But we're going to need a lot more. You can gather as much as you want on the road.
There's plenty of it. Oh, a pheasant! Look Paul, there's some chickweed, just like Madame Luchet's. And look there, it's plantain.
How was I supposed to know? Miss Albion showed us a picture of it. Oh Miss...
Miss Arbyon this, Miss Arbyon that. Can't you talk about more pleasant things? I thought you'd like to know.
Sorry. Oh, there are stinging nettles everywhere. Ouch! Miss Arbyon, did you tell you about them? Paul, that wasn't funny.
What? I didn't do anything. It wasn't you! What wasn't? I had lines, and I felt something on my back.
Huh! An acorn! It's been nibbled on! Look up there!
Oh, Paul, I want him! Catch him! Catch him!
Sophie, I'm sorry, but we have to go home. You're always afraid of being scolded, you know. A very small handful would have been enough.
Oh, this is for you, my little wolf-inch. My dear. I thought he was hungry. You always mean well, I know. Now, you mustn't stay alone in here while I'm gone.
Where are you going? I'm going for a walk. But Mama, please let me come with you. Wasn't I a good girl today? Yes, just a bit excessive.
Yes, alright. Go and get ready, Sophie. Would you like to come too?
Uh-huh. Stay close to me children. I don't want you to get lost. Yes, Aunty. We are going to follow you so that we don't get lost.
Strawberries! It would be such a shame not to eat them. Strawberry?
You are not to stop! Oh, they look delicious and ripe too. Since you have forbidden to pick them, I'll help you close your eyes.
You don't know what's good. All you care about is the bay. Stay with me, Paul!
No, I don't want to get lost in the woods. Coward! They're so delicious! I was right to have stopped.
And if I run, I'll catch up with Paul and Mother. These look even riper! They must be sweeter too. Oh, they're so nice and red, the best strawberries I've ever had. They smell so good too!
Walk in front of me children! Where's Sophie? She stopped back there, Aunty.
Sophie! Sophie, where are you? We're being followed by wolves!
Grandma? Aaaaaah! Oooooooh!
Aaaaaah! Oh, the waves are faster! Harder! Harder!
Be brave, Colton! Attack! Attack!
I told you to stay close to me! Ow! Are you hurt? Everything is fine now.
You were brave and you remained calm. I'm very proud of you. Are you crying? Does something hurt you, Sophie?
You hit me, Mother. I was so frightened. Sophie, now do you know why I insisted that you stay close to me?
Oh yes, Mama. I'm sorry that I disobeyed you. I hope that the fright you had will be a lesson to you.
I'm sorry I called you a coward. My cousin speaks before she thinks. You called Paul a coward?
Why, it was he who saved you! No, Auntie. It was the dogs that saved Sophie. It was thanks to you that Jupiter and Sultan fought so bravely. Oh, Paul.
I'll always love you with all my... Ah, it seems that my family has been walking today. Oh, my dear, Sophie gave us an awful fright today. And what is it this time, eh? She didn't stay close to us in the woods and...
But it looks as though the dogs have been fighting. Ah, my darling Sophie. You're bleeding, dear.
A wolf tried to eat me. But it isn't one, Uncle. It's only strawberry. Thanks to Paul, Sophie wasn't injured.
My little daughter was almost gobbled up. Tell me exactly what happened. I forbade the children to go off on their own, but as usual, Sophie chose not to obey me. seem to obey.
It's not my fault. Be careful or you'll step in my dustpan. You're very amusing in that costume.
You're so handsome, Paul. Your mother gave me this costume as a reward. What are you hiding behind your back?
A surprise for you. Only don't open it too wide. My squirrel! How did you catch him? Oh, with the...
Like somebody else, I know. But he prefers nuts to strawberries. strawberries. Take him out! He'll run away.
We have to find a cage for him. A cage? Oh yes, just like the finches.
It's not as pretty as the bull finches cage. If we fix it up a little it will be just fine. Ah.
First we make it really thin. We had better straighten the wires. I'll do that. Hold the cage tight. Let me help you.
There. Is that what you had in mind, Paul? He'll need to sleep on something, like straw. I'll go and get some.
If we put a few branches inside, he can play with them. It's much prettier now. He'll bite and make noise, that's all. What a silly idea to bring that miserable beast home. The squirrel is not a miserable beast.
You'll see, he'll behave. The poor thing is fragile. I'll pet him so he'll get used to me. Ow! Ow!
Oh! My nose ring! Oh, that squirrel!
Come back! He's on top of the cupboards! The footstool! Catch him! Oh!
Be careful, he's escaped! Why did you run away? I don't want to do you any harm. I'm going to catch him! Catch him!
Catch him! Catch him! Catch him! Catch him! Catch him!
Catch him! Catch him! Catch him!
Catch him! Catch him! Catch him!
Catch him! Catch him! Catch him!
Catch him! Catch him! Catch him!
Catch him! Catch him! Catch him! Catch him!
Catch him! What are we going to do, Paul? Leave him where he is. Don't forget that he bit you.
It's because he doesn't know me yet, that once I begin to feed him, we'll become friends. He'll never get used to being locked up. Oh, please, Paul.
Throw the ball up and perhaps he'll... Come down. Then we can put him back in his cage. I'll try, but I can't promise it. Bad boy.
Why did you kill... kill my squirrel, but you asked me to throw the ball up. To bring him down, not to kill him.
But I didn't mean to kill him. I, it was an accident. Why did you let him escape? You're stupid. Go away.
And I have had enough. You make mischief and you blame everyone else. Bad seed.
You're the bad seed. I'm going to ask my mother to send you home. Stop arguing, both of you.
And once you're home, you're... Your parents won't want you either and they'll send you off to school. You know, perhaps you're not just mischievous, but evil.
No, I didn't mean it. I want you to stay here with me. I would be so sad without you.
Stop it! You're choking me! Stop moving your finger.
You deserve what you got. You're glad, aren't you, Mina? I should have given him hazelnuts, almonds and bread. Why am I so awful, Paul? That's not true.
You're not a bad seed, Sophie, and I love you like a sister. And you're always so nice to me. Not like my mother and father who always get so angry.
Yes, but you're very lucky. At least you live with your parents. I hardly ever see them.
The dogs are thirsty. Let's go down to the pond. We've walked enough. Let's go back.
No, I'll take you to the farm. Oh, what a wonderful idea! Let's have some fresh milk.
Stop shaking your leg. Oh, how are you, Miss Sophie? Hello there, Paul.
Hello, Madame Billard. Mmm, the milk is so much better here. Ready?
I didn't bring you here for the milk. This way. Shhh!
Look! Oh! Whose is he? Whoever wants him!
If this goes on, soon I'll have more cats than rats on this farm! Well then he's mine! If he's yours, do you mind if I pet him? He's so soft and gentle.
I'll hold him in my arms and cuddle him until he falls asleep. Ah? He'll love me, whether I'm mischievous or not.
What shall we call him? Kitty! Oh no, that's too ordinary. Why not Pretty Kitty? Yes!
Pretty Kitty! Pretty Kitty, where are you? He went inside.
What are you doing here? Your mother and your cat are acquainted, Aurélien. Our acquaintance ends here. Do you mean we can't keep him?
You may not bring a cat into the house. It would frighten my bird. I'll keep him in my room. No Sophie, not in your room. In the kitchen.
And that is where he must stay. Pretty Kitty will always be mine, even if he lives in the kitchen. He couldn't have asked for a bit of place.
Look! A few bits of meat for Miss Sophie's new cat. Gabriel, I'll take the plate.
He's my cat and I want to take care of him. Eat your food, Pretty Kitty. I'm going to look after you. You're going to be so happy here. He's tired.
Shhh! It's time for pretty kitty's nap. That was close.
It's your turn, Sophie. You missed it! How could you?
It was so close! It's such a pity to have a cat and not be able to play with him. Is he still asleep? No. He must be awake by now.
Where are you going? Sophie, you've forbidden to take him out. You're wrong, Paul. Mother only said he was not to go inside of the house. She didn't say anything about outside.
Hmm. Are you quite sure? Of course I'm sure.
Stay close to me, pretty kitty. Come back! Pretty Kitty was naughty. Poor thing.
You're too hard on him. He's too young to understand. Young or old, it's important to learn how to behave. Where did he go?
Beep beep! No! Come here!
Oh, the vase! Hurry! You mustn't go upstairs!
There he is! The book! Come back! No, it's not in there!
Stay there! Ah! He came out!
No! What's wrong children? He's going to kill him!
Who? Oh! Please father don't! Oh! You never learned it.
Mother! Hoot! Look!
Your bird is alive! Thank heaven! You poor thing! Sophie, I forbid you to ever bring an animal into this house. Please, father.
Come, Paul. We shall bring this cat to Lambert right now. There is no place for disillusioned creatures in this house. There is no place for disobedient creatures in this house! Sophie?
Where are you going? I'm leaving mother. Sophie!
You have caused enough trouble for once. I want you to stay with me. No, I can't. I have to leave, Mother, because Father said that... He said that there was no place for disobedient creatures in this house.
And you said the other day that... That I was a bad seed. And because nobody loves me. Because I never took anyone... We scold you for doing something wrong only because we love you Sophie.
Only children who are not cared for become bad seats do you know? But now because of your bullfinch... You mean more to me than anything in the world. You hit...
He's singing! He's singing! My little bird! He's adorable!
You'll see mother, I'll take good care of him!
