:12:00
...but she was bright and brave and good,
and I liked her very much.
:12:04
-Her name was Elsa.
-Fair enough.
:12:08
You're wonderful, too, darling.
After all, you're the one that did it.
:12:11
Why, sure.
They said I couldn't do it, but I did it.
:12:16
Formula seventeen. You're a genius.
You really ought to put it on the market.
:12:21
No.
:12:22
You see, it would never work
without one special ingredient. This.
:12:28
I'm not putting that on the market.
:12:34
Even as babies,
each had a different character.
:12:37
The largest one,
we called her the "Big One"...
:12:39
...was vain of her size and strength.
:12:42
The second largest, Lastika,
was the clown of the three.
:12:47
But my favorite, of course,
was the smallest, EIsa.
:12:51
A weakling in size
but the bravest of them all...
:12:54
...she loved to expIore
and investigate and examine.
:12:57
And there were no limits to her curiosity.
:12:59
In the wild, she would have been
the throw-out of the pride...
:13:03
...for the smallest cub in a Iitter
rarely survives.
:13:06
But Elsa had no inferiority complex.
:13:12
AII the cubs were, naturally, housetrained...
:13:15
...and always took great care
to reach the sandboxes outside.
:13:18
But, also naturally, there were
a few accidents in the early days...
:13:22
...and when these happened,
they were most embarrassed.
:13:35
Unfortunately for Pati,
very soon the cubs were too Iarge for her.
