[SCRIPT] Downhill From Here

It was a beautiful winter day when Caillou went to the ski-hill with his family.
There wasn't a cloud in the sky.
Well, maybe there was a cloud or two.
Are you ready to go skiing, Caillou?
Caillou was a little afraid because he had never skied before.
Ski! Ski! Ski!
Come on, Rosie! We are going to go have some hot-chocolate.
Now, let's put on your equipment.
Why do I have to wear this?
For the same reason (why) you wear when you're on the bicycle.
It protects your head.

Uh-oh! Wow!
These boots are too heavy, Mommy.
Don't worry. We won't be walking much in these boots. They're for using the skis.
How?
Like that, look at Sarah!
Sarah!
Seeing his friends skiing made Caillou want to try it right away!
Sarah, wait for me!


Rosie ski?
No, but you can watch from in here and be warm and cozy,
and drink hot-chocolate with your daddy.
Wow!

I don't want to go. It's too high!
Caillou was afraid of going up on the tow-lift.
He thought he would fall.
But if you wanna ski down, first we have to go up.
Don't worry. I'll do with you.
See, Caillou, this isn't so bad?

Mommy, it's too high!
Yes, but I'll be hanging onto you with this.

Hi, Caillou!
Mommy, I want to ski like Sarah.
That's called, "snowplough".
First we have to make a pizza slice with your skis.
Like this?
Yes, but you have to bend your knees a little, like this!

That's okay, Caillou! Everyone falls on their first learn to ski.
Come on, try again! You have to put your skis side ways, like this.
Caillou wanted to show Sarah that he could do it all by himself.
I don't want to ski anymore.
But look, you've almost skied all the way down.
Caillou was proud of himself.
He may have fallen a few times but he always got up and tried again.
I'm cold. I'm going in for hot-chocolate.
Me, too.


Rosie can't wait to go skiing when she is a little older.
I wish there was somewhere we can all go down the hill together right now.
I know how we can, Mommy.
