Together, they practise and practise until their duet is perfect. But when they audition, Bird is cast in the opera -- and Bear is not. Bear is filled with disappointment, but Bird comforts and reassures him, explaining that even though they won't sing together in the opera, they are still a perfect duet. The night of the opera, Bear is Bird's biggest fan and greatest admirer. And as winter approaches again, and Bear gets ready to go to sleep for the winter, Bird promises to check in on him every single day.
