01:08 [female narrator] This is the story of two sisters named Kitty and Mimi
01:14 and how they learned about love.
01:16 -Mom! -Hi, Mom!
01:18 [baby crying]
01:21 [door opens]
01:23 Huh?
01:28 -Look, it's a little baby! -She's so cute!
01:36 There, there. Now, I'm right here, sweetie.
01:40 I have your bottle.
01:42 -You didn't have a new baby, did you? -No.
01:48 This is Mr. and Mrs. Scott's little girl.
01:51 They needed some help for a while, so they asked if I'd babysit.
01:55 Her name is Juliana, and she's going to be staying with us for a few days, okay?
02:00 -Oh, yippee! -This is gonna be fun!
02:03 Peek-a-boo, I see you! Do you see me, baby?
02:07 And me?
02:09 [gasps]
02:11 She sure has a lot of energy for being so little.
02:14 Were we this small?
02:17 I suppose everybody is this small when they're little.
02:21 We just don't remember.
02:23 She's demanding, too.
02:25 She probably wants to get out.
02:27 Mm-hmm.
02:29 Oh!
02:31 [grunts]
02:33 Are you okay?
02:35 Are you girls being extra careful out there with little Juliana?
02:41 Yes, Mom. We're just letting her out for a little while.
02:44 She wanted down!
02:46 All right, but just remember she's a sweet, tiny, helpless baby.
02:50 You two can be a bit rough when you play sometimes.
02:54 We'll be nice!
02:56 Oh, yes, isn't that nice?
02:59 A warm bath for you.
03:02 She's washing Juliana.
03:05 We always take our baths at this time, Mimi.
03:08 We have to make room for her, though.
03:10 Having a baby around sure made things different.
03:13 Let's take another good spoonful now.
03:16 [chewing]
03:18 Hmm.
03:19 You're such a good baby, Juliana.
03:21 Oh, yes, you are.
03:23 Do you want a little bit more, sweetie?
03:26 I'll have a little more salad, please.
03:29 Kitty, you're old enough to serve yourself, you know.
03:32 Can't you see I'm busy now?
03:34 Yes.
03:36 [piano music]
03:40 She didn't even come up to read us a good night story.
03:43 She must be really tired.
03:46 Because she spent all day taking care of the little baby.
03:50 Hmm.
03:52 [birds chirping]
03:55 There you go, Juliana.
03:58 You're all set and ready for a brand new day to laugh and play.
04:02 Mom! We're going!
04:04 Fine, don't forget to take your lunch boxes with you.
04:07 I remembered you had a field trip today.
04:10 Bye, Mom. Thank you.
04:12 Bye, girls. Be sure to close the door, okay?
04:15 That day, the girls and their class had drawing lessons in the fields near school.
04:24 It was a beautiful morning, and time went by very quickly.
04:29 Time to eat now, everybody.
04:32 Let's take a break and have lunch.
04:34 Okay!
04:36 Did everybody remember to bring their lunch boxes today?
04:40 Yes!
04:42 I'm looking forward to seeing--
04:44 Me too! I'm hungry!
04:46 Hey! What did your mom put in your lunch box today?
04:50 I don't know yet.
04:52 If your mom's cookies are in there, you better save some for us.
04:55 Hers are the greatest.
04:57 That's right!
04:59 Hi, you guys. I wanted to see if you want to eat together.
05:03 I have my favorites.
05:05 We could probably trade some stuff if you guys want.
05:08 I know your mom always packs you a really fancy lunch whenever we have field trips.
05:13 What did she make you?
05:15 I'm not sure, but I'll bet it's beautiful and yummy.
05:19 With a big sandwich and a nice dessert.
05:24 Yeah, a triple decker.
05:28 Come on, let's take a look already.
05:30 Okay, get ready to have a feast, everyone.
05:33 Ta-da!
05:35 Huh?
05:37 This can't be! This just can't be!
05:42 What's in your box?
05:44 I have the exact same thing!
05:47 You've got some bread?
05:49 And a chunk of cheese?
05:51 And a bottle of soda pop?
05:53 What kind of lunch is that?
05:56 You don't mind if I find someone else to trade with, right?
06:01 I'll see you later, okay?
06:03 Yeah, cheese isn't really for me.
06:05 Sorry, but I want some cookies.
06:08 She's never packed a lunch like this.
06:13 Not before baby Juliana came along, at least.
06:16 It's almost like she was too busy with her to care about us.
06:21 Oh, well.
06:26 [music]
06:35 [baby laughing]
06:37 Oh dear, babies just smell so good.
06:40 [laughing]
06:42 Mommy?
06:44 Hello, kitty. Why aren't you in bed yet, dear?
06:48 I couldn't fall asleep. Will you read to me?
06:51 Not tonight, I'm afraid. The baby needs to go to bed now, too.
06:55 You can read to yourself.
06:57 Yes, but that's not the same thing at all.
07:00 Kitty, babies need a lot of attention, even more than you.
07:03 Go to sleep. I'll try to read you one tomorrow.
07:06 Now we're going to get you ready for bed, Juliana.
07:10 Huh?
07:12 [music]
07:24 Ever since the baby came, everything is different.
07:28 Mom doesn't have time for us at all anymore.
07:31 Maybe she doesn't love me anymore.
07:34 It's going to be a gorgeous day.
07:43 Oh, hello. Good morning, Juliana.
07:50 [baby crying]
07:54 Oh, don't cry now, Juliana. Cheer up.
07:58 I thought she was awake already.
08:01 Babies have to get lots of sleep, kitty. You know better than that.
08:05 Otherwise, they're cranky.
08:07 I'm sorry.
08:09 Don't worry about it. She'll go back to sleep right away.
08:12 But you should go and get ready for school so you don't disturb her again, kitty.
08:17 Sorry about the rude awakening, sweetie pie.
08:21 She must not be completely awake yet.
08:24 You better hurry up and get ready. It's time for school.
08:29 I know.
08:31 You're coming to school today, aren't you?
08:34 I guess so.
08:36 Is something wrong?
08:38 Mom won't pay any attention to us like she doesn't want us around.
08:42 Well, I have to go.
08:45 I'm sure things will calm down soon when the Scots come back.
08:49 But she did get our umbrellas for us in case it rains.
08:52 Don't forget yours.
08:55 Kitty made it to school on time, but she might as well have stayed at home.
09:02 Let's multiply 33 times 2 now, okay?
09:06 Who knows this one? Kitty, how about you?
09:09 [clears throat] Earth to Kitty.
09:12 I didn't mean to. I thought she was awake.
09:16 Hmm.
09:18 [gasps]
09:20 [chatter]
09:23 [bells ringing]
09:26 [chatter]
09:31 Are you ready?
09:33 It's my turn to help clean up the class, remember?
09:35 All right. I'll see you at home then.
09:38 Okay, bye.
09:41 [grunts]
09:43 We're all finished. Now we can go outside and play for a little bit.
09:48 I don't think so. It's pouring rain.
09:51 [gasps]
09:52 And my umbrella is hanging in the closet at home.
09:55 Mine too.
09:56 Mine three.
09:58 Mimi sure was glad to have her umbrella.
10:01 Everyone else was just glad to be indoors with this weather.
10:05 Hi, Mom. I'm back.
10:08 Hi, Mimi.
10:10 Where's your sister? She didn't come home with you?
10:12 No. She's cleaning the class today. Is she sleeping?
10:16 Yes. The rain made her fall asleep.
10:19 Good thing I had my umbrella. I would have been soaked.
10:22 Kitty remembered to take her umbrella too, didn't she?
10:26 I think she did. I reminded her this morning.
10:30 Hmm. Good. I won't worry then.
10:33 [water running]
10:36 See you tomorrow.
10:38 Bye, Thomas.
10:40 It's raining hard.
10:44 [gasps]
10:48 Someone's coming.
10:50 Oh.
10:51 That's my mom. Hooray!
10:53 Hi, Mom.
10:55 Hi, Tracy.
10:58 I think this rain is going to last for quite a while.
11:02 Bye, guys. See you tomorrow.
11:04 Bye, Tracy.
11:06 I hope my mom comes soon.
11:09 Oh, me too. But I'm not sure she will.
11:11 She's really busy these days.
11:13 She might have forgotten about me.
11:15 Not on purpose.
11:17 But she doesn't pay as much attention to me as she used to.
11:20 [gasps]
11:21 My little brother just turned two, and he's walking and getting into everything.
11:26 We have a little baby at our house too.
11:29 My mom is babysitting her for the Scott family.
11:32 That must be neat.
11:34 Huh?
11:35 Yoo-hoo!
11:37 Hi, Fifi. Sorry I'm so late.
11:39 Hi, Mom!
11:40 Here. Hello, Kitty. How are you?
11:44 Oh, I'm just fine, thank you.
11:46 Your mom must be very busy these days. I haven't seen her.
11:50 Real busy.
11:51 They have a little baby staying over at their house right now, Mom.
11:55 Kitty's mom is babysitting for the Scots.
11:58 That's a lot of work.
12:00 It is?
12:01 Oh, yes. Babies need a lot of attention.
12:04 Kitty's mom might not be able to come if there's no one to watch the baby.
12:08 I never thought about that.
12:10 Oh, Kitty, you want to come with us?
12:13 No, thanks. My mom should be coming soon. I'll just wait right here.
12:17 All right. See you tomorrow, then.
12:19 Okay, bye.
12:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:24 Kitty waited and waited at school all alone.
12:35 And pretty soon she realized her mom wasn't going to show up after all.
12:44 She didn't come. She didn't come.
12:48 She just left me here with all this rain.
12:51 She doesn't love me.
12:53 I won't go home, then. She doesn't want me anymore.
13:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:14 [DOORBELL RINGING]
13:17 Hmm. It's four o'clock already.
13:21 Kitty should definitely have been home now.
13:24 You're sure she didn't forget her umbrella?
13:27 Well, I'll go see.
13:30 She did forget it!
13:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:42 [GIGGLING]
13:47 Lucky people, they get to go away.
13:59 That gives me a great idea where to go.
14:02 I'm going to take the train to Grandma's house.
14:05 I should have enough money with me.
14:08 There's a train leaving right away, too.
14:11 I like taking this big train, Mommy.
14:22 That's good. It's not too fast for you.
14:24 No, I like it as it is.
14:26 I remember the first time I took the train.
14:35 Mom, Dad, someone's out there in the field.
14:38 He's funny looking.
14:40 Oh, whoops. It's a scarecrow.
14:42 You'll be seeing lots of those out here.
14:45 Yes, you're going to love being in the countryside.
14:48 Here, I brought some snacks.
14:51 Whoa! My favorite!
14:54 Yum. Thank you, Mommy.
15:00 He's so lucky.
15:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
15:07 It was still raining when Kitty got to the train station,
15:13 so she ran all the way to her grandparents' house in the village.
15:18 She felt a little nervous about showing up out of the blue.
15:31 [BELL RINGING]
15:34 Kitty, what are you doing here?
15:37 What a nice surprise.
15:39 Now come in and get out of this rain.
15:41 You're soaked.
15:43 You stay here by the fire and warm up.
15:49 You'll feel better.
15:50 Okay.
15:52 Are you okay?
15:54 Yes.
15:55 My poor Kitty. You're still shivering.
15:58 Tell me what happened to make you come out here by yourself.
16:02 Mommy doesn't love me anymore.
16:04 Oh, no.
16:06 Let's make a phone call.
16:13 Yes? Yes, she just got there?
16:17 You're sure she's okay?
16:19 Thanks for calling right away.
16:22 Was that Grandma?
16:26 Yes, Kitty took the train and showed up at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
16:31 At least now we know she's all right.
16:34 Wow, she's brave.
16:36 Back at her grandparents' house, Kitty was all warmed up.
16:40 Now, why don't you tell me what's wrong?
16:45 All of Mom's time goes to the baby.
16:49 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
16:52 You mean the one she's taking care of?
16:56 You know, babies are a very big responsibility.
17:00 And your mom hasn't been around one in a while.
17:03 So?
17:05 So she probably got in a little bit over her head this time.
17:11 Three children in the house are a lot of work and time.
17:14 I could hardly keep myself organized, and I just had your mother to worry about.
17:23 It's my fault.
17:25 No, dear. We didn't know Kitty was feeling like this before.
17:28 But still.
17:30 I could have paid more attention, too.
17:32 I guess we just became so involved with Juliana, we ignored them.
17:36 The girls still need to get attention and affection from us.
17:39 Yes.
17:41 My mother told me Kitty thinks that I really don't love her anymore.
17:45 That's the most heart-wrenching thing I have ever heard.
17:49 Don't fret. She'll realize there's no way we'll stop loving our kids.
17:54 And your folks will talk to her.
17:56 Who's this cute baby?
18:01 That's you, Kitty.
18:03 Really? I was tiny.
18:05 You both were so tiny, but you were the cutest babies in the whole place.
18:09 At least I think so.
18:11 Thanks, Grandma.
18:13 It's funny, but your parents were able to tell you apart right away.
18:16 And they were so pleased.
18:19 [sighs]
18:21 That's you and your sister. Do you know which one is you?
18:25 No, even I can't tell us apart.
18:28 The one on the right is your sister, and you're the one on the left.
18:31 Neat!
18:33 And your mom has always told me that of all the great things she's done,
18:37 having you tops them all.
18:39 Oh.
18:42 [music]
18:45 [music]
19:12 I know I put that album away in here somewhere.
19:16 What's that?
19:18 [laughs] This album is full of pictures of your mom and dad's younger days.
19:22 Huh?
19:24 How funny! They look like they're so young.
19:27 Actually, this isn't all that old. It's just before they were married.
19:30 Huh?
19:31 Your father was so shy for the longest time.
19:34 It's a miracle that he ever found the courage to ask her for a date.
19:38 A date? They dated?
19:41 Sure! Actually, your mom was one of the most sought-after young ladies in the village back in those times, Kitty.
19:47 She was a concert pianist, and she gave performances at the art center.
19:52 She's very gifted, and she's so beautiful, too.
19:55 People always noticed her.
19:57 Your father told us after he knew us better that he went to see her play several times,
20:02 but he could never bring himself to even go speak to her at all.
20:06 How did they ever meet, then?
20:08 Ah, that's one of those beautiful love stories that has a happy ever after. Fate smiled upon those two.
20:15 That's right. Those two are a perfect match.
20:17 But if it weren't for a little bit of luck and foul weather, it would never have happened.
20:21 They would be strangers.
20:23 Strangers? Then that means Mimi and I wouldn't have been born!
20:27 Mm-hmm. That's right, dear.
20:29 Oh! You know, Dad says you were hard on him at the beginning.
20:34 Well, you could say that, but I had to test him, his character.
20:39 Let me tell you how they met.
20:41 One day, your father went to hear your mother play.
20:45 Oh, it's pouring rain. Why didn't I think to bring my umbrella along?
20:50 And it doesn't look as if it's going to let up.
20:53 I'll just wait for it to stop and think of that wonderful music.
21:01 Huh? It's raining.
21:03 Huh?
21:05 I'm not sure if I'll still be able to catch a cab home.
21:10 It's her. I don't believe it.
21:13 Taxi!
21:15 This might be tougher than I thought.
21:18 Taxi!
21:21 Daddy, do something! She'll take a cab and then she'll be gone!
21:26 I know! Someone needs to give them an umbrella!
21:30 Why does this always happen when I'm wearing a new dress?
21:34 Every time.
21:36 Taxi, stop!
21:38 Oh, I'm going to be late, too.
21:41 Oh, she just hates to be late. Do something!
21:44 He can't think of a way to go talk to Mommy, but if he had an umbrella, he could offer it to her.
21:51 Huh? Oh, what's this?
21:53 What could I possibly talk to her about?
22:00 Huh?
22:02 I sent it over, Daddy!
22:05 Hurry, go and talk to her before she gets a ride!
22:10 Daddy, go ahead! It's your big chance! You'll meet the girl of your dreams today!
22:17 I'll just give him the little push he needs.
22:22 Hi-ya!
22:25 Oh!
22:27 Uh...
22:29 Uh...
22:31 Uh...
22:33 Hello there! Would you care to use my umbrella? Then you can walk home.
22:37 But won't you be needing it?
22:39 Oh, no! I have plenty of other good umbrellas just sitting at home.
22:42 That's not it, Dad! You're supposed to ask her if she would like to share your umbrella with you!
22:47 You can keep it if you like it!
22:49 Thank you!
22:50 It's my pleasure.
22:52 You're very kind, thank you. It's very gentlemanly.
22:55 Oh, you're very welcome.
22:57 Oh, no!
22:58 But it really wouldn't be right to accept it.
23:01 Oh, because your boyfriend might be jealous?
23:03 No, I don't have one. I meant because you would have to walk in the rain.
23:07 Oh, well, I wouldn't mind. It's only a little water.
23:10 Thank you. I won't keep it, though.
23:13 If you come to the concert next Saturday, we can meet again and I'll return it. Deal?
23:18 Deal!
23:20 I'll be looking forward to it.
23:22 Me too! Me too! I think you play the most wonderful music!
23:27 From then on, it was pure magic.
23:32 So I'll see you next Saturday, then.
23:35 Yes, Saturday.
23:37 Thank you for everything, Grandma and Grandpa.
23:40 It was good to see you.
23:42 Next time, you should bring the rest of the family.
23:44 I will! Promise! Bye!
23:47 She's sweet.
23:49 For me, I'm sure.
23:52 Kitty!
23:55 Huh?
23:56 We're right here and we have your umbrella, too!
23:59 You're here! You walked in the rain!
24:01 What's the little water?
24:03 We missed you!
24:05 Oh!
24:06 I missed you, too.
24:12 Me, too. I am really sorry that I worried you so much.
24:17 We're just glad that you're all right.
24:19 Juliana's parents came and picked her up, but they said we could visit her.
24:23 Really? That's neat!
24:25 Were her parents happy to see her?
24:28 What do you think, Kitty?
24:30 I'll bet they were super happy, like me!
24:34 It's good to know you're feeling better now, Kitty.
24:37 Yes, much better.
24:39 And Grandpa told me lots of things. Stories about you.
24:43 Huh?
24:45 You'll be soaking wet now.
24:47 Oh, what's a little water, right, Daddy?
24:49 After all, if it weren't for rain, I wouldn't be here!
24:52 I love the rain, rain loves me.
24:56 I love the rain and the rain loves me.
24:58 What song is that, dear?
25:00 It's the song I made up the same day that I talked to you for the first time!
25:04 And Mommy loves me.
