Plot[]
It's late October and Brother and Sister are told to go outside and get some fresh air on a crisp fall day. (Autumn.) Later the sun comes out from the clouds and the temperature feels like a nice summer day, but humid since the weather is nice, the cubs take off their jackets and scarfs. Brother and Sister think they should play baseball and soccer, then, Papa Bear comes out and says they should go to the lake (swimming hole) for a family swim. Later on they cubs wish the weather could stay like this, Mama and Papa are also amazed at the warm weather as well. Papa notices something rather unusual, the leaves on a crabapple tree haven't turned yet and it's muggy and toasty night. Papa exclaims a prediction that: "The weather tomorrow is going to be exactly the same as it is today!" Brother, Sister and Mama are excited but what they don't know is that Papa's prediction was wrong.
The next day Sister wakes Brother up very early and says that he wouldn't want to be sleeping while he could be swimming. Brother races out the door with his swimming trunks on and races out the door in shock that the weather changed! It's considerably cooler, and leaves are falling from the trees. Brother and Sister come back inside and tell Papa what happened. Mama tells them they should go and enjoy what today will be like. The cubs get dressed for the weather and go back outside but they are bored. Later the two try to catch leaves and Papa and Mama make a leaf pile for the two to jump in. That night Papa, Mama and the cubs talk about what they did including flying their kites and Brother says Mama was right, rather than staying inside and fussing about the weather they could enjoy what the new day brings them. Papa says another thing rather unusual, the sparrows are flying close to the trees and makes the same exclamation: "The weather tomorrow is going to be exactly the same as it is today!" They decide they should go on a fall hay ride since it is the perfect time of year.
The next day Sister wakes Brother up and reminds him that they're going on a family hay ride, Brother got dressed and went back to bed to surprise Sister. Afterwards, they were fooled once again! It's much colder than yesterday, and the leaves have turned into snow! While Brother is disappointed they can't jump in the leaf pile again or go on the hay ride today, Sister reminds Brother they should go out and enjoy today's weather. They go put on some snow gear and decide to stay outside and make snow angels, next they talk to Lizzy Bruin who says that she's making a snow bear. (Snowman.) The cubs later help her with it and have fun in the snow. The two come inside for some coca and mentions that Bonnie and Aidan came over and built a huge snowfort. Papa notices another thing rather unusual: the snow is falling straight down and says the same thing "Tomorrows weather will be just like today's! Brother and Sister ask if they can go cross-country skiing Mama is excited about that.
The next and last day, Brother and Sister are excited that they are going cross-country skiing and Mama gets skis from the cellar ready but Papa comes in and says that they can't go skiing because it's raining and has melted almost all of the snow. Brother asks Papa: "Aren't the sparrows flying close to the unturned leaves or something?" Papa apologizes to the whole family and Mama was a bit disappointed that they didn't get to go skiing and that they haven't been skiing in ages and asks: "Why couldn't the snow stay for one more day instead of this miserable horrible rain?" Brother and the rest of the family remind her about what she said two days ago. Mama agrees with her quote and Papa says they should do something on their rainy day. Brother says they could play a board game (Bearopoly) (parody of Monopoly) and Mama says they could make gingerbread cookies. Brother's is a summer bear. Sister's is a fall (autumn) bear. Papa's is a winter bear. And Mama's is a spring bear. Mama and Papa say that they were glad that they weren't fussing and saying that they wish it was yesterday and that they enjoyed all that the day had to offer. Papa says another thing unusual: "Watching the way those rain drops are falling the old weatheroligist can tell you one thing for certain!" The family thinks it's another one of Papa's lies and Papa simply says: "Whatever kind of weather we have tomorrow, I know we're gonna enjoy it!" The family laughs but agree with him The sun comes out of the rain clouds, humid and muggy and the episode ends.

Trivia[]
- There is no such thing as a weatheroligist, what Papa meant to say was meteorologist.
- Papa thinking that the weather is going to be the same as the previous day may actually mean that Papa may not know a lot about weather. Some people may even call Papa a "Know-it-All" for saying these things, although no one can actually predict weather perfectly.
- While there can be times for the weather to be completely different from the previous day, it is incredibly rare to go from being warm, muggy, toasty, humid, to being breezy, cool, cold, to being snowy.
