The Big Wood – New Furniture in the Fall

The Big Wood has been a bustle of activity; the animals are urgently preparing for the winter. Must are storing food or eating heartily, to build up fat supplies for hibernation.

Oh, I must be going; it seems the boys have tied up Bobby to a tree and forgotten about him. Here goes Mother to the rescue.
