A Perfect Wonderful Day with Friends

Raccoon is having a boring kind of day. He has tried reading a book and doing exercises, but nothing seems to excite him. He decides to bake a cake, but he has no eggs, so he heads over to Fox’s house. Fox always has eggs since she has chickens. Fox is trying to fix her roof, but she can’t quite reach what needs to be done. Raccoon suggests they go to borrow a ladder from Badger. They have a lovely walk to Badger’s house and find he is having trouble with a crossword puzzle. They decide to go ask Bear about the clue since it has to do with honey, but Bear is not home. Crow says he went fishing. Off they all go to the river to find Bear.
