Foxy (t)

Heinz the German Brown is what some would call a lunker. He has out-foxed the fishermen for years. You wouldn't even know he was in the lake except that once or twice a week a huge shadow passes and then a fisherman disappears.

The Fall (p)

Drip was ecstatic! Today he got to explore the cliff he'd heard about all his life. It didn't dawn on him that once at the bottom, it was highly unlikely he would ever see his home again.

Mountain Curse (t)

Rocks don't like to share. They like to keep available soil to themselves. So, when bushes and trees find a foothold, rocks get really cranky. If you listen carefully, you can hear rocks cursing plants; and you thought it was just the wind blowing through the trees!

Educated (t)

Baxter the Beaver is the only one in the Busy family to graduate from college. He became a structural engineer, dammed the family pond and started a white water rafting business.

Pan For Color (t)

Slim heard rumors of all the gold in these mountains. He spent 25 years barely able to eke out enough color to feed himself before he realized the gold was right in front of him. Unfortunately, leaves don't buy food!
