Badger, Fox and others in “The Wood in Danger”

Isn't an assembly a bit drastic?

[walks up to a small ridge near the trickle] If this isn't drastic...

Hmm, exactly.

Then what is?

But a Farthing Wood assembly, Fox? Why we haven't had one of those in years. They're only ever called if there's an.... er...

Emergency?

And I call this an emergency.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Not to put too fine a point on it, without water, we animals of Farthing Wood are hardly likely to survive.

Hmm, here, here.

I mean, if you wouldn't call that an emergency, what would you call it? Alice? Ahahaha!

[unimpressed] Very funny.

Erm, but if you don't mind my asking, what'll having some assembly achieve?

What can we mere animals do?

I'm not sure yet. But I reckon that if you and me and Badger and Weasel can get every single member of our woodland community together fast, then maybe one of us might come up with...

A solution?

[clapping] Clever clogs, clever clogs!
