Meet Mouse and Chipmunk, two young rodents who want the same thing—a big, beautiful nut! But who deserves it more? After all, Chipmunk and the Nut read together and lie in the grass and stare at the clouds. Chipmunk wants that nut! And Mouse and the Nut play tic-tac-toe and have a dance party together. Mouse also wants that nut! But then Squirrel comes along and claims the Nut for his own. What’s a rodent to do?

It's a cold winter day, and the frozen pond is crisscrossed by figure skaters, hockey players, new skaters and old, all enjoying gliding across the ice. Zip up your coat and put on your hat it's a day for skating.
