Summary
Pete the badger liked to keep the forest clean. So when the leaves started to fall in autumn, he bagged the entire forest. Then since the trees look bare, he ripped them out, smoothed the ground, and put cement on top. Soon, however, he realized that the forest doesn’t work very well without all those messy things, so he brings them all back and learns to let things be a little messy.
