the badger realizes it was just a dream, there are no wolverines or lap dog because the badger was really awakened by the artist removing the paintbrush from the stone to begin painting for the morning. little does the artist realize that the badger is in the burrow. once the badger is reassured as to its safety breakfast is under way in the burrow; ambrosia of grain and mushrooms with the added delight of mini marshmallows! the day is going well, but what was that strange sound????? bests, carol xx
