Vole was in the process of moving her entire family, in fact, entire clan to her present location where she met Worm, Robin and Crow, and now, Raccoon. They were camped for the evening in the slums of Assisi. There had been a rather severe drought that summer and fall so the animals in that region were in a bad, bad way.
Vole had just secured their meager belongings for the night when she heard a strange melody ringing through the wood. As the sound drew closer all could recognize the voice of a male Hu-man singing happily.
It was loud enough to wake all the critters within a half mile in any direction. And that is exactly what happened. All the critters with in a half mile in all directions woke up and came to see what this new Hu-man joy was all about.
What happened next was the subject of much discussion for the entire animal population within twenty-five miles of Assisi.
