Cork is a muskrat who likes small, safe adventures. Fuzz is a possum who
likes big, exciting adventures. Fuzz convinces Cork to go with him on a
snowy exploration, but Cork is scared of the big animals they might
encounter. When Fuzz pretends he has seen a dangerous animal, he only
makes Cork more scared. Then, like the Boy Who Cried Wolf, Fuzz really
does run into a big animal--a puppy! Both friends discover how brave
they really are, and learn when it is and isn't okay to fool someone you
care about.
