One Saturday, in the middle of June, one bright and windy afternoon,
all the creatures by Piggyback Wood were getting ready - as fast as

Harry and Lil are getting ready, but just as Lil is getting her favorite
hat off the washing line to wear, it blows away. Harry says it's gone
for good, but Lil says you should never say never if birds can fly,
shrews can, too. An umbrella doesn't work, nor does a fan... and then
Deer comes along with a big green balloon
