"Mole rapped on Bear's
window.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
"Snore," replied Bear."
It must be Mole's first spring because he's not sure that it has yet arrived. He sets about finding out for himself. The air smells sweet, the sun is shining gloriously and there is squishy mud to dip his toes in when he steps outside. It must be spring!
He wants his friend Bear to wake up and enjoy it. No matter what Mole does, Bear just keeps right on snoring. Mole even gets close and tries tickling his nose. It does not rouse his sleepy friend. Wait! He's got another idea.
This one involves egg gathering, cow milking, butter churning, and some mixing. Breakfast in bed finally does the trick! As Bear awakens to enjoy the feast, he calls to Mole to wake up because spring has arrived.
Mole is just too tired to care! Awwww!
