Dori Chaconas

Short-legged Cork is upset when tall Fuzz wins every game they play, until he learns that their friendship is more important than winning.

Determined to retrieve her hat from the sycamore tree where it had been blown by the wind, Virginnie tries to dislodge it by throwing her boots up one after the other, unaware of the threatening swamp creatures behind her.

Although Cork the muskrat is short and likes to find things and Fuzz the possum is tall and likes to keep things, the pair remain best friends even after Fuzz finds Cork's lost stone and decides to keep it.
