Lucy arrives feeling rather sorry for herself. She has broken off a friendship with her best friend, Trudy. The animals ask why. Lucy explains that Trudy is stupid and clumsy and broke her favourite pencil-sharpener. Boris the Bear remembers someone else who was clumsy... Melanie the Moose. One day Melanie saw some elks frolicking about in a clearing. She marvelled at the finesse and majesty of their movements, and decided to try a bit of frolicking herself. She jumped about in an ungainly manner, leaping ever higher into the trees. Then she accidentally banged into Boris Bear's special bee-hive. It fell on her head and bees swarmed out all around her. Panicked, she stampeded across Randolph's mushroom plantation then tumbled down the river bank and landed with a crash in Beverly Beaver's recently finished dam. Oh dear.
