The Winter Wonderland was nothing new to Spunky. He did not give his younger brother any thought. Leaving Jumpy alone, Spunky darted towards the frozen lake where all of his friends met year after year.
Suddenly, Jumpy realized Spunky had disappeared and looked everywhere in panic to find him. When he looked behind himself he saw something that frightened him so much that he bounced right back into his home landing with a loud thump…”
