Arvin the Armadillo wasn't like all the other
armadillos in Hill Forest. Whereas all the other
ones were diligent and hard working, Arvin preferred
to have fun. His every waking thought was, "What
shall I do for fun?". For one thing he derived
the maximum amount of pleasure from watching the
workaholic ants, of course not just watching every
fifteenth ant would go to his stomach!
But eventually summer merges into fall and fall
fades into winter and then comes Arvin's panic.
His habit of procrastinating pays its price when
he finds himself without a winter stash and sudden
panic blinds him into a frenzy of collecting food.
