In tonight's story, set in the sunny Three Rivers forest, a group of animal friends called the gang can't decide if they should play in the pond or float down the river. Sammy the Squirrel feels a bit sad because his older friends don't listen to his ideas. But then, he talks to Goosey the Crow, who gives him advice about being patient and trying to share his thoughts in a way that others will listen. Sammy also visits Oliver, the wise old owl, who teaches him more about patience and how to be understood. In the end, Sammy feels hopeful about trying again with his friends, using what he's learned about patience and speaking up.
