Winter is coming, and the animals are busy building a house to keep them warm and cozy. The hares gather stones from the field. Hedgehog helps Wild Boar get wood from the forest. Deer lays the stone wall and Fox mixes the concrete. They work hard but happily until Badger, an expert house builder, joins them. Nothing suits bossy Badger, who insists they are doing everything wrong. Disgruntled, they leave him to complete the work on his own. Badger builds a splendid house--but soon discovers that a house is not a home with no one to share it, and that cooperation and compromise are important tools when it comes to building friendships.
