"New Folks coming, Mother-Father, new Folks coming into Big House!" shouted Little Georgie the Rabbit. All the animals of the Hill were very excited about the news and wondered how thingswould change. Would the new Folks bring dogs, traps, and guns? Or would they be planting Folks who would care for the land and grow rich crops? It had been years since there had been a garden at the House.
