Once upon a time the animals decided they must do something decisive to

> The rabbit started at the top of her class in running, but finally had a

> The squirrel was excellent at climbing until he developed a psychological

> became muscle-bound – and received a C in climbing and a D in running.

> The eagle was the school’s worst discipline problem; in climbing class, she
> beat all of the others to the top of the tree used for examination purposes
> in this subject, but she insisted on using her own method of getting there.

> The gophers, of course, stayed out of school and fought the tax levied for
> education because digging was not included in the curriculum. They
> apprenticed their children to the badger and later joined the groundhogs and
> eventually started a private school offering alternative education.
