Roz and Brightbill settle into their first night in their new home. Brightbill explores the lodge, enjoying its warmth and proximity to the forest and pond. Roz tries to put him to bed in his nest, but Brightbill wants to sleep in her arms. Roz cradles Brightbill in her arms all night long.

Crownpoint the buck and his family have heard about Roz and Brightbill, so they do not run away as the robot and gosling approach. Roz introduces herself and Brightbill and asks for Tawny.

Tawny comes forward and Roz explains that Mr. Beaver thought that she might help them grow a garden. Crownpoint nods at Tawny, who agrees on the condition that her family may eat from the garden. Roz nods and leads Tawny to the Nest.

Tawny asks Roz to clear the ground for the garden, then asks her friends, the moles and groundhogs, to dig through the dirt. Tawny goes around and asks all the animals in the area to leave their droppings around the Nest to enrich the soil.
