PS
A gaggle of geese tease a smart but lonely goose about having dirty feathers. After he explains that they help him blend into the shadows, rendering him invisible to the rampaging fox, the geese proceed to muddy themselves--with unanticipated results. The tale is swiftly told, and the cartoony images somehow manage to make the lonely goose almost unbearably sympathetic.
