 * __Summary__**

In the forest, Mouse is really mad! He's stomping, yelling, hopping, and rolling mad! The problem is he's not very good at any of those types of mad. Hare shows him how to hop mad, Bear shows him how to stomp mad, Mt. lion shows him how to yell mad, but he's still not as good at being mad as they are. He has to find a way to be mad that he's good at, as well as to stop falling into puddles!
