STORY
Mud Boat Races
It's raining in the Junkyard again. It has been raining for days. It is not only muddy, but now there are streams flowing everywhere, all along the paths. Most of the animals are stuck in their houses, but a few brave mice have a fun idea: mud boat races! It's not long before all the Junkyard friends join in.
