Excerpt: ... lake and was thrown from hillside to hillside, again and again. It seemed to Shaggycoat that his quiet lake had suddenly become the abode of thunder and lightning. He waited to see no more but fled to the burrow, where he found Brighteyes and the young beavers trembling with fright. The same evening, an hour or two later, Shaggycoat heard an ominous whack, whack, whack upon his dam.
