First, a mean snake keeps pelting him with mangoes. Then, as Arlo’s digging an underground hide-out to avoid getting hit, he has a run-in with a very bossy rabbit named Jack. But when the snake threatens them both, Arlo and Jack realize that maybe two are better than one and a brand-new friendship is born.
