The Bad Mood!

Badger gets up one morning feeling very grumpy. "Humph!" Badger says to himself. "I'm in a bad mood. Maybe I'd better stay at home." But at breakfast, Badger reconsiders. What is the point of being in a bad mood if nobody notices? he thinks. So Badger heads out, slamming the door behind him. Badger spreads his bad mood far and wide, greeting all his friends with angry, rude remarks, which puts them in bad moods, too. By afternoon, Badger has come up with a fine way to shed his own bad mood, but what can he do to cheer up the other animals? A comical, cautionary tale for anyone who has ever gotten up on the wrong side of the bed.
