Acadia and Ahanu Pika are supposed to meet Dragon today, but Acadia wants to stay in bed. What will she do?

Narrator: Female

Story Begins: 3:32

Showing Up Excerpt:

A few of these boulders were so close together that they made a nice spot for two little pikas to make their home. Tucked safely in the space beneath the rocks, Acadia Pika began to wake up. She yawned and slowly sat up. The little pika scratched her round ears and shook the morning dew from her soft, brown fur.

Acadia peeked outside the rocky entrance of the nook and saw how foggy it was. Grey and misty mornings like this were perfect for staying in bed. Acadia was about to try and return to sleep when she heard a happy chirp from outside.
