Henry falls in love with his fireplace. “You can always see a face in the fire”

Henry gathers food for the winter & builds his chimney out of second hand bricks. Recycling & eating wild apples before it was trendy!

Henry writes a mini-play! Plus the history of the War of the Red Ants vs the Black Ants & his “loony” antics with a bird neighbor.
