Catbaloo shares a story from Old Mrs. Moody's life before they became neighbors.

When walnut season arrives and ten tall trees begin dropping their nuts, Old Mrs. Moody calls her chickens to gather them. The hens are delighted and immediately begin imagining all the walnut treats they might make.

But the walnuts are needed elsewhere, too. The squirrels who live nearby are busy gathering food for the winter, and before long, a noisy and comical battle over the walnuts begins.

With Old Mrs. Moody stepping in, the chaos settles, and there turn out to be walnuts enough for everyone.
