"You're late for supper, his father said. 
"Where have you been?" 
"Late?" said Oscar. 
"I almost was supper--a fox's supper." 
"Next time," said his father, 
"will we try to be not quite so smart?" 
"What next time?" replied Oscar. 
"I am happy right where I am." 

With the aid of a friendly beaver, a daring little otter saves himself from being eaten by a hungry fox and learns the wisdom of listening to his father’s advice.
