Raising rats? “Easy-peasy,” Badger says. Two tiny rats, Zeno and Zephyr, have moved into the brownstone. Meanwhile, Badger needs to write a Rock Hound Weekly article. It’s due soon-ish. (Must check calendar!) But nothing goes to plan: Naps are not the answer to everything. Articles refuse to write themselves. And why do the rats not know about sleep-at-night, up-during-day? It seems the most basic of knowledge.

It’ll take a North Twist village to raise these rats.
