Tons of trouble plague the long-eared prankster after he decides it’d be great fun to see the barrel — with Jimmy inside — roll down from its resting point high on a hill. Reddy Fox gets the blame for Jimmy’s wild ride (as well as a dose of the skunk’s “perfume”); Peter gets his comeuppance for playing nasty tricks; and before the day is out, Jimmy Skunk and Unc’ Billy Possum go egg-hunting and wind up in a pretty pickle in Farmer Brown’s henhouse.

February 22nd – (Be Humble Day)
Have you ever given up an argument, even when you thought you were right, for the sake of not fighting? Have you ever helped someone and not taken credit for it? Do you show respect to people simply because they are older (even if you believe they aren’t necessarily wiser)? These are acts of humility. How hard is it to be humble? Why is it important to be humble? Write about a time that you were humble.February 26th – (“Oh for Pete’s Sake” Day)

Other examples include, “For crying out loud!” and “Sugar!”. Such euphemisms have been used for centuries whenever people hit thumbs with hammers, burn hands on hot plates or sit on sharp things while in polite company. Why has Pete been singled out for special attention? Create a story to explain why Pet was singled out!How to implement it:
