and Tyler wounds. It was at that time as Tyler cried into my little handkerchief that a knock

came at my door. When I opened it, I was smiled at by a face I loved dearly, Benny badger.

“Hello Miss, is Tyler here? I couldn’t find him at his home.”

“Yes… Tyler! Benny wants to see you out here.” I called into the house for him and he
slowly made his way out to us with his head lowed and sniffling softly.

“Hello Benny, I’m too upset to talk to you today. I think I’ll just be going home now…

sorry.”
“Wait a moment Tyler, I have something to show you.” Benny then pulled a silky sheet off

his wheelbarrow to reveal many large jars of strawberry jam.

“Ohhhh,” Tyler said surprised as a small sweet smile spread across his little face.
“I learned how to make it for you Tyler, because I know how much you love jam.”

“Oh thank you Benny, thank you.” He climbed into the wheelbarrow and studied them all

closely.

“Well Benny, you sure cheered him up.”

“Yes, I thought it would make him happy, Miss.”
Later we all sat down and enjoyed some jam on toast and tea, as we talked over the strange

evening. It took Tyler quite some time to get over the loss of his tail but Benny’s jam sure

helped him along the way.
