The Wind in the Willows
One spring, Mole comes to the conclusion that he can put off the spring cleaning for a little while longer, and he and his new friend Rat embark on a number of exciting adventures. They have a lunch on the riverbank and go on a caravan adventure with Toad until Toad changes his allegiance to his new automobile and starts driving recklessly, which causes Mole and Rat to look for Badger for assistance in restraining Toad's wasteful tendencies. However, Toad is able to evade them and ends up receiving a sentence of twenty years in prison for theft, dangerous driving, and gross impertinence from the magistrate. Badger is severely beaten as he attempts to protect Toad Hall from the schemes of the Weasels while Toad is working his charms on the daughter of the jailer and escaping jail dressed as a washer woman. During this time, Toad is busy working his charms on the jailer's daughter and escaping jail dressed as a washer woman. Toad Hall cannot be retaken without a strategic plan of attack and the participation of all four allies.
