It's bitingly cold but Little Grey Rabbit, Hare and Squirrel wrap themselves up in warm clothes and make their way to the frozen pond. There they join the many animals having fun on the ice. But when they return home, looking forward to a wonderful supper, they find to their horror that someone has stolen all their food!
