One day Bertha comes upon a tumbledown house on a hill. She sets to work with her hammer and nails to make the house a cosy home. Bertha names it 'Come by Chance' and settles in alone until one night a storm brings a host of animals to her door, looking for shelter, and bringing friendship and song and dance, to make merry the long winter ahead.
