In a cozy tree, Chomper the chipmunk loved to sleep all day.
He ignored all his friends, who were busy collecting nuts for winter.
Even when Sammy squirrel advised him to prepare, Chomper just yawned.
As leaves fell, Chomper snuggled in his bed, dreaming of spring.
The first snowflakes woke Chomper, and he felt a pang of hunger.
He searched his home, but found only empty shelves and dust.
With a grumbling belly, he went to ask for help from friends.
Generously, they shared their food, teaching Chomper about teamwork and sharing.
Chomper realized his mistake and felt very sorry for his laziness.
The next year, Chomper worked hard, helping others prepare for winter.
Winter came, and everyone had plenty, thanks to Chomper's diligence.
Together, they celebrated in warm burrows, full of laughter and stories.
