For weeks the rain has been pouring down, drumming off the trees and running past Sammy's house and down into the valley, into the creeks, and the river nearby. The creek was running so high and so fast that some of the creatures in the forest were caught off guard and found themselves stranded with no one there to help. Sammy and his family were also affected and couldn't even go for a walk as the flooding rain ran swiftly over the land. Everyone was caught unawares and it was time for Sammy and ferret to help those who were unable to escape the floods.
