Hayden and Friends

The adventure of a small Hyena observing, and then advising, a pig, a goat, and a rabbit, which, after failing independently to achieve their aim, learn how to solve problems and achieve success, by working together. They live in the jungle. The jungle had everything they needed, plenty of leafy branches to eat and keep away the sun and the rain. The jungle was warm and snuggly; it was the perfect place to live. And, best of all, the jungle had delicious things to eat whenever they got hungry. There were nuts and berries and all kind of fruits to eat, but what all the animals loved most were the juicy berries and fruit that grew on the other side of the stream.
