The Gassy Lass- a Children's story
Snuff is a lonely Scottish skunk living in a stump. Under the pretense of friendship, the Gassy Lass tricks Snuff into leasing his land for oil. With his home ruined, Snuff teaches the Lass how to be compassionate towards the environment and towards the creatures living within it. Together with some new animal friends, they show the world how to live in harmony with the natural environment.
