The story unfolds on New Year's Day in Jungletown, where King Leo has organized a series of lively winter sports on Monkey Hill, including ski races, snowshoe contests, and tobogganing. Animals from all around gather to celebrate and compete, contributing to a joyous atmosphere. Amid the excitement, a mishap occurs when a young squirrel named Tommy falls from a toboggan during a race and is discovered to be an orphan. Kind-hearted old maid bears take him in, and through their love and care, he finds a new home, highlighting the story's message about family and belonging. Ultimately, the tale closes on a note of gratitude and newfound companionship, stemming from an unexpected accident. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
