The story centers around Barty, a sweet and cheerful boy who desires a sled and wonders about the wonders of the deep forest near his home. One day, he encounters a talking wolf who reveals himself as a "Good Wolf." This magical creature gives Barty gifts and invites him to a splendid "Snow Feast," where he meets various talking animals in a hidden rabbit warren. Throughout the feast, Barty has joyous adventures, makes new friends, and ultimately learns the importance of being a good person. However, the story takes a turn when robbers intrude on their fun, leading to a humorous yet thrilling encounter.
