A Quiet Glade
About A Quiet Glade
Three bears looking for a quiet clearing are hit by a football and have to play a team of hares. A mole referee pops out of the ground, and spectators gather. The hedgehog radio commentator arrives for the second half and calls the match to a 3–3 draw. He signs off with, "Until the next match, friends!"
