When the animals learned that Kikko’s pie had been ruined, they all contributed a piece of their own pie from the party. The animals thought she was very brave, and Kikko began to feel braver herself. She told then her name and why she was in the forest. ‘You’re just in time.’” After the animals seated themselves around a long table, a doe stood, thanked everyone for coming, and asked Kikko to introduce herself. “‘We’re about to serve the tea,’ said the rabbit. The animals cheered and welcomed Kikko enthusiastically. When Kikko saw all of the animals gathered there, she couldn’t believe it. Taking Kikko’s hand, the lamb led her into the house.
