Miss Deer is very hungry, but the local squirrels and birds do not want her to eat with them. She is sad and lonely, she doesn t understand their rejection. She does not see why she cannot have some bird seed, which is rich and plentiful at this lady s house. The many birds, squirrels and chipmunks tell her she is too big and scary. She becomes very frustrated and decides to eat the lady s prize roses. She feels, too, a comradeship to the man who lives here, for he is also rejected by the animals. A hungry but friendly raccoon, out in the daytime, stops her and tells her that deer are not mean.
