By Pamela Curtis Swallow

Aujourd'hui, c'est le 3 f?vrier, et M. Marmotte a d?cid? qu'?tre ? l'honneur pendant une seule journ?e n'?tait pas assez. Pour convaincre son auditoire, Corbeau, ?cureuil et un journaliste, il leur r?v?le que les marmottes peuvent d?placer plus de 700 livres de terre et de pierres en une journ?e, qu'elles construisent des tunnels ing?nieux, qu'elles courent, grimpent aux arbres et sont m?me des sujets d'?tudes scientifiques. L'Op?ration Marmotte est lanc?e: le monde se doit de conna?tre la v?rit? sur les marmottes

It is February 3rd and Groundhog has decided that his holiday should last longer than one day. While telling the facts about his species to crow, squirrel, and a hog reporter, he reveals that groundhogs can move about seven hundred pounds of dirt and rocks in one day, and that they are clever builders of burrows, they run, climb trees, and are studied by scientists. Convinced of the creature's talents, the reporter declares, You're the Hog Operation Groundhog will start immediately. The world will know the Hog truth.
