...We are then introduced to Pond Goose who is always mucky. The other geese are ashamed of him but soon realise that the fox never sees Pond Goose at night because he is always so dirty and dark, whilst their white feathers show up in the moonlight.
All the geese decide to get muddy too and they are very happy until one day Pond Goose realises how cold it's getting and goes off to find a clean pond to wash all the dirt off. Just as he is finished ... ...fox appears again. Luckily Pond Goose is on hand and saves the day and at last he feels accepted by the other geese as they thank him.

Pond Goose is an outsider on the farm, and the other geese laugh at his muddy feathers. Until one moonlit night a fox comes and chases them all down the hill - all, that is, except Pond Goose, whose muddy feathers mean he can't be seen. This is a visually dramatic and humorous story, with a neat surprise ending.
