How about this, a squirrel looses his nuts, and he thinks he won't make it through the winter.
ONLY!
The catch is, he doesn't make it through the winter, and his death sends shock waves through the forest community. Bonny the Bat starts drinking heavily, and Sam the Snake takes advantage of the situation, buying up all the property before being shot down by Danny the Duck.
There can be an extended piece where, overcome with despair, Chirpy the Chipmunk throws herself off the top of her tree, only to discover she’s actually too light to reach terminal velocity and just gets banged up. She can dance with death, until Bert Bunny comes over and slaps some sense into her before admitting he loves her, just as Willie the Wolf descends on them both and rips them limb from limb.
The Death of Squirrel Nutkins! A 12 volume epic tale of struggle, failure, and the inevitable pall of death's presence.
You know? For kids!
