Oscar the troll sees five children playing in the woods. When one gets left behind and gets trapped in a mud pit, Oscar tries to alert the other children. Then seeing the boy deeply distressed, he decides to help him, but realizes he can’t do it alone. When the other children arrive, it takes all of them working together to save the day.

This story teaches children to be aware and considerate of others. It also demonstrates working together to solve a problem while affirming that different skills and temperaments each have a role and purpose.
