Maple Wafflehoffer was excited spring had arrived. That meant a visit to her aunt and uncle's farm that was located on the other side of Waffleville. After a hearty lunch of waffles, Maple's uncle told her that she could go outside and play but he warned her to stay away from the brown mare and her foal. Maple being a curious young girl took that as a challenge and went in search of the foal, despite her uncle's wishes. In her search, Maple came across several farm animals that were of not much help in her tracking down the foal. It wasn't until she came upon the farmer's sheepdog that she was able to locate them. Upon finding the foal, Maple feared she'd made a frightful mistake and wished she could be transported back to the safety of her family. There are a few more surprises in store -- though the biggest one may lie with Maple herself."
