“Dark is nasty,” he says and he won’t go hunting with his parents. Mrs. Barn Owl sends him down from his nest hole to ask others about the dark. Plop meets a little boy waiting for the fireworks to begin, an old lady, a scout out camping, a girl who tells him about Father Christmas, a man with a telescope, and a black cat who takes him exploring.
