Hoppie is on a lengthy journey home to see his family, but he can't quite recall which pond they're at, so he's always traveling. Occasionally, he grows weary and must find a resting spot—not just any place, but one that's safe and secure from predators. Thus, he carries a fortress with him. The road is a lonely one, and he enjoys the company of friendly visitors. If you encounter him, he'll leap for joy and invite you to sign his visitor log, a record for his family of all the new friends he's made on his hazardous journey home.
