This week's featured story comes from the Junkyard Tales: All Together Now collection. It's called "Between Friends."

Spiro has a very rough morning: he is stuck by a quill, his food is frozen and he slips on the ice. Zippy also has a bad start - he falls down an icy slope and loses his stash of birch bark. When they finally meet that morning, they take out their frustrations on each other - and it takes the work of all the Junkyard friends to help them resolve what happens.
