Willy Wombat often complained to his friend Katie Kangaroo that rabbits were always digging unplanned or badly designed tunnels everywhere, all too often breaking through the walls or ceiling of his well-furnished burrow. Whenever this happened, more than one rabbit would bounce off his head or end up landing in his soft bed before rushing outside, almost certainly to do it all over again. He often entertained his great friends, Bertie Bilby and Eric Echidna, while sharing his burrow with a family of friendly Owls, some of whom really enjoyed staying in burrows instead of living in barns or hollows in trees.
