It isn't how fast you get someplace, but what you do along the way: that's the philosophy behind this story about two friends who agree to meet 30 miles away in Fitchburg. In this story inspired by Thoreau's WALDEN, Henry elects to take a very long nature walk, while his friend chooses to work to earn his train fare.
Inspired by the life of Henry David Thoreau, D.B. Johnson tells the story of a frugal bear named Henry who sets about building a small cabin in the woods and ends up with a much bigger home than he and his friends ever imagined.
