action
A badger tries to hibernate in its burrow under a hill . Two crows sit in the tree on the hill and disturb his sleep with their crow. The badger crawls out of its den and admonishes the crows to calm down, which only lasts for a short time. The badger's attempt to plug its ears with leaves also fails.
Suddenly a transporter arrives at the hill, saws it through and stores three ICBMs in the hill. Since a rocket tip ends directly in the roof of the roof, it covers it with soil and falls into the rocket room when trying to dig a little deeper into the ground. He accidentally activates the missiles that are eventually fired. The last one gets stuck in the roof hill. The badger returns to its den and tries to sleep. The crows are getting loud again. A falling crow's feather finally detonates the last rocket stuck in the hill. There is silence and the badger finally falls asleep. A final shot shows both crows without plumage and crows hesitantly; half of the roof hill is charred.
