Hazel, Fiver, and their group of bucks come to a beautiful meadow and decide to make a home there. As the bucks start do dig (although it is very unnatural for them), a stranger named Cowslip comes up to them and asks if they want to join his warren. Fiver doesn't want to go because he has a bad feeling about the place, but Hazel takes them anyways, because they have no does in their group, meaning digging would be very hard. Cowslips rabbits make Hazels group feel at home, but the other rabbits have some wierd and unnatural traditions and they won't answer and question with the word "where" in it.
