When Charley was still considered a puggle (a baby echidna), his mother told him they were going to the waterhole to meet the other wild animals. Charley's mother knew they might meet a stranger along the way and therefore needed to teach him how to keep safe. This proved more difficult than she first thought.

Find out what happens when Charley meets the two-legged strangers. Does he listen to his mother's advice? And who is the little friend who is always watching over him?
