"A friend is for playing," burly Jefferson Bear tells the curious
fox, Figgy Twosocks, when she asks him the titular question. So they
play hide-and-seek, and Figgy makes it easy for her buddy to find her
when it becomes apparent that her nimbler, smaller physique has a clear
advantage. Learning that ""A friend is for sharing,"" the fox then drags
a large branch from a blackberry bush to the bear's side and feeds him
berries. Their felicitous rapport hits a snag, but a reconciliation
comes with mutual apologies and a reaffirmation of their friendship for,
in JB's closing words, "A friend is forever."
