It is a beautiful summer day, and Spiro decides to try something he has always wanted to do: taste a junebug grub. He knows that wild skunks who live in the forest and meadow eat grubs all the time, but he, himself, had never tried one. When he finally makes it to the meadow, digs one up and tastes his first grub, however, he sets himself up to learn a valuable lesson about what it is to be wild.
