Farmer Ben scanned the horizon. “Oh, no!” he moaned. “They’re way out yonder in the onion grass! They’ll be putting out onion-flavored milk for a week!”

And that wasn’t the last thing that went wrong that week. The next morning was Saturday, and Ben and the cubs went out to the fields bright and early. It was time to harvest the corn, which Ben would sell to a popcorn company in Big Bear City. But as they took a shortcut across the cow pasture, Ben sniffed the air and held up a hand to stop them. “Do I smell smoke?” he said.

“Look over there!” cried Lizzy. “The cornfield must be on fire!”

Sure enough, an orange glow was visible in the distance. Sooty black smoke rose from it into the dawn sky. Ben and the cubs broke into a run. By the time they reached the cornfield, the fire was almost out.

Ben gazed grimly at his smoking cornfield. All over the charred ground lay thousands of ears of corn. The fire hadn’t destroyed them. It had done a different kind of damage.

“This is terrible!” said Ben. “I can’t sell my corn to the popcorn company if it’s already popped!”

“How did the fire start?” Babs wondered.

As Farmer Ben thought, his expression got grimmer. “Wormy apples, a pasture gate left open, and now this,” he said. “It can’t be a coincidence.”
