In a tale from 1933 by T. W. Burgess, Jerry Muskrat digs a water tunnel system and thick walls to shelter his house from ice and predators. He prioritizes safety with sturdy walls and dry, well-ventilated chambers, while ensuring comfort with a roomy, dry bedroom connected to the underwater cellar. Peter Rabbit mocks the pile, but the hidden chamber proves sturdy and secure for winter.
