Philo Gubb and the Auto Hen in Bettville tale
Philo Gubb, a tender hearted Bettville resident, cares for an oil-stove hot water bottle treated as an auto hen. He feeds, warms, and drags the bottle, naming the hatchlings as they emerge, until a tragic misjudgment ends the ruse. The episode blends humor with a gentle moral on care and perception.
