Just outside the village of Springly lies Farmer JenksÕ farm, and in his field stands a scarecrow by the name of Tuffy. Along with straw and rags, the stuffing from an old teddy bear had been used to make the scarecrow. TuffyÕs eyes had once been the teddy bearÕs big glassy eyes, so Tuffy had been named after the teddy bear and left in the field to scare the birds away from Farmer Jenk's cornfield. Sadly, with those teddy bear eyes, Tuffy wasn't scary at all, which caused problems for Tuffy.
