Hi-yah, taking offense, intends to boycott Oswald's proposed change of venue for his birthday party. Hi-yah praises his own hunting skill after he lifts Grizzly's seemingly abandoned bearskin coat of fur and recovers his own canoe filled with Toby and Oswald's catch of fish, but after he makes off with Mrs. Possum's birthday cakes he is found out with his swag and mends his ways, like a naughty child yielding to his peers' morally authorotative implied threat of force by aggrieved Grizzly.
