He loved to paint with colors as bright as his wildcat friend's fur.

But one day, Seymour's binder full of paintings fell into the river.

He cried out, 'Oh no! My paintings are in the river!'

A kind gardener, who was working by the river, heard Seymour's cries.

He quickly jumped into his tractor and drove to help Seymour.

With a long rod, the gardener fished out Seymour's binder from the river.

Seymour thanked the gardener, 'You are my hero, my savior!'

The gardener, with a warm smile, said, 'Always happy to help, Seymour.'

From that day, Seymour always painted with the gardener by his side.

And his paintings? Well, they were the best in the whole river.

And Seymour, the otter, continued to be the happiest painter.
