The Animals of Deep Green Wood Are Poisoned!

"The Animals of Deep Green Wood Are Poisoned!" is the May 1967 and fifth story of Ranger Rick and His Friends.
== Plot ==
 and Ollie Otter spotted a plane in Farmer Jones’s field: a plane, billowing smoke into the sky. Before diving into investigation, they first decided to take a break at Shady Pond. However, they discover that Frances Flicker was poisoned and sick. They learned that many animals in Farmer Jones’s field became sick, prompting Ranger Rick to send Frances to Nurse Zelda Possum for care.
Ranger Rick and Ollie made their way to the farm to see the cause. Just as they were about to enter, Wally Wolf appeared, hungrily planning to eat them. Ranger Rick came up with a plan: he pretended to be sick, knowing that wolves prefer weak prey. With Wally distracted, he led the wolf sliding down towards Shady Pond, giving more time for Ranger Rick and Ollie to figure out what was going on.
Once safe, Ranger Rick sought out Ranger Tom, who revealed that the smoke from the plane was actually pesticide, a harmful substance that had affected the animals. Farmer Jones apologized for the incident and promised to take better care of his fields. Frances Flicker, though feeling better, had to go back home far away. Ranger Rick ends the story by reminding the readers to be cautious with pesticides.
