Storyline

Woody Woodpecker, now old and gray, tries to peck a large tree but finds he just can't do it anymore; his beak folds up on him. He dreams of his wild-youth days when he pecked, with ease, every piece of wood in sight. Sadd and discouraged, he decides to commit suicide, but falls into the Fountain of Youth, instead of a grave. Rejuvenated he returns to the forest. Oops, wrong forest. This cartoon carries a PCA number and was approved by the National Board of Review. Written by Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
