Jealous of his brother's fame and good fortune, Phineas decided it was time to cash in on some of that pros- perity for himself. Hiring a couple of seedy looking prairie dogs, by the names of Woofer and Tweeters, the evil twin theninvited his unassum- ing brother to a celebration for the upcoming day's ovents. Knowing Phil's fondness for peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches, Phineas spiked the pickles with sleeping pills, which put the genuine ground- hog out like a light.

His plan was discovered, and he and his two nefarious accomplishes were brought back to Punxsutawney, Penn. to be chastised for their sinful conspiracy. True to his redeeming character, Phil forgave Phineas, stating, "he is my brother, after all," and hoped that the public would not look too un- kindly on the groundhog population due to the misdeeds of one,On good lesson for all little groundhogs to follow.
