Instead of retaliating by throwing another snowball, however, Lumpy decides to throw a rock at them. Toothy notices it coming towards him, so he puts a spaghetti strainer on his head for protection. The rock bounces off the strainer and flies upwards, hitting Cuddles' telescope and knocking it into his eye.
