There is a place in the forest where Bird, Fox and Bunny always meet and build wonderful things. One day, a strange animal shows up with a suitcase. They have never seen an animal like this before. The three are curious. What does it want? Where did it come from? And, most of all: what is in the suitcase? The strange animal answers them, but the three are distrusting.
