Plot
[edit]Bear and Chicken live in the forest, farming. One day, Chicken is lured away by Fox, who is pretending to be a Rabbit to play with Chicken. Fox tries to eat Chicken, but Chicken escapes to a nearby tree. Bear, who thinks Chicken was eaten by the Fox, mourns the loss of Chicken with the Bees.
Bear inadvertently sets a trap for Fox, which is successful, and the Bees chase and apprehend the Fox. Then, Bear and the Bees discover that Chicken is still alive. They rejoice together while gardening: the Chicken waters the Flower, the Bear tends to the Flower, and the Bees draw pollen from the Flower, all working together in harmony.
