Rose the giraffe lives a happy life with her friend Filco.

One day some monkeys tell her she is boring with her brown spots and in a great need for a total makeover. They immediately put flowers on her spots. Rose the giraffe is very proud of her smart new look and feels very special. Then monkeys tell her she did not do anything special and suggest her to climb a tree. Rose feels very good in the tree but some animals get scared of her and others mock her.

In the morning, Rose does not feel very comfortable in the tree anymore and starts moaning. Suddenly, she sees her friends, other giraffes in the morning sun and thinks: »Those are the most beautiful creatures in the whole world, and I am one of them …«

Alex the penguin lives at the zoo. He is happy with his new friends and only thinks of his family, who lives far away, from time to time.

His birthday is coming soon and he finds himself in a more and more low spirits. He does not know that this year his friends from the zoo are giving him a special birthday present.

In the beautiful glade a few trees are growing. A common and careless visitor to the forest might think it is just one of the many ordinary glades. However, this is no ordinary glade.

If you know how to look, from beneath the treetops, eyes will peep out and under them, a mouth will begin to smile, and what was a knot just a moment ago will suddenly turn into a nose.

Trunks will split in two and legs and arms will appear … and in front of you the genuine inhabitants of the Glade have come to life: the Stumps, Pine, Fir, Elm, Birch, Hornbeam and old Father Oak.

A beautiful summer morning calls for a walk. The Stumps head to the Bare Hill from where they will have a beautiful view of the whole forest. Father Oak tells them they would also have a chance to observe the stars. Is he joking? How could they watch the stars in the middle of the day?

The frozen surface of the lake was full of villagers having so much fun singing and dancing on the ice that they did not notice the approaching darkness and the subtle cracking under their feet.

The old lady, who lived alone in her wooden house by the lake, noticed a black whirlwind in the distance – she had never seen anything like it in her life. She was too weak to go to the lake, so she tried to call them. But nobody heard her. They were too far away. Suddenly, a thought came – she would burn her old hut down, this would be better than so many people die in the icy lake.
