On a bitterly cold Christmas Eve, a group of wild animals look in vain for something to eat. As they huddle hungrily together, Owl tells them about the magic of Christmas, with its promise of peace and love to all human kind. At first the animals can’t believe what Owl is saying – they have not had good experiences of humans. But then they see the proof of the good news – shining above them, now and forever.
