Equipped with nothing but the determination to find home sets out on a perilous journey to the unknown seek a better life elsewhere. All-of-you the flying tortoise loses his wings and comes tumbling down the sky much to the delight of the angry birds whose kindness he had abused.

He is eventually banished out of the forest and settles and forges friends with humans. Phoebe is that little girl who, intent on impressing her parents, deliberately goes against their ground rules. Unfortunately she is captured by the cannibal wizards her parents had warned her about. There everyone had given up hope of ever seeing her again, she is delivered to them by the least likely hero Todd the Talking Toad. Helma "The Naughty Nosy Girl" knows how to get away with appalling little deeds. She is curious, daring and adventurous too until she meets an equally naughty cow.
