Story
A little bird falls in love with the moon and sings to it for so long that a tired monkey throws a stick at the bird in frustration. The stick misses the bird and hits a snake who startles a mouse while trying to escape from the stick. The mouse is so terrified of the snake that it swells and swells until it is the size of an elephant! While the giant mouse is escaping from the snake, the King’s son becomes injured and then the King needs to unravel what has happened to find the truth.
