The story is about two "problem animals". The first is a hedgehog which only leaves its hiding place in disguise. The other is a bird which is so scared of heights that it frequently has to go hungry. Despite or perhaps because of these circumstances a friendship develops between these two unlikely candidates. This friendship helps them overcome their problems.
