But this peace is disturbed when the animals and the girl encounter bulldozers tearing down the trees. The girl, who’s learned to love the creatures and their habitats, resolves to assist.

In the process, she encounters a unicorn, traverses a volcano, locates a cave, and meets an elf, among other surprise developments. In a castle filled with wise and busy beings, she is advised that the key to stopping environmental destruction is cultural understanding.
