First Step

There is a small creature Plupko living in a large tree in a forest. Plupko dreams about adventure in the big world, but he has never left his tree. One day, Plupko decides for the first time to get to the ground, but it seems more difficult than he expected. His own shadow has thrown him to the ground, the spirit of his own fear has appeared and chase him back to the tree. One night, Plupko found the little star stuck in the branches and released it. Next few days, Plupko unsuccessfully tries to get away, failing to overcome his fears.
He has decided for the final attempt, all or nothing. This time, the little star comes to help him face his fears Plupko, encouraged, finally steps on the ground and the fear disappears.
