Ver la belleza de nuestro planeta con ojos frescos...Un visitante llega a la Tierra desde un planeta lejano y queda absolutamente impresionado por la belleza de la naturaleza. Una zanahoria, un pájaro y un diente de león; él ama todo. Pronto se encuentra con un grupo de animales (un león, un cocodrilo, un elefante, un ganso, un zorro y un avestruz) que simplemente no entienden lo que él ve en estos objetos tan cotidianos.
Después de pasar más tiempo juntos, los amigos pronto entienden la diferencia entre ver algo y realmente mirarlo. Muy pronto, logran apreciar verdaderamente la vida que fluye a través de todo el mundo natural.
