Once there was a bear who lived in the forest and did all the regular bear things. But as the world and the forest around him changes, he finds that it's becoming more and more difficult to be a bear. So he decides that the sensible thing to do would be to learn how to be human. After all, humans don't seem to be having any trouble in the changing world. With a little girl as his teacher, the bear learns all the important human stuff and heads off for the city to try out his new skills ... but nothing goes as planned. So, back in the forest, the little girl suggests that maybe bears should be less like humans, and humans should be more like bears. And with the bear as her teacher, she begins to learn all the important bear stuff, ultimately discovering that the Earth is a place of giving, where all living things breathe together.
