L'Orso

A lazy, irresponsible bear does no repairs on his cabin for a whole year, but now that winter is approaching, he finds himself in dire straits. The rain leaks in through the roof, and the chimney does not draw well, but luckily for the bear, his friend the rabbit is prepared to help. Then, the bear finds a hollow trunk and decides to move into it for the winter, leaving his house empty. Unfortunately, a fox has its eye on the same tree trunk, and agrees to give it up only if the bear finds another one for her. The lazy bear agrees, but then forgets his commitment, and so the fox kicks him out of the tree trunk after teaching him a lesson. Unhappily, the bear returns home and finds that his friend the rabbit has repaired everything. At last, he understands that being lazy doesn't pay...

This series is largely composed of segmented episodes hosted by a bear, and each of these features one or more creatures. One can learn about a creature's life and habits during a question-and-answer session at the end of each episode. This brief educational section covers the featured topic and answers typical questions, such as "Where does an animal live?", "What does it eat?", "What are its enemies?" and "How is its relationship with human beings?"

Locations featured vary from sea, land, and sky... and the creatures in question include many kinds of fish, mammals, insects and birds. On occasion, a featured animal is presented with its own name, while at other times, creatures are presented according to only their species.

Towards the end of the series, multi-segmented stories are presented with human characters in supporting roles. These episodes allow the host to introduce fantastic, imaginary animals, such as the winged horse and the dragon, and also to share information about their prominent roles in mythology. The moral of the series is that because certain animals were looked upon as gods and immortalized in the mythologies of ancient history, we should, therefore, learn to pay better attention to the animal kingdom of today, so as to improve our understanding of the world in which we dwell.
