Synopsis
The rabbit and his poodle friend Winner are going to the soccer field, where their trainer is waiting to have a match with them. The two starts passing the ball to each other playfully, but the rabbit then (by chance) hits an old goat, causing its glasses to fall to the ground. The little rabbit apologizes to the old goat, while Winner laughs at him. During the warm up before the match, Winner hits the trainer's face with a ball, and as the trainer asks him for explanation, the poodle defends himself by saying he forgot his glasses at home. The match proceeds& It seems that Winner has over exaggerated this time, scoring his own goal! Suddenly, the old goat hit by the rabbit in the park comes out of the crowd, and generously gives Winner its glasses. But soon after, it realizes that Winner's problem is not in fact his sight, but rather the lack of courage in admitting his faults.

Production notes
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.
