Cliffs. Mother seagull loses one of the five eggs she is brooding, which ends up on the beach. Jason finds it just as it’s hatching. The newly born chick, seeing the crab wearing a pair of wings he had made to try to learn to fly, mistakes him for his father and imitates his every movement. Ripples, Polly and Jason decide to take the young bird back home. Reaching the top of the cliff flying on a huge palm leaf, our friends complete their mission. After meeting his real dad, the chick now takes to calling Jason “Uncle”.
