A young fox is just emerging from the safety of the den. His father guides him and the other cubs to the railway station to meet a kind man who feeds them. But one day, a group of rowdy boys harass the man and he has to be taken to the hospital. The cub is very wary of the boys, but he is also very hungry, so when one of the boys comes back with food, the cub risks eating it--and so begins the start of an unusual friendship!
