A Swallow and a Blackbird meet in the garden as fledglings when they are both learning to fly. Apollo explains that he is practising flying to Africa - but Chack doesn't believe him.
Chack tells Apollo that the blossom on his favourite tree will eventually turn into orange berries - Apollo doesn't believe him.
But, with the inevitable turning of the seasons, both birds learn to believe the other - and cement their friendship forever.
