Babar tells the story of the time he wanted to get a very special birthday present- a feather from a special bird- to give as a gift. He goes on a long quest to seek it, and is tailed by two golfing rhinoceroses also trying to get the feather. The rhinos almost get the feather, but end up saving Babar's life. Babar gets the feather, and gives it, though it is all bedraggled, and the recipiant is greatful because of all the work they went to to get it. ( )
