One fine summer evening, a hungry bear decides that he would like to taste a piece of the moon and builds a rocketship to get there.

Bear had never seen a rainbow and when he did he thought it was the sky on fire. A bird he met told him it was a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end but bear did not believe him. Bear took a pot of water to put out the fire and bird goes to find the pot of gold.

Bear and Little Bird try to help each other achieve impossible ambitions.

Bear and Little Bird find a baby fish in their pond and decide to keep her for a pet, but when she starts to sprout wings, or maybe paws, each thinks the fish wants to be like him, which puts a strain on their friendship.

When Bear tries to see the sunrise but always oversleeps, Little Bird makes a suggestion.
