"A stream that exists to block the road. Parents of chicken and chicks were in trouble because they could not cross the stream. A dog came there. The dog used his long torso to build a bridge with his body. Thanks to that, the parents and children were able to cross. The very convenient dog bridge was also used for sheep, cows, horses and many other animals. However, the physical strength of the dog who had given heavy animals such as horses was already at the limit. At that time, what appeared is an elephant. The dog, thinking that this would crush the body, stopped rushing to build a bridge. Ogawa who can not cross again. What happened after that? It is an animation work drawn with a touch that gives a very soft, subtle impression with less coloring. Also, animation and music fit well. There are so many funny scenes that you can laugh at, so please take a look and have fun."
