Description
A hilarious story about getting back up every time you fall.
Ponk is a flightless bird, but he chooses to live at the top of a tree because of the exciting view. As often as he loses balance and falls, he climbs straight back up again. Ponk's friends find him a less ambitious place to live, but the lower branches have no view. So Ponk returns to the top and clings on to his twig ... and doesn't fall! Driven by curiosity, his friends follow, with hilarious results!
