A timid rabbit roams in the woods looking for a proper shelter. Woken up by a gleam of light one night, she encounters a mysterious shadow. As the unforeseen danger approaches, a mouse with a flower lantern comes into her sight.

Plašna zajčica tava po gozdu in išče primerno zavetje. Neke noči jo zbudi svetel žarek in naleti na skrivnostno senco. Ko se približuje nepričakovana nevarnost, zagleda miško s cvetlično svetilko.
