Three unlikely friends, and three different ways of being in the world. This simplest of stories is a fable for life.

It's Valentine's Day, and Little Duck is throwing a party. However, Little Fox's appearance makes the farm animals nervous. Will they be receptive to this tiny newcomer?

Everyone wants to look their best for Little Duck's birthday party|especially because they're going to take a party-picture. But Little Duck has never had a birthday before, so he isn't sure how to get himself ready. Not knowing what else to do, he decides to follow everyone else's lead, However, once he's in front of the camera, Little Duck discovers that, instead of looking his best, he's actually made a big mess!

The annual Corn Maze Festival is coming and every day the chickens, cows, and Duck help Farmer Brown--with a few bribes--to create a special Statue of Liberty corn maze, and every night Duck works hard creating his own surprise.

A bunch of literate cows go on strike after Farmer Brown refuses to give in to their typed demands of electric blankets when the barn gets too cold.
