Rescued by a young boy, the wood believes, for a moment, that it may still have value. However, the boy and his friends abuse the wood through rough play, and leave it forgotten in the wet, cold shadow of a building.

Although he does not fully believe it is possible, the wood finally agrees, and the master carver turns the wood into a beautiful music box
