Apollo the Swallow and Chack the Blackbird meet in the garden as fledglings when they are both learning to fly. Apollo explains that he is practicing flying to Africa--but Chack doesn't believe him. Chack tells Apollo that the blossom on his favorite tree will eventually turn into orange berries--but Apollo doesn't believe him. With the inevitable turning of the seasons, however, both birds learn to believe the other--and cement their friendship forever.
