About Making Good
A stork carries a sack of small creatures with antennae into a place called Fairy Land, where Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is standing. He helps the stork offer the sack. A swallow refuses. A weasel refuses. An old woman who lives in a giant boot accepts. The creatures then pour out by the dozen.
