After a nuclear war, almost all life on Earth was destroyed. The surviving humans made telepathic contact with all the animals and birds.

Humans called on all of them to work to restore the planet. Rivers and soil had to be cleaned, new forests had to be grown.

The Grey Goose learned of the message. He took it skeptically, as he did not trust humans and did not want to work for them.

The feathery birds have gathered together. A man spoke before them.

He explained the need for birds to participate in the common work of restoring the Earth. The man told them that animals and even bacteria were already helping people.

The goose still did not trust humans, but took part in restoring the mangled planet.
