When a fawn and a tree are hurt and in trouble, the gnomes come to their rescue. Then a storm comes and floods the gnomes' home. The owl is waiting to protect them, and the owls' mate flies to the deer for help. The gnomes are carried to the deer's cave, where they all wait for the storm to subside. The question is; Where will the gnomes live now and who helps them? This is a story of kindness and the Golden Rule. The whimsical gnomes represent the hope that there could be little creatures that take care of the forest.
