Sometimes the most unlikely heroine can become an inspiration
Every year the geese return. Honking and flapping, they always land in groups. But this spring something is different: an injured goose stands on one leg - alone. Shunned by the other geese, she is unable to search for food, swim, or fly away. A young girl watches and wonders how a goose with one foot can survive. She wants to feed her, take care of her, be her friend. But her mother warns that "a wild goose has to learn to live with her weakness. Or she won't live at all." It takes patience and courage for both goose and girl to let nature take its course.
