A boy and a girl sit on the floor surrounded by paper and colored pencils. The girl sharpens the pencils — but not the boy's pencil, whose lead is broken. The boy draws a car and the girl draws a flower — the boy lets the car run over the flower. The girl takes revenge by drawing holes in the car's tires. With a drawn tow truck, the boy retrieves the disabled car. The girl draws a child with braids, the boy draws a mouse that frightens the child. The child starts to meow and the mouse flees back to the boy, who now draws a dog. The child can satisfy the dog with a drawn bone. When the boy draws a lion, the child first flees to a tree drawn by the girl, and later into a house...
