Description: Shows life as it is lived on a Swedish farm and in the woods nearby and portrays nature in its many forms. Reveals some of the events that occur in the struggle for existence as the fox preys upon the farmer's hen coop to feed her cubs and the farmer preys upon the fox to protect his brood. Depicts the story of a young boy and his brother who capture an otter which they learn to love dearly, protecting it from the older persons who want to kill it. Pictures them as they spend all of their money buying fish for the otter when they can catch no more themselves and shows the older boy's grief when the otter runs back into the woods.
