Hugo is staying in hospital and is anxious to go home. From his bed overlooking the zoo, he hears the noises of the animals and begins daydreaming of a world outside the hospital. One by one, the animals invite him to join them - first an elephant, then a howler monkey, and finally a snow leopard - and he returns with tales of his adventures and 'souvenirs' for his envious sister.
