Bod is watching a grasshopper and when it hops off, he hops off after it. Frank the Postman, Aunt Flo, P.C. Copper and Farmer Barleymow see Bod hopping off and join him. They see all kinds of interesting things on the way.

At various times of the year Aunt Flo is a little bit sad to see first the leaves, then the blossom fall off the cherry tree in her garden. But Bod explains to her how it is all part of the cycle of life for the tree.
