Our friends accept us as who we are, quirks and all. The animal lovers among us know that friendships can bloom anywhere and, many times, our best friends come in four-legged packages. But, even our furry companions develop friendships with other creatures from different species.
Friendships know no bounds and "Remarkable Animal Friendships" was inspired by such relationships. From some of the smallest of critters to some of the largest ones, other members of the animal kingdom eagerly show us that there is no limit to making friends and sharing that universal love of caring for another soul.

This charming story is all about friendship.
A little bird is looking for his friend the hippopotamus.

As the day progresses and no one is able to help him, he grows discouraged... where could his friend be?
This delightful story teaches an invaluable lesson not only about interacting with wildlife but also about the importance of protecting it and keeping it free.
A young boy wholeheartedly enjoys the melody of a blue bird that sings from a nearby tree.

But the blue bird will only come down for the boy, who learns a valuable lesson once it does.
This story is based on actual events. Many years ago there was a tradition that on Good Friday nothing could be done. To help fulfill this day of rest, a legend was born which said that if anyone got into the ocean on this particular day they would turn into a fish. Parents would warn their children about this. My grandmother also told this to my mother and uncle on one such occasion in which they, when they were little, happened to be at the beach on a Good Friday.
In this sweet story, two siblings go to the shore with their mother, who wishes to visit her sister. Once there, they are warned to not go into the ocean, since it is Good Friday. If they do so, they’ll become fish!
Will they heed their mother’s warning? Or, will they risk the consequences of their actions?

To her shock, Arnekus, the priest, chooses only a handful of men to go face the large invading forces; and, among them is her father!
