Bees, tui, geckoes, and bats all feed on the Pohutukawa tree, but the possum threatens the life of the tree, until a boy comes to the rescue and catches it. The cycle of life continues and the seeds of the tree are blown to the ground. New seedlings spring up and soon there are more trees by the sleepy blue sea.
