Night, lightning, a tree. Feathers fall. A cat slips away. A single egg is left, then rolls from the nest down into a dump. Mice on their way home from stealing crumbs find the chick hatching and take her in before the cat can.
Theme. The film tells you, in the first minute, that a parent bird is gone and a hunter was there. Soft felt does not cancel that.
What to say. You might say: 'A cat was in the tree, and the egg was alone. The mice took her home. We can skip this start and join when she is little in the nest.'
