Summary: A duck spends her days limping around her backyard with the help of a crutch until one day a lost blind hen stumbles in, and persuades the duck to embark on an adventurous journey. The duck will guide the hen and the hen will steady the duck's wonky leg. They leave together for a place where their most secret wishes will come true. The pair come upon astonishing obstacles along the way: a wild forest, a cavernous gorge and many differences of opinion. The hen starts to wish she'd taken a guide dog rather than a duck! When the two finally arrive at their destination after all the hardships, they realize that their own backyard plus a little imagination offers as much adventure as a whole world
