One day, Peppy went to pluck seeds for his children. When he came back, he discovered that all his children were missing.
"Where are my babies?"
"They don't know how to fly. Where will I find them?"
Coco cuckoo told Peppy that a human had taken away his babies.
"When I heard your children crying, I tried to stop him, but he shooed me away with a stick and I got hurt."
Coco showed him her injured wings.
"I am sorry, Coco. You got injured saving the children."
"No, Peppy. We should be there to help each other. My wounds will heal but we need to find your children."
Peppy was in tears.
"Who knows where my babies are and in what condition."
"Crying won't solve anything. Go and seek the help of Monty monkey. He keeps going to the city. He might be able to perhaps find your children."
