After the rain in a misty Sichuan bamboo forest, Tuantuan the panda cub meets an ant who needs to cross a puddle that looks like a river to someone so small. Tuantuan’s paw is too big for the stepping stone, and a twig bridge is too short. A floating bamboo leaf becomes a boat, but his first big breath sends it spinning. With small, gentle breaths he blows the ant safely home, and he learns that one step for him is a long journey for someone tiny.
