The stories

“The Lonely One”

A lonely Konga makes his way to the Swiss Alps and while playing around, triggers an avalanche that buries him up to his neck. Not only do the locals feel sorry for him, but he gains worldwide sympathy. Bob and Sandra (his original human friends that go all the way back to his origin), come to visit him. Eventually Konga's body heat and the warm weather causes enough snow to melt where Konga is able to free himself. He eventually is escorted to a warm island off the coast of Africa.

“Kobi the Hunter”

A prehistoric story involving three cave people. Kobi the hunter encounters Balt the hunter and his sister. The three become friends and learn about sharing, social interactions, as well as cooking raw meat with fire.
