This show is a bout a fox who decides to have a dinner party for his friends. Ms. Parrot and Ms. Flamingo fly away each time he tells them he wants to "have them for dinner". Ms. Toucan realizes that they misunderstood the invitation, "will you come to dinner" not "I want you for my dinner". All ends well.
