Three young chicks speaking different languages travel together. They are looking for the sun, which has not been seen for three days. After meeting other small animals on the way, who guided them, they find that the sun is trapped behind a dark cloud. At the end, they make the sun shine again with the audience’s help.

Sol, solet, on ets?

Sun, little sun, where are you?

A couple made of two numbers give birth to a child, but it is a zero. His father does not accept him, because the child does not look like him. At school, his classmates do not want to play with him either, because he does not have any value. Zero goes to the country of the eights, poses as an eight by joining two zeros, but he realises that the eights are also intolerant. As an eight, he enters the country of the threes, looking like two threes put together, and the threes believe he is a higher being. But when he admits that he is a zero, he is arrested for being an impostor. Then, the threes ask for the wise man’s help. He says that zero adds value to each number, if he stands to their right. Indeed, the numbers realise that if they combine with a zero, they are more valuable. In the end, everyone wants to be friends with the zero. It proves that, on his own, zero was doomed to be nothing and to be sad, but once he lives with other numbers, he is very happy.
