Onyx and Kiwi
A little chick named Onyx, who always worries a lot, plans to meet his good friend Kiwi for breakfast but unexpectedly arrives late. Standing alone in front of the café, with Kiwi nowhere in sight, Onyx feels so sad and thinks he'll never have a good friend. However, to his surprise, Kiwi also arrives late because he is a little turtle who did his best but was simply too slow. They hug each other, melting away their worries. Kiwi's cheerful and optimistic nature helps Onyx feel the strength of friendship, gradually changing Onyx's perspective on facing his anxieties.
