Overview

He enjoys pushing Turtle Topik, who has made it to the top of the grassy hill, back down the slope. Having great fun, Kuki is unaware how much he upsets all his friends. He finds himself all alone the next day at Kurbiş the Frog’s party. Will Kuki realize his mistake and find a way to apologize from his friends.
