The Marzipan Pig

The pig laments being forgotten and as dust begins to cover him, he remains hopeful about someone discovering him.

The clock suddenly feels the loss and desperately awaits her return, finally knowing both tight loneliness and cold emptiness.

The mouse, unbeknownst to the clock, has been eaten by an owl that falls in love with a lighted taxi meter and dances for rides.

Back at the house, she finds a package with a new marzipan pig - one without any knowledge of love or loneliness.

The little boy who lives in the house opens the package (it is his birthday) and finds the mouse who escapes back into its hole.
