Beno, a little goat, doesn’t like to learn. He complains about doing chores for his parents and prefers to be lazy. When Wishing Fruits drop from the sky, Beno gets a wish: as much food as he can eat! When he becomes bored and even lazier, he learns that there’s no satisfaction in not working for what you want and returns home to help out his parents.
