Even though other animals invite him to play, he keeps to himself, positive that nobody will really want to be his friend because he looks different. When he tries to look like everyone else, it doesn’t quite work the way he planned. After getting some help from a local misguided buzzard and a wise owl, he learns that everyone is best at being themselves and that he doesn’t need to try to be someone else or look like someone else just to make friends. True friends care about Jake for who he is inside and that’s what makes him special.</p> </div> <!-- begin detail text --> </div> <div id="comments"> <div id="comments_list" class="comments"> <h3><span>One</span> Comment</h3> <ol> <li id="li-comment-79" class="comment even thread-even depth-1"> <div class="comment_container " id="comment-79"> <div class="comment_author vcard"><img alt='' src='http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/b42f7db5abf538d8d357009253518e19?s=80&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D80&r=G' class='photo avatar avatar-80 photo' height='80' width='80' /><br /><div style="text-align:center; font-size:11px;">Jun 14, 2011<br />2:45 am</div> </div> <div class="comment-meta"></div> <div class="comment_content"> <h3><a href='http://tobystoons.blogspot.com' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>Toby</a></h3> <!-- say:<br /><br /> --> <p>OMG it’s so beautiful!
