A mouse decides one morning to make an omelet, but needs an egg, and sets out to find one. On his search, he eventually finds everything needed to bake a cake, including apples, flour, and sugar, but also those most precious ingredients-community and friends, from a hedgehog to an owl to a raccoon- and learns about the unexpected gifts of asking for what you need and sharing what you have.
