Pukeko loves to dance. He's got all the moves. He dances in swamp, he dances in bush, he dances down by the river. However, his heart's desire is to dance on...the road! So comes the day when he sets off to achieve his heart's desire. Does he learn his lesson - or does he become part of the pukeko road kill statistic that we have all seen evidence of? Of course he learns his lesson - and he's lucky enough to live to dance and jive and shimmy and boogie down another day!
