Synopsis

An owl and a cat set sail in a pea-green boat, bringing honey and money wrapped in a five-pound note. The owl serenades the cat under the stars, and they decide to marry. After a year and a day, they reach the land where the Bong-tree grows, find a pig with a ring in his nose, and purchase it for their wedding. A turkey officiates their marriage, and they celebrate by dining on mince and quince, dancing hand in hand by the light of the moon.
