On a rainy day, Sylvester Duncan, a young donkey, discovers a red pebble with the power to grant wishes. Delighted, he imagines all the wonderful things he could ask for. Then a frightening lion appears, and Sylvester makes a hurried wish that changes him into a rock. Unable to move or speak, he is left alone as his parents search for him. Can chance, love and a little magic bring Sylvester home again?
