Unfortunately, they end up finding the flock as roadkill. As a result, Arthur then chooses to take the surviving duckling back to his apartment, where he bathes and feeds it.

In 1607, the Susan Constant sails to the New World from England, carrying British settlers of the Virginia Company. On board are Captain John Smith and the voyage's leader Governor Ratcliffe, who seeks large amounts of gold in the New World to assure a strong position at the British court. Along the way, the Susan Constant is caught in a North Atlantic storm, and Smith saves a young, inexperienced crewmate named Thomas from drowning. In the Powhatan tribe in the New World, Pocahontas, daughter of Chief Powhatan, dreads being possibly wed to Kocoum, a brave warrior whom she sees as too "serious" for her free-spirited personality. Chief Powhatan gives Pocahontas her deceased mother's necklace as a present. Pocahontas, along with her friends, the gluttonous raccoon Meeko and hot-tempered hummingbird Flit, visit Grandmother Willow, a spiritual talking willow tree, and speaks of a possibly prophetic dream involving a spinning arrow, and her confusion regarding what her "path" in life should be. Grandmother Willow then alerts Pocahontas to the arriving British.

While escaping, a one eyed weasel known as One-Eye threatens Leafie, but Wanderer (a mallard duck, 나그네 "Nagnae") helps her to escape. Leafie makes friends with Wanderer, but the guard duck leaves without a word. Leafie goes back to the Farm to join the group of farm animals who reside outside the egg farm in the yard, but Rooster argues with Leafie and refuses to allow her into his flock, wanting her to return laying eggs.

À la suite d'une déception amoureuse, Félicité propose ses services à M Aubain, une veuve avec deux jeunes enfants. Embauchée pour s'occuper du ménage, nourrir, habiller et surveiller le petit garçon et la petite fille, elle se prend d'une grande affection pour eux. Félicité s'occupe également de son jeune neveu tous les dimanches, elle l'affectionne et celui-ci le lui rend bien et a un perroquet rouge prénommé Loulou. Mais M Aubain est très froide et hautaine et malgré l'affection que sa fille, Clémence, porte à Félicité (celle-ci remplace en effet sa mère maladroite et qui ne sait pas montrer d'émotion), M Aubain ne cache pas son mépris pour le « cœur simple » qu'est Félicité. M Aubain a ensuite une liaison qui n'aboutit pas avec son professeur de musique et elle se rend compte qu'elle est seule. Pendant ce temps, les enfants grandissent. Le neveu de Félicité s'engage dans la marine et meurt peu de temps après du typhus laissant sa tante terrassée. Cette mort sera vite suivie par celle, prématurée, de Clémence. Trop tard, M Aubain réalise l'ampleur de son amour pour sa fille, et culpabilise de ne pas l'avoir emmenée se soigner dans le sud où le climat lui aurait été bénéfique. Elle accorde finalement à Félicité, terrassée par ces deux morts consécutives, l'honneur d'être la seule à pouvoir veiller sa fille. M Aubain elle-même ne se remettra jamais de cette mort, se droguant au Laudanum. Alors qu'elle manque de s'évanouir au pied de la tombe de sa fille, Félicité la prend dans ses bras et toutes deux s'embrassent, dans un grand déchirement. Cette servante un peu simplette mais au grand cœur réussit finalement à gagner l'amitié de M Aubain et à faire fondre sa dureté. C'est dans cette amitié que les deux femmes vieillissent, ensemble, dans la simplicité et l'humilité. Malheureusement, M Aubaine meurt à son tour et le perroquet de Félicité aussi. La servante le fait donc empailler avant de sombrer dans la folie et mourir à son tour, seule.

Manor Farm is a formerly prosperous farm that has fallen on hard times, and suffers under the now-ineffective leadership of its drunken and aggressive owner, Mr. Jones. One night, Old Major, the prize boar and the second-oldest on the farm, calls the animals on the farm for a meeting, where he compares the humans to parasites and encourages the animals to break free from their tyrant's influence, while reminding them that they must hold true to their convictions after they have gained freedom. With that, he teaches the animals a revolutionary song, before collapsing dead mid-song to the animals' horror.
