Big C, a cape buffalo, is a loner, is grouchy and has little to say. Little Ox, a little busybody of an oxpecker, is the opposite: loves to jabber, is always in a happy mood and enjoys company. So what do the two have in common? They have a symbiotic relationship: Little Ox picks fleas off Big C and that keeps him from itching; in turn, Little Ox gets lunch. But one day, Big C and Little Ox have a quarrel and Little Ox leaves. For Big C, a lesson about friendship unfolds.
