The Little Dumpling, made by a countryside housewife, would not agree to be eaten. Swiftly taking advantage of the opportunity, she runs away from a wooden spoon and hides behind a chest of drawers. Next, she grabs a folk outfit and sets off for the world. This is how her journey full of adventures and surprises begins. She makes a lot of new friends and goes to places she has never heard of before. Her curiosity has no limits. She secretively watches a countryside wedding, woodcutters repairing a destroyed bridge, and she is not scared to sail down a river on a garland. She has got always a smile on her face and sings a lively folk tune.
