Baby Busi is lying near the river while her mother is working in the fields. All of a sudden Baby Busi is swallowed by a frog, which is swallowed by many other animals. But the animals start to yawn, giving the animals they have swallowed a chance to escape. Baby Busi is escapes and ends up on the blanket where she was in the beginning.
