Trumpee, Snaree and the Xilos are having fun throwing a feather in the air. Snaree is a bit jealous of the Xilos who are the best at this game, throwing the feather so high no one can catch it. Suddenly Snaree has an idea: he climbs on a little hill and after a small roll, he opens his drumsticks, waves them like wings and throw himself into the void. The other meloditties observe him amazed. The narrator tries to stop him.
