As he travels around, he discovers that life can be much harder for others and he learns to understand and accept this. Sometimes his efforts to get them straightened gets him into some scrapes and funny situations. Eventually he arrives at the conclusion that it isn't so important and accepts his disability as just an annoyance and sets out his ambition to adjust to it and to become the best rhino he can possibly be.
