Rosa and Wally go on a picnic, but Wally gets exhausted because he was dragging a cart with a bunch of Rosa's things. He falls down from fatigue and is buried by all the items he had to drag, which is why Rosa thinks that he has disappeared. Meanwhile, Dokko tells Barry a joke about two moose sitting on the rails, and one tells the other to move over. Barry doesn't laugh at his joke, and Dokko tries to explain it but sees Rosa next to the house. He asks her to listen to his joke; otherwise, it would seem to him that he and Barry live in different worlds. Rosa replies that it is. Some see one thing, and others see something else in the same thing, and what is most surprising is that something seems to you at first to be one thing, and then you see that it is completely different. For example, Wally was always very slow, but when he got offended, he became so fast that she didn't even have time to apologize as he disappeared. Dokko and Barry decide to her find Wally, unsucessfully looking for him everywhere.

Dokko says that everything in the world is relative, but this is not a reason to go crazy. For example, when playing on the swings, he is standing still, but is moving as far as the ground goes. Dokko gets so carried away with the story that he knocks Barry down, and the glass of his telescope cracks.

Dokko, Barry, and Rosa are looking for Wally on the coast. Dokko says that opinions on the same thing can be different because everything depends on the point of view. Rosa asks how to understand each other in this case, and Dokko tells her that she needs to temporarily take the other's place. For example, when he takes Barry's place, and he's told a funny joke about moose on the rails, but he doesn't laugh because for this, you need to have a sense of humor. Barry notices that Dokko is approaching the pit and warns him about it. Dokko tries to find the hole with a telescope but sees nothing. Then he declares that he is taking Barry's place again. All his life, in the garden, he digs holes; it's no wonder that they seem to be everywhere. Declairing there to be no pit, the scientist falls into it.

By nightfall, Dokko, Barry, and Rosa reach the pile of Rosa's things and see Wally there, who by that time had finally been able to get out from under them. Wally says that sometimes it seems to him that there are so many of us around, but sometimes it seems that we are all alone and so easily get lost. His friends sit next to him and admire the full moon together. Suddenly Barry starts laughing out loud because he finally understood the meaning of Dokko's joke.

Tropes:

  • Call-Back: One of the places Rosa, Dokko and Barry try to find Wally in is the well he once fell in.
  • Instantly Proven Wrong: When Barry tries to warn Dokko about the pit, the latter reassures him that there is no one, and immediately falls into it.
  • Late to the Punchline: Barry doesn't understand Dokko's joke about two moose on the rails until the final seconds of the episode.
  • Mood Whiplash: Dokko, Barry, Rosa and Wally are admiring the moon, when suddenly Barry starts laughing inappropriately loudly because he finally understood the meaning of Dokko's joke.
