In an ancient, forgotten time, there lived monkey-like, tiny and timid, Gabinky forest creatures. One momentous day, a courageous Gabinky ventured from the safety of their homes hidden in the shadowy forest undergrowth. Journeying up into a tall tree and looking out into the wide, frightening sky, the world changes. It was terrifying. But wait, awestruck, the Gabinky sees a bear, in the air! What does it mean? Join the little Gabinky on this evolutionary tale of fear, courage, and joy. Story inspired in part by Frederick Nietzsche (1844-1900)
