Summary
Dimensional animation is used to tell the story of Morris the Moose who learns the usefulness of reading and counting. Starting the new day with a pocket full of pennies, Morris intends to go to the candy store but ends up in the fish store where the manager tells him about letters and reading. At the candy store, Morris receives his first math lesson and is referred to the local school. Although the children initially make fun of the irrepressible moose, Morris soon adjusts to classroom decorum and acquires the rudiments of reading and counting. He returns to the candy store proud of his new accomplishments.
