A hungry boar in a winter forest found some food with the help of a house pig living in a remote barn. The boar came to the pig from time to time and the pig kept some of its feed for the boar.

Ban-jum-da-lee had a peaceful life and was so loved by its parents. One day, Ban-jum-da-lee was captured in a trap that people had installed, while it was searching for food alone. It was sent to an animal research center and shown to people. Meanwhile, parents of Ban-jum-da-lee went to every corner of the forest looking for a sign of their baby.
