A Hon relieves him of all his belongings and distributes them among the animals. A bar of soap goes to the pelican, who swallows it and starts blowing bubbles. The leopard gets a pipe and Avhen he tries to smoke it, his spots start doing funny tricks. Searching for his master, Felix sees the prints of human shoes. He follows them and sees a crane clad in the hunter's boots. In a similar manner, he runs across other possessions of the hunter. The mans' pistol is swallowed by the ostrich.
