He gathers tons of animals, anything from a rhinoceros to a squirrel to get his best friends airplane down.  They finally stack over 15 animals on top of each other to get the airplane down and right as Rabbit and Mouse get to the top the animals start to lose their balance and fall over.  Mouse finally gets the airplane.  They fly around until they get it stuck again.  But knowing Rabbit, he decides that he has another great plan.
