During the final assignment to earn their leaf keepers cloak, Mushroom, an enthusiastic young forest sprite, is teamed up with Leaves, a more by the books & timid sprite, to teach a morning song to a bird. The bird Mushroom chooses Gail reveals she can't sing. The trio try a variety of methods, one of which is meeting up with Mushroom's friend The Forest Witch who trades a magic crystal for Leaves' hat & Gail's satchel. However, the crystal only makes Gail's voice louder instead. Frustrated, Leaves goes to Pop Pop to see if they can pick another bird. Afterwards Gail asks if they can return the crystal to the witch for her satchel which contained her poems, Mushroom asks what poems are and after Gail explains Mushroom gets excited and wants to hear one. Gails reads a poem from memory, which causes Mushroom to fall asleep. Gail wakes her up and Mushroom has an idea on how to pass the assignment.

The two meet up with Leaves at the meeting (By flying straight onto him) and Gail reads her poem using the voice enhancing crystal to reach the entire forest. The entire class wakes up the next morning, Pop Pop states that while they didn't teach Gail a morning song, they did however help her find her place in the forest as the first poet of the evening and he awards Mushroom and Leaves magic cloaks, signifying they both have passed, and will move on to leaf keepers in training.
