This story is about Birt and Etho, two friends. They love to play together with cardboard boxes (as many kids do!). They utilize their wild imaginations to build many things and people from these cardboard boxes like soldiers and astronauts, or even pirates. However, one day a new boy joins them and their friendship starts changing. Birt doesn't want anyone to join in between, but Etho welcomes the new boy. This pushes aside Etho's friendship with Birt. Come whatever may, Birt doesn't want to play with them at all. Can the new boy and Etho devise a plan to convince Birt to return back and play with them?
