GroM wakes up one morning to find that his mouth is stuck in a sour face. He, who wants to be happy and smile! His friend LobO comes visiting and together they embark on a journey to find GroM’s smile. They try with a circus visit and with magic potions but in the end, a hug from a good friend was all that was needed.
