The bear spends his days fishing and the tiger picks mushrooms. One day the bear finds a crate floating along the river. He picks it up and it smells of bananas. The box is labeled PANAMA. The bear and the tiger then decide Panama is the place of their dreams and start out on their journey to find it.
