The pair aim to capture Son Pari and profit by displaying her to the world. Fruity unknowingly frees the bird, which is actually Son Pari in disguise. The fairy visits Earth with permission from the fairy queen, Pari Rani. Fruity, whose mother died long ago, often gazes at the stars, believing her mother is among them. One night, Son Pari appears and offers friendship in return for Fruity’s earlier help. This begins their unusual bond. Son Pari and Altu meet Fruity regularly, embarking on adventures.
