Cherry is tending an injured bird in a small village while neighbors mock her and refuse to spare food, warning winter will leave strays to starve. Ignoring them, she finds a wounded man and nurses him back to consciousness. He wakes, asks for food, and Cherry carefully feeds him; he devours the meal, calling it delicious. The onlookers who earlier turned her away watch his recovery with surprise and a hint of affection. The episode ends with the rescued man's sudden appetite and the village's changed reaction, leaving Cherry's solitary kindness unresolved.
