8 year old Marit is on summer vacation with her family. The new baby gets most of the attention and Marit is left all alone most of the time. What she wants most of all is a horse but her parents strongly oppose. One day in the woods Marit hears a cuckoo, and she knows that if you sit still under the tree where it sits, will get one wish come true. She wishes to get a horse and the same day she finds one all alone. Did her wish come true?
