When the angels call the shepherds to Bethlehem to view the new king, Micah is left behind to look after the flock. Alone and afraid of the wolves, he is delighted to find a new friend in the Little Angel who has damaged her wings and so also been left behind. Together the two friends set off for Bethlehem to see the newborn king and find their lives are changed for ever.
