64 Zoo Lane is a colorful animated children's television show about a young girl named Lucy who lives in a house next to a zoo. Each night she crawls through a tunnel from her bedroom and visits the zoo animals, who tell her stories about their lives and adventures.
In season 1 episode 22, titled "The Story of Beverly Beaver," Lucy meets Beverly, a hardworking beaver who is building a dam for her family. Beverly is determined to finish the dam before the rainy season begins, but she is having trouble finding the right kind of wood. Lucy suggests that she ask the wise old tree in the forest for advice, and Beverly agrees.
Along the way, they meet various other animals who offer to help Beverly with her dam, including a group of monkeys who swing from a nearby tree and gather sticks for her. When they finally arrive at the tree, the wise old tree tells Beverly that the only wood she needs is the wood from her own dam. Beverly is hesitant at first, but the wise old tree reminds her that the dam was built with love and care, and that those are the most important things.
With this knowledge, Beverly returns to her dam and begins to carefully dismantle it. As she does so, she remembers all of the hard work that went into building it, and all of the fun times she had with her family there. Lucy helps her carry the wood back to the new dam site, and Beverly begins to build again, this time with a renewed sense of purpose.
As she works, Beverly realizes that the new dam is even better than the old one, and that it was worth taking the time to do it right. She is proud of her work, and of the fact that she was able to learn something new from the wise old tree. Lucy thanks Beverly for sharing her story, and the episode ends with the two of them saying goodnight and returning home through the tunnel.
