The story follows the main character 'Magpie', who, as is her custom, collects shiny objects into her nest. However, other birds living in her vicinity build their nests in a classical practical way – from pieces of wood, in contrast to Magpie, which just mocks them and manically stuffs her nest with a huge pile of gold. However, on the day of the storm, she realizes that she has nowhere to hide in her nest, and her tree is on the verge of collapse. This becomes her downfall.
