A puffin who is upset that he's constantly mistaken for a penguin learns the important lesson that it only takes one person to make things better when you're feeling alone, angry, or misunderstood.

A little girl stops him in mid-speech because she does know the differences, and he listens as she explains to her father why puffins are her favorite.
