Dog and Cat chat in speech bubbles at the beach, and children find who is in the story (the characters) and where it happens (the setting, shown by the sand, the water and the sun). The story is then counted up, two characters and one setting, and the video ends on a one-line recap: characters tell us who, and the setting tells us where.
