He was very excited but unfortunately, the guava fell from her claws into a thorny bush. She wanted it very badly so she sought help from a boy first, but he denied. Then she went to a farmer and begged him to beat the boy up for not helping. Then came the cow, fisherman, rat, and a cat but everyone refused to help Gubbi with her mischievous plan of hurting people who refused to help. Then she went to her friend, an ant, and she agreed to help her out. In the end, with a chain of events as she had planned out, Gubbi got her guava back but this time she got hit by a big chunk of firewood and lost the guava yet again.
