He is in love with a particular yard full of plants and flowers that is within his work area and pays considerable attention to it every day. The yard belongs to Clementina, a lady who takes care of his plants.
One day, Pepo is attracted to a new flower in Clementina's yard and inadvertently gets tangled up in the cord of his headphones, falls into the yard and injures one of his wings.
Clementina sees him and is frightened by the noises, he tries to explain to her who he is and little by little he gains her trust.
