Dokdok is a scare crow who can talk and move. His friends are Nouras the Sea Gull, Gharab the Crow, and Abou Fasada the Bird. In this story we are introduced to the scarecrow standing all alone in the middle of the field. He cries for someone to come and talk to him but the wind just keeps repeating his words. When he says listen to my heart beating dok dok dok, he hears the wind repeat the same sound. This is how he got his name. The Sea Gull is the first to befriend Dokdok and finds that he is not scary at all. We are introduced to his friends one after the other. This is the beginning of a series of stories about adventures that the friends encounter together.
