Plot
There are anthropomorphic numbers from 1 to 20 that climb up an apple tree first, including 5 wearing a top hat, but later, it counts by tens starting at 30 and uses 70 with long hair when ending at 90, and then finally 99, climb it. The numbers climbed it, but 0 thought of a place for him in the tree. There's no room for the number 0 himself, till a group of bumblebees come to the tree and flew around and made everyone fall out, counting backwards. Most of the numbers get injuries from the fall, as you can tell, because that's what the bumblebees did. The number 0 knows where he would be in the apple tree now, because he jumps into the sky and lands on top of the tree and then he joins with 10 to make the number 100 when all the bumblebees are gone away and they had a long flight away from the tree. The other numbers return and climb up the apple tree, cheering for the bravery of 10 and 0 because they know that 0 is hero is the number tree.
