Ariol is head over heels in love with his classmate Petula, a lovely little cow with curls, and he keeps dreaming about her. Other than that, he loves spending time with his best friend Ramono. They are often up to some mischief, so their form teacher Mr. Blunt and gym teacher De Muscle sometimes get angry with them. Ramono is not doing that great at school, and Ariol occasionally gets stuck. Fortunately, Bizzbille is always there to help them – particularly to Ariol, because she’s in love with him. Although his school work occasionally gives him problems, Ariol is a very intelligent donkey. His mother lets him know that, too, and she always stands by him and encourages him when he feels uncertain.
