The land is dry, the juicy fruits on the tree are too high up for the animals to reach. Even strong elephant and tall giraffe cannot help. Then bunny has an idea: maybe wise turtoise could help. Good idea. But stop – this task is for the big ones. Old elephant, tall giraffe and strong lion, however, come back empty-handed each time … The famous Tingagtinga artist John Kilaka has retold and illustrated this traditional African story.
