Summary
When Rat--who is the only animal who knows how to make fire--takes his best friend's advice and stores his food in Elephant's solid house, Elephant turns him away from his fair share when the drought comes, so Rat leaves, leaving the other animals without fire.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Only Rat knows how to make fire, and he generously provides it to all the other animals. When his best friend, Elephant, suggests that Rat store his food in Elephantâs solid house, Rat agrees. But when the drought comes, Elephant refuses to share the stored food. ÂYou are tiny, and you donât need much,â he says. ÂSo go away.â When the other animals return to fetch their fire, Rat is gone and Elephant is worried. What will his betrayed friend do? John Kilaka brings a traditional Tanzanian animal fable to life with gentle humor, vibrant color, and memorable characters.
