A wonderful fable inspired by an ancient Swahili legend reminds us of the importance of taking responsibility for our actions.

Kuku the hen and Mwewe the eagle have been best friends their entire lives. Kuku was very vain, and every year, when spring arrived, she would go to the city to buy a kitenge so elegant that everyone in the village would admire her. But one day, as she happily walked through the savanna, she didn't realize that her dress had snagged on a tree branch, until she suddenly heard... RRRRIP! Sad to see her new dress ruined, Kuku begs Mwewe to lend her a needle that is also a family heirloom. Mwewe, reluctantly, lends her friend the needle that belonged to her ancestors, trusting that she will take care of it as the most precious possession it is, with one condition: she must return it.
