The animals are starving and thirsting. But there stands a tree, full of the most delicious, juiciest fruits. However, a massive python has wrapped itself around the tree trunk, blocking access to the life-saving fruits. Only those who can tell the snake the name of the magic tree can find salvation. Who knows the name? Who among all the animals can discover it? An old African fable, retold by Dianne Hofmeyr and cheerfully illustrated by Piet Grobler for our time.
