Sikulu the spider and Harambe the hippo travel to the village of Sioma, where they encounter an old woman whose clothes have fallen into the river. The fish, the stork, and the elephant all have convenient excuses for not helping, while Sikulu and Harambe are the only ones who help. Based on an African folktale, this story reinforces the benefit of kindness and offers a glossary of terms and information about Zambian culture.
