    Summary: 
    Retells a folktale of the Fipa tribe of Tanzania in which the animals must work together when there is a drought and they have no food. In the middle of a dry land, all the animals had empty bellies. In the land stood an amazing tree with ripe and juicy fruits. But as hard as the animals shook the tree, the fruits did not fall. The animals plan to ask Tortoise how to get the fruits. But they think only big animals can handle the responsibility of sending the question to Tortoise. So they send Elephant and Water Buffalo, then Rhino, Giraffe and Zebra, then Lion and Leopard. The reader will learn that size doesn't matter.
