Elephant and Hare in front of Chief Mungambe and the village court.

       The court's decision was easy. The animals told Elephant: "You are just jealous because Hare has such a lovely garden."
       
       So Njovu lost his garden. Sungura's cleverness enabled him to avoid justice, and Zingawetse got bananas and the ants maize as payment for their part in the deception. This tale teaches a vital life lesson. Hare may be dishonest, but he is a cunning criminal and a good organizer. He also has friends in the right places. Thus he makes his point in court and wins his case, even though he is in the wrong. A wise judge must learn all the facts, question all evidence, and be able to judge character, lest justice be deceived.
       
       Hare, Lion, and Hyena
       
       One day Lion killed a wildebeest, but it gored him before it died. Lion was left with an ugly gash in his belly. He was badly wounded and could hardly move. Many visitors came to pay him their respects, including the ant, the termite, the vulture, the crow, and the jackal. Many others came, including Sungura the hare. Pushing to the foreground, he addressed Lion: "I will keep house for you while you are ill. I will cook for you and clean the place!"
