One day, Zenzele asked Manzandaba to go out and find stories, and she agreed. Manzandaba decided to ask every animal she passed if they knew any stories. The first animal Manzandaba met was the hare, but he didn't have any stories. The next animal was the baboon. “Baboon!” she called. “Do you have any stories that I could take back to my people?” The baboon laughed. "I have no time for stories!" Next, she came upon the elephant. “Oh, kind elephant,” she asked, “Do you know where I might find some stories?” I don't know any stories,” he said, “but why don't you ask the eagle?”
