How Tortoise Won Respect (South Africa)

Programme Outline

 

Despite the tortoise's warning, some lazy, foolish, young animals break the rules by playing in a forbidden place. The giant Gongqongqo is woken, who could destroy everything in the animals' magic garden. Even the strongest animals are powerless, but the tiny tortoise uses her wits and some helpful bees to save the day.
