English Summary/英文概要: Abaani, a Maasai boy, is surprised to see a Kikuyu boy, Haki, tending a new fruit and vegetable stall alongside the road when he takes his family’s cattle out to graze. Knowing of the traditional conflicts between the Maasai and the Kikuyu, the two take an immediate dislike to one another.
Suddenly, as customers surround Haki’s stall, a dangerous situation suddenly arises. The two act together to remove a child from harm’s way. Little to the boys know that they have also taken the first step in overcoming their differences and forging a path to friendship.
FIRST COME THE ZEBRA looks beyond current conflicts toward the hope for peaceful coexistence. This appealing story is an encouraging tribute to the potential of today’s youth to make a difference in the world.
