Once upon a time, there was a young zebra in Africa. This zebra was different from the others as it had a white patch on its nose. The other zebras were a bit suspicious of it at first. One day, a group of lions attacked their herd. The young zebra with the white patch used its uniqueness to distract the lions. It ran in a different direction, leading the lions away while the rest of the herd escaped. This showed that being different can be an advantage.
In the African savannah, there was a family of warthogs. One of the baby warthogs was very small and weak. The family had to keep moving to find food and water.

All the zebras then made it safely across the river, and the young zebra seemed a bit more careful on their next crossings.
There's a story of the African elephant. An elephant calf gets separated from its herd during a storm. It wanders alone, frightened.

And they often live in large groups in the stories, and have to deal with issues like hierarchy and sharing resources within the group.
One common African animal attack story is about the Cape buffalo. These powerful beasts are known to be extremely dangerous when provoked.

Another one. The proverb 'The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.' There's a story where a farmer was always lazy and postponed planting new trees on his land. He thought there would be a better time in the future.

So, he finally started to plant trees right away, learning the lesson from the proverb.
