#uganda #cuckoo #famine

In the first story, we learn why the Hadada Ibis cries for its babies.

In the second, we learn about a man who forgets the most important part of a marriage.

In the third, we listen to a song about what is in the heart of men.

And in the final story, we learn why monkeys and elephants are such good friends.
