But one day, vain Kuku rips her favorite dress and begs Mwewe to let her borrow a needle that is also a family heirloom. Mwewe lends her friend the needle, trusting her to care for it like the cherished possession it is. But when Kuku carelessly loses the needle,Kuku and Mwewe's life-long friendship comes to a sad end. A wonderful fable inspired by an old Swahili legend, this story will teach children the importance of taking responsibility for their actions.
