Description

A lively African folktale about a complaining tree getting its comeuppance.
Long ago, the gods created the Baobab tree... and the Baobab tree was not happy. It didn't like the weather, it resented the birds and animals and envied the other trees. Finally the gods tired of its constant complaints and took drastic action. With fun activities after the story, and online audio in both British English and American English. CEFR level: low A1. 524 words.
