The
Story
Nyuki finds herself separated from the
swarm and lost in the wild. There are thrills aplenty as our heroine faces
a gauntlet of cleverly camouflaged carnivores in her topsy-turvy quest
to get back to her sisters. Will she make it? Never fear! Just as things
look their worst for Nyuki, salvation comes rolling in on a dung ball!
