In their home in Nigeria, Sunday and her young brother, Little Lion, listen eagerly to their wise old grandfather, Baba, tell them stories. Each story speaks to them about some situation which they face in daily life.

• The rat-catcher's son is beaten by his father for letting a rat escape. Will the son ever be loved by his father?
• The poor woodchopper saves his pennies for years to buy his bride and give her all that she wants. Does his happiness last?
• Abu is such a mean lady - no one in her village likes her. One day she wants to change her ways. Will she be able to?

These and Baba's other stories will help you, too, discover lessons which the wise grandfather wants his grandchildren to learn.
