The Elephant, the Wildebeest, and the Broken Path (part of an African Fable Series) In the golden plains of the Serengeti during the migration season, a young wildebeest named Nuru challenges the wisdom of Tembo, an old and revered elephant. Eager for speed and impatient with tradition, Nuru leads others down a dangerous shortcut — the broken path. As the journey unfolds, the animals and a nearby Maasai village must rediscover the value of memory, patience, and ancestral wisdom. Richly illustrated and deeply rooted in African storytelling, this fable gently reminds readers that the fastest path is not always the right one. A timeless tale for children and adults alike, this story celebrates the importance of listening to elders and honoring the paths they’ve walked before us. Moral: The old may walk slowly, but are wise and always know the way.
