(3) K-3 A father declares that the man whose arrow pierces the trunk of the ebony tree will win his daughter's hand in marriage. Many try and fail, but a hunter enlists the help of three animal friends and proves his strength and, more important to the girl, his wisdom. The mixed-media illustrations set this story from the Zarma people in the West African countryside. An endnote provides details about sources and the region.
