Summary: The three stories in the collection look at how behaviour affects character in different circumstances. In How Turtle Came to Live in the Sea, Tortoise is wrongly accused of causing drought. Fellow animals decide to bury him alive, but instead of dying he digs his way down until he reaches the sea and changes into a Turtle. In Why Slug Likes it Cool, Slug chooses to be lazy and cunning instead of serving her mistress, the Sun. Her lies about being sick are discovered and she has to hide from the Sun. In Toto Punda, the young donkey tries to paint herself as a Zebra. She is almost discovered by King Lion and has to return to her mother in the farm where she grew up.
