There is an old woman who hates children. The children play mean tricks on her. One day the old woman catches them and warns them not to return. They do return. In the meantime, the old lady becomes blind and has to ask the children for help. The children agree and in exchange, she tells them a story ever day. The old lady learns to work, love and cherish people around her, regardless of their age. Based on a traditional South African folktale.
