Mole challenges his mother
One of those sunny days in the Savanah, a Purple Breast Roller hears the Mole saying to his Mother: "I am sure that I can see, Mother!”. The Purple Breast Roller stays perched in the branck to listen carefully how this challenge would continue. -
Mother put Mole to the test
Mother, being a true mother, knew what was the reality: Mole is blind. She decided it was time to show to Mole that he was wrong, but in a kinder way than just telling him "I told you so!".
Mother chatted with Lady Warthog, who listen carefully and approved the plan, agreeing that it would take place the following day. -
Mole fails the test
His Mother placed before him a few grains of frankincense, and asked, “What is it?” The young Mole said, “It is a pebble.”
Mother exclaimed: “My son, I am afraid that you are not only blind, but that you have lost your sense of smell.”
And this is how the Wilderbeast remembers the story. -
Mole's decision
It took Mole about 24 hours to take the decision to live happy ever after, knowing his own weakness and appreciating his own creativity.
