Lamina is sent to the stream to wash the dishes and Mama Kaday’s favourite calabash slips away on the water. When he finds it again there is a black metal box inside, and the question of what to do with it turns a simple errand into a test of honesty. A short illustrated story for readers aged 6 to 9, with a lesson that arrives without a lecture.
