Illustrated by
Claudia Shepard.
Despite their mother's directives not to leave the village, Ade and Tayo cannot resist the lure of a nearby lake and its berry plants, but they soon find themselves cornered by a big water snake. Working together, the boys successfully outwit the snake, but not their mothers. This suspenseful short adventure, set in the Nigerian rainforest, is illustrated with boldly hued watercolors.
