Ebuka and Gambo are sent to do household tasks, but the way they meet an injured zebra changes their understanding of care and courage. A calm, injured voice reveals a threat to the zebra’s land, turning a simple errand into a moment of empathy, listening, and protective action.","Ebuka and the Elephants  \nGambo da Giwaye  \nEnglish, Hausa Story Book  \nCopyright © 2014, American University of Nigeria  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

I am only achild.” So when he 􀀠nished eating, he left his plate unclean and went out to play.  \nGambo ya yi tunanin cewa,“Su suka yi girkin, ya kamata su gyara wajen. Ni ɗan yaro ne kawai.” Bayan ya gama cin abincin, ya ƙiwanke kwanon, ya ta􀀟 wasa abunsa.  \nHis mother was angry and sent Ebuka to the bush to get 􀀠rewood.  \nMamarsa ta fusata sai ta aiki Gambo zuwadaji ya yiwo itace.  \n“Do not come home without a full bundle!”she said.  \nTa ce masa,“Kar ka yarda ka dawo gidan nanba tare da damin itace ba!”  \nEbuka was grumbling on his way to 􀀠nd wood when he met an injured zebra.  \nHe approached the zebra slowly to see what was wrong.  \nGambo yana kan hanyarsa zuwa neman itace sai ya haɗu da jakin dawa mai ciwo a ƙafa. Sai ya ƙaraso kusa don ya ga abin da ya same shi.  \nThe zebra did not run.  \nEbuka spoke to it softly and bent down to look at its injured leg.  \nThat is when Ebuka heard a voice say,“They are trying to take our land.”  \nStartled, Ebuka jumped back and started to run away.  \nJakin dawan bai gudu ba.  \nGambo ya yi masa magana a hankali sai ya durƙusa ƙasa ya ga ƙafarsa mai rauni.  \nA lokacin ne Gambo yaji wata murya ta ce,“Suna so su ƙwace mana 􀀟linmu.”  \nSai Gambo yajuya baya ya fara gudu.  \n“Don’t go,” said the voice, “it is only I, the peaceful zebra. I was trying to save my land, and they crushed my foot.”  \nEbuka turned around and saw that the voice was coming from the zebra.  \n“Kar ka ta􀀟,” in ji muryar,“ni kadai ne, natsattsen jakin dawa.
