The narrative begins by explaining that in ancient times, animals lacked legs and all crawled, with only humans possessing legs given by Maguru. Maguru decides to bestow legs upon all animals to enable them to walk, a prospect the animals eagerly anticipate, singing and dancing with joy at the thought of standing upright like humans and escaping the pain of crawling. On the designated day, a multitude of animals, including giraffes, lions, elephants, rabbits, crocodiles, and birds, gather expectantly at Maguru's residence, awaiting their new limbs. This publication aims to promote literacy and cultural representation through accessible African stories.","Maguru Gives Legs  \nEnglish  \nMaguru Gives Legs  \nAuthor: Mutugi Kamundi  \nIllustrator: Wiehan de Jager  \n[Source: www.africanstorybook.org](Source: www.africanstorybook.org)  \nImages by Wiehan de Jager, © 2015 African Storybook Initiative.
