There was a girl called Noma was living with her mother Nombulelo. Nombulelo told Noma to go with her friends and fetch firewood.
Nombulelo: "Noma I am going to town and you have to go with your friends to the forest, okay?"
Noma: "Okay ma"
Noma met with her friends near the forest.
Zintle: "Guys let's go now before it gets late I am afraid of Zim-Zim"

Later Noma went to the forest alone and made lot of sound trying to see if Zim-Zim can hear her, unfortunately they did and were very furious because they hate noise and Noma started to be very scared and she was caught by Zim-Zim.
Noma was crying asking for help and Zim-Zim did not care at all they took her to their home and she was chained and told to not ever run or else she will be eaten for supper and she nodded. Zim-Zim argued about they should kill her.
Other said " no we should wait till the next day,for sure her parents are looking for her" they end up agreeing on waiting for the next day. And Noma was praying for saviour but no one can hear her even if she cries loud for help.
On the other side young boys were looking for her but they didn't find her they went back home with sad news and Noma's mother was very hurt and praying that her daughter to come back home.
On the next day Noma was unchained and the Zim-Zim were happy preparing her for supper and then Noma tried to run and fortunately she made it and she met young boys Lazo and Jabu who helped her to go back home.
