Banku, the bee talks to Lily, the hen. "Hey Lily, do you know that we are very much special and great?". Snowie, the sheep and Delulu, the cow are listening.

1

"Ha ha ha haaa!" laughs Delulu. "What do you mean Banku?". "You and greatness?"

2

"Oh yes, I am great, I can produce honey for humans and they love it" Banku replies.

3

Lily speaks too, "I can produce eggs and meat for humans."

4

Snowie hesitates to speak, "Uhm, I, I..." then Delulu takes the moment and speak. "Oh I hear you all but I can produce milk, meat and traditional clothes for humans". "I mean I am great and special because I produce more things than all of you", says Delulu.

5

Lily sees that Snowie and Banku are sad. Then she tries to comfort them. "Do not listen to him. We are all special in our own way". She goes on. "Delulu, please stop what you are doing! No one will feel small because of you."

6

Delulu looks at Banku and Snowie's faces and starts to feel bad. "I am sorry. It is true we are special in our own ways" she keeps quiet before continuing. "We are all equal, friends."
