Esuuk, the Zebra loved solving problems.

One day, Ataisi the Elephant said, "Esuuk, crossing the river is too hard for me! I don't want to cross it anymore."

Zuri had a great idea.

"Let's design a bridge!"

She gathered her friends: Fubi the Tortoise, Boma the Baboon, and Firi the Frog.

"First, we need to plan!" Esuuk said.

Esuuk asked, "What kind of bridge do we need?"

Ataisi replied, "It must be strong!"

Firi added, "It should not be slippery."

Esuuk drew a picture of the bridge. "Does this work?" She asked.

"It's a good start, but add handrails," said Fubi.

They used sticks, leaves, and mud to build the bridge.

Boma tested it first. "It is strong, but it's bumpy!"

Esuuk smoothed the path, and Ataisi tried it next.

"This is perfect!" He said, crossing happily.

"We did it!" Esuuk cheered.

"Solving problems is about asking, testing, and fixing. Together we can fix anything."
