Nomvundla the hare and Soko the monkey are buddies.
“Hurry, Soko! We don’t want to be late for the Chilli-Eating Contest,” says Nomvundla.
“Nomvundla, if you win, who will you take to the Hamba-Hamba Funfair?” asks Soko.
“That’s easy,” says Nomvundla. “I’ll take my best friend!”
“Hmm, I wonder who Nomvundla’s best friend is?”
Who do you think Nomvundla’s best friend is?
Nomvundla and Soko are the last to arrive.
“Soko, you go first,” says Nomvundla.
