Unanana and the Elephant — East & Southern Africa (Lesser-Known) | Bedtime World Tour
Season Two opens in the hill country of southern Africa. Tonight we travel to a woman who built her house in the middle of the animals' road and would not be talked out of it — and to the enormous one-tusked elephant who came down that road one afternoon and swallowed her two children whole. Unanana cooks a pot of porridge, picks up a small sharp knife, and walks after him. What she finds inside the elephant is not a stomach at all, but a dim grey country full of people who had stopped expecting anyone to come.
