Synopsis

On the African savannah, giraffes and rhinos feast on the acacia bushes' leaves, their favourite treat. As the giraffes overindulge, the acacias become bare. To survive, the bushes develop sharp thorns and attract ants that nest within them. The wind whistles through these thorny homes, creating a melody of a thousand flutes. This tale highlights nature's delicate balance and the ingenious adaptations of plants and animals.
