   This story tells an African folktale of selfishness and kindness, wickedness and integrity, loss and gain. An African villager by the name of Mufaro has two beautiful daughters, Manyara and Nyasha. Manyara is the selfish daughter who is very jealous of her sister. Nyasha, on the other hand, is the kind, caring, considerate daughter. The King of the City decrees that he will choose a queen from the "most worthy and beautiful daughters in the Land." Because both daughters are very beautiful, Mufaro decides that both daughters should appear before the King. Manyara and Nyasha must endure a variety of tests to prove their character and demonstrate to the King who is worthy of becoming his Queen. This tale is set in Zimbabwe.
