Both of Mufaro’s daughters are beautiful, but one is bad-tempered, and one is kind. When the King of the land asks the daughters to appear before him so he can choose a queen, the prideful, bad-tempered Manyara decides to set out in the night so she can get there first. Along the path are many opportunities to show one’s true character. The kind and thoughtful Nyasha, who follows the same path the next day, makes different decisions – with different results and a surprising ending! Originating in Zimbabwe Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters is a wonderful tale about the importance of kindness and treating others with empathy.
