Tells the story of Punda, a narcissistic and arrogant white horse closely associated with Farasi, a brown-skinned and dilligent horse. After a sudden lion attack, Punda's arrogance leads her to King Anansi's palace, resulting in capture and mistreatment, causing her skin to blister and get injured. Farasi, hiding and concerned for his friend, infiltrates the palace, freeing Punda. The duo successfully escapes, but burdened by shame, Punda leaves the group and discovers an oasis, where she builds a new life with Dube. Over time, their descendants create the unique species known as "Bontsebra" recognized for black stripes, loud voices, and the habit of sleeping standing up.
