Meet a crocodile, a snake, and an ant who would do "anything" for some kola nuts.

Meet a demanding chief who seeks a worthy husband for his beautiful daughter.

Now meet Koi, a worthy young man who just "happens" to have inherited a seemingly useless kola nut tree, and has just set out in search of adventure and romance.

Could Koi's kola nut tree possibly bring good to others? And could this good possibly come back to him in full measure? Read this delightfully spirited tale by the premier reteller of African folktales for children, illustrated with Joe Cepeda's boisterous paintings, to find out!
