As they travel the different aspects of nature, from the moon and stars and the grass to the rain, trees, sunflowers, bees and sea, they meet lots of people in other countries suffering because they have big debts with rich countries. They share their resources with the children and do their best to help – in return that the girls don’t forget to mention them when they meet the rich king. At the same time, not everyone they meet is their friend – some are actually uBubi’s workers who initially overhear a conversation the girls are having about their plans while traveling. They tell uBubi and he does everything in his power to prevent them getting to the sea – because once they get there they will cross over to where uNaAnna is. He hates her and is the reason why she had to leave Africa in the first place. He thought he had got rid of her for good and now these children are trying to bring her back! “No way” – he’s not going to allow that to happen. If she comes back, she will heal people using nature and share her wisdom with others and they will get rid of him and destroy him. So he does everything in his power to prevent them getting to their destination.
Eventually with nature’s help, assistance from people they meet on the way, and their father’s railways friends from other countries, they get to the sea and narrowly escape the clutches of uBubi. They make it to the other side and their contact with nature once again helps them find uNaAnna. She doesn’t recognize them but they have brought their mother and father’s picture and when she sees this, she begins to weep and welcomes them. After a period of looking after their physical needs, they start catching up and tell her the bad news about what has happened. She is very sad but she knows what to do at once.
She is the maid at the king’s house and goes and asks for his help. He gives her important papers, he has signed with his friends, some money and cancels some of the debts owed by their country. They agree about the length of time she wants to be away and he sends them off with his protection. Of course, we have not seen the end of uBubi who knows his days are numbered and puts up a good fight to steal the papers from the king and kill the girls and uNaAnna. The final battle happens as they endeavour to set their father free. They win and manage to send uBubi back under the earth where his anger explodes and he erupts into a volcano before turning into a harmless mountain. The girls are reunited with their father and they go back home where his name is cleared.
UNaAnna heals mama using leaves from the guavalala tree and the family is happy again. Baba decides not to go back to his job, although his name is cleared and the gold found. Meanwhile, uNa Anna starts talking to people in the neighbourhood and people she meets – helping them with her wise words. Nature is happy again and the papers from the rich king are sent to the king of the girl’s country. Life improves and the girls are able to go back to school and Aunt Maggie is reunited with her family. After a while, uNaAnna goes back to the rich king’s country where she is a maid because she has lots of friends there and misses them. Everything ends happily ever after.
By telling this story, supporting the Global Call to Action Against Poverty, and doing all I can to address MDGs in my personal capacity in my community, I hope to make a difference.
