Magic Cellar

When Marcus takes Pula's homework causing a frantic search, Mr. Zee calms the kids with a tale about a jealous Leopard who steals a baby calf from his neighbor, the Jackal. And a missing cricket ball and tale of a stolen crown teaches Marcus a lesson.

Pula is upset when Marcus and Josh borrow her clay animals without asking, so Mr. Zee provides perspective with a tale about an Eagle and a Jackal who betray their friend the Lion. And, the kids learn a lesson from a naughty Rabbit's fib to the Queen.

After spending her allowance on friends, Navitha learns wiser and more responsible choices from Mr. Zee's tale of Kimwaki who inherited a great fortune but neglected it. And, Maddie the hippo, teaches Pula she can enjoy the water even if she can't swim.

When a misunderstanding over a party invitation upsets the kids, Mr. Zee tells them a story about forgiveness between two trees and a young Springbuck. The unforgiving tree turns into a Thorn Tree. The kids also learn about a poor man who becomes King.

Josh is bullied at school and Mr Zee teaches the kids to handle a bully with teachers and parents as Meerkat learns the hard way after being bullied by the Elephant and the Hippo. And Lolo the Leopard shows the kids there's more than one way to have fun.

The kids made a special school project, but who will present it to the class? Mr. Zee's story about how the Animals chose a Leader reveals it's wiser to make a choice on values rather than chance. And a Princess story is a lesson about broken promises.

Pula and Marcus bake a cake for the others and learn a lesson from Zuzu the Zebra, Bonobo the Chimp and an ill-fated fig tree when they fight over an extra slice. And a case over missing marbles ends much like the tale of the Elephant's stolen beans.

Pula tricks her friends into doing her work for a school play and Mr. Zee's tale of "Jabu and the Lion" shows her breaking a promise makes it hard for people to believe you in the future. And a rumor teaches the kids and a Hippo about what to believe.

Marcus and Navitha argue over building either a clubhouse or a fort, and like the tale of Ostrich and the Jackal who can't decide how to share some new treats, everyone learns about compromise. And the kids and a Meerkat learn that everyone has talent.

Marcus has a bad day and hurts Josh's feelings, but lessons are learned in Mr. Zee's tale about Moji a spotted Genet whose friendly mocking gets her in trouble with her friends. And after feeling invincible, Pula learns that no one likes a braggart.

When Melissa doesn't make the soccer team, she's inspired by a tale of two sisters. When one sister's music brings rain, everyone learns to honor the talents we have rather than pine for those we don't. The kids learn there is no "I" in Team.

Pula wishes school would disappear, but lessons are learned from Mr. Zee's tale about Jackal and Rabbit, who wished 'Bush Camp' would disappear, and it did along with all their friends. And a mean trick about a Magic Tree reveals lessons in kindness.

Melissa has a fear of vaccinations, but Mr. Zee's tale of Vulture's fear of heights explains that courage is not A lack of fear but the control of fear. The kids along with Giraffe, Elephant and Vulture learn to support each other.
