Storyboard Text
- Kindness Is Beautiful
- The king disguised himself as a snake so he could see what Nyasha and Manyara were like when no one was around. He saw that Nyasha was kind and generous to everyone, even garden snakes! He also saw how cruel Manyara was when she thought no one could hear her. Although both sisters were beautiful on the outside, Nyasha's kindness was what made her beautiful all around.
