Pinduli, the hyena, comes across many neighboring animals by her watering hole. The all poke fun at her appearance and cause her to try and make changes to herself. After covering herself in dust and dirt, she is mistaken for a ghost. Capturing the spirit of a Dicken's novel, she asks these insulting animals why they picked on her. They confess that they were picked on by others and redirected their anger on her. She tells them if they sort things out with their offenders, then she will not return. It turns out they were insulted as well, and that there is definitely a chain reaction on one person doing something mean to another which leads to another.
This book could be paired with the Good Deeds book I posted a few days ago. One focuses on the power of paying it forward, the other on a negative chain reaction. Good lesson in owning up tp your mistakes and how not to take out frustrations on an unsuspecting person when you could talk it through with the problem maker.
