Set in North-eastern Nigeria, this tale tells of Kif and Kumba who were asked not to stop by pools or trees. Out of exhaustion, they ignored their grand-mother's advice and were saved by their horse, Ebony, from being bitten by a dangerous black snake. In the process of trying to bury the snake, they dug up the ten-thousand-year old Punaku Treasure. Trouble started when Kif and Kumba were kidnapped, and the treasure in stolen.
