This is the tale of Mufaro's two daughters, two beautiful girls who react in different ways to the king's search for a wife—one is aggressive and selfish, the other kind and dignified. The King takes on disguises to learn the true nature of both girls and of course chooses Nyasha, the kind and generous daughter, to be his Queen.
