The Chameleon Who Thought He Was Ugly
A tale about discovering one’s inner beauty.
A long, long time ago, lived a chameleon, who believed he was ugly. He could not bear his big eyes, short legs or little horns. When he hears of Sadio, the magician, he decides to seek her out. He reaches her after undertaking a long journey under the savannah’s burning sun and barely escaping a poisonous snake.
He will leave her his appearance unchanged but having learned to love and accept himself as he is.
