At the command of Awendadze the lion, the many animals of Ghana's Enapa Forest meet to discuss their need for special skin creams and lotions to maintain their beautiful skins and furs. When it is revealed that this will require everyone to sacrifice a piece of their own skin, Apatakura the chipmunk defies the order and slips away unnoticed. But he won't remain unnoticed forever - soon the stripes on his back will brand him forever as the Enapa Forest animal that learned some hard lessons about sacrifice, honesty and humility.
