Twas All Because of a Nose: Tales from Far Away

In Twas All Because of a Nose, Vim Nzabi paints a vivid tale of five friends drawn together by their commitment to one another and to a common objective. As they begin what is generally recognized as a search for fame and fortune, everything seems to go their way. Obstacles are quickly surmounted because of their determination to work together as a team while maintaining the strong bond of their friendship.

Things, however, start to go downhill, when in the course of their journey they encounter situations that bring out a more individualized approach to problem-solving. What ultimately casts the five friends asunder is strangely enough, a runny nose. From that point on none obtain their goal, nor do any manage to make it back to their village. The story ends with a query that readers must resolve for themselves, a query as to how to build a better world where all retail their individuality while working for the common good.
