Kuba Visits Skyland

Once upon a time, in the Animal Kingdom, there lived a Tortoise named Kuba. Kuba was intelligent and cunning. He always came up with tricks to compete with other bigger, stronger, and faster animals because he was small and slow. The seasons changed, bringing about drought in the Animal Kingdom. With very little food remaining, The Animals had a meeting. The birds, lion, giraffe, elephant, hippos, and Kuba were present for the meeting. At the meeting, the birds told everyone about an island in the sky with a lot of food called "Skyland." When Kuba heard this, he had a great idea and said to everyone, "we should visit Skyland and ask them to give us some food that will sustain us through this drought period?". All the animals agreed to Kuba’s idea. Kuba had another idea. "A land animal who is small and wise should travel with the birds as an Ambassador of the Animal Kingdom to Skyland." The Animals all agreed and chose Kuba to be their Ambassador to Skyland. Kuba traveled with five birds. Before the trip, all five birds gave Kuba 2 feathers each to help him fly. Kuba went up the hill and tried to fly; he struggled at first but flapped his wings and flew away. The five Birds joined him; they waved goodbye to the animals before heading to Skyland. On their way to Skyland, Kuba had a third idea. "All the animals traveling should have a name to say to the Residents of Skyland. This will be how we get addressed by them when they talk to everyone". The five birds agreed and came up with individual names (Paul, Peter, Parker, Tony, and John). Kuba came up with a unique name called "All-of-You." The birds were confused but accepted Kuba's name.
