“Robby the zebra would sit by an ostrich egg all day if he could, just in case it hatches. He’d get on well with any child counting the days to a birthday.”
A young zebra's favourite egg has a name: Dona.
Once Upon a Time in Africa is a gentle animal story about a young zebra and the ostrich egg he longs to see hatch.
Robby the young zebra comes running to the ostrich nest to play with Dona. He named the largest egg himself, and it is his favourite. He may play, he is told, as long as he remembers it is an egg, not a ball. So Robby spends hours by the nest, waiting for a chick to come out.
