Rhino is gloomy. The gnus and the gazelles have beautiful horns, but his are short and stubby. Baboon tries to help by decorating the offending horns with fruit and flowers, but Rhino is not impressed. When he discovers the other animals think he is lucky because his horns are so strong, he learns to accept himself as he is. Strong pictures, set on the plains of Africa, add much to the subtlety of the message.
