The Bushbaby

Jackie Leeds and her family's native friend and servant, Tembo Murumbi, chase a young galago about its preferred habitat, a baobab tree. She names the small bushbaby 'Komba' A year or so passes since this first encounter, and one day at church, Komba's playfulness causes commotion, disrupting the daily hymn. Jackie's suspicions are confirmed when her father explains that his employment as a game warden is likely to be terminated. They'll leave for London to fill an opening at the zoo.
