Jala's resilience in the face of adversity is the heart of this inspiring African folktale. When Jala's mother passed away, her father remarried, bringing a stepmother who favored her own daughter, Ki, over Jala. Jala's stepmother sent her to a poorly managed school while showering Ki with privileges, but Jala's determination never wavered. Despite harsh treatment and forbidden from applying for a life-changing scholarship, Jala secretly prepared for the competition. With help from a kind math teacher, she entered the exam against her stepmother's orders, and won the scholarship to one of the country's most prestigious schools.

Years later, after excelling academically, Jala faced another moral dilemma when her ailing stepmother needed help. Remembering her mother’s wisdom about kindness and forgiveness, Jala chose to care for her stepmother, proving her strength of character. Jala eventually became a university professor, embodying a success story born from perseverance and kindness, despite the challenges imposed by her stepmother.
