Well, well, little fox, growled Tikoloshe, after eating all those beetles, you must be nice and fat. Now I'm really going to eat you up.
Three naughty bat-eared fox cubs disobey their mother and, as a consequence, are threatened by an ugly, fierce and vengeful mythical creature whom indigenous South African people refer to as Tikoloshe. Through the ingenuity of the little fox cub and the bravery of the biggest fox cub they ultimately vanquish the Tikoloshe and are forgiven by their mother.
