That night, the ancient mahogany tree in Kip's village is felled by lightning, crushing a house. Kip helps to rescue a villager trapped inside but shuns the celebrations. He accepts the tree's trunk as a gift. Kip, guided by an unseen hand, carves the heavy wood into the shape of a woman. It comes alive and calls herself Ekundu. Kip tries to hide her from the curious villagers, but she can't resist exploring. After all, she's got feet now. She makes friends easily, even Kip's grumpy donkey takes a shine to her. When a desperate warlord Mzungu returns to the village, Ekundu gives herself up in exchange for him taking the last of the children. Crestfallen, Kip pleads with the Elders to mount a rescue, but they refuse. Kip trades his wife's pendant to hire an assassin, but they fail. Kip travels to the Mzungu's fort, followed by his donkey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Merlin Goldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1916064663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916064669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Magnetical\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.27d","brand":"Merlin Goldman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123143012607,"sku":"9781916064669","price":11.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0015a983-8fef-4852-bdb9-44c4cfec778f.jpg?v=1687429173","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-carpenter-and-the-goat-merlin-goldman-9781916064669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
