(about 11 min) In a green hillside village in Ethiopia, little Abebe pushes away his new mom Almaz's warm bread and slams the door. The wise elder promises a medicine — if she brings him one whisker from a living lion. Night after night, Almaz sings softly and steps a little closer, until the lion trusts her. But the elder throws the whisker into the fire! Then, on a stormy night, Abebe runs off after his little goat, and the old lion shows Almaz where he is. She sings him the very same lullaby she sang to the lion — and at dawn, Abebe whispers "Mom…" for the very first time.
