Makongo plot

Two Aka pygmies from the Central African Republic sell roasted caterpillars in the big city, using the proceeds to improve education in their community. They know exactly where and when to catch the furry beasts and can live well off what nature has to offer. However, these knowledge and skills are of little use in the concrete jungle, where they walk around as overwhelmed and uneasy as city dwellers would in the jungle.
