Konyek loves every animal of his father's herd, but November Cloud is his favorite, and he hopes that his father will somehow give him the calf. Konyek is also well-liked by his tribe's elders popular among the kids of his age range, but his popularity has earned him his cousin Parmet's jealousy and hatred.One day, Konyek and Parmet are minding their families' herd when they are attacked by cattle raiders. Parmet quickly hides between the bushes and watches how Konyek is brought to the ground by a spear and their tribe's cattle is stolen; instead of helping his cousin, Parmet leaves him for dead, goes back to his hamlet and invents a story about Konyek getting scared and fleeing cowardly with November Cloud.Meanwhile, Konyek is found and nursed back to health by a hunter of the Dororo tribe whom he previously befriended. After recovering, Konyek learns that his cousin left him to die and has calumniated him before their tribe. He is also told that his tribe has already gotten most of his cattle back, except for November Cloud, who nobody has bothered to track down because they believe that Konyek took her.Determined to find his beloved calf, Konyek sets out on a dangerous journey to pursue the cattle thieves and rescue November Calf on his own. But even if he manages get the calf back and make it back to his hamlet alive, he still must clear his name. | |

Retired Badass: Konyek's grandfather is nowadays content to sit back, rule his tribe and judge their affairs peacefully, but he used to be called Ol-Poruo of the Unconquered Shield in his youth when he was a warrior whose bravery, wisdom and might were renowned throughout the land. | |

Artistic License – Biology: Leng-aina and Yoyo are one couple of elephants who are living on their own while the latter is in the last days of her pregnancy. Elephants don't form stable couples, but they live in herds comprised of several adult cows, their daughters and young sons, who abandon the herd when they reach maturity and generally live alone or form all-male groups. | |

Androcles' Lion: Konyek befriends a family of elephants while he is living in the Hill of Good Refuge. When Konyek returns to his hamlet and denounces his cousin Parmet for leaving him for dead, their tribe's elders are inclined to believe Parmet's lies over Konyek's claims. Before he can be punished, though, Konyek's elephant friends show up, his Dorobo friend on his trail. Seeing Konyek interacting with the elephants, the tribe comes to believe he was indeed living with them, and the Dorobo hunter further confirms Konyek's story. | |

Circling Vultures: As exploring a hill, Konyek notices a flock of vultures flying in circles not far from his position, and guesses there has been a kill. Konyek rushes towards the place and comes upon an eland antelope's corpse. The boy quickly cuts strips of the eland's hide and walks away as a pack of hyenas claim the carrion and a flock of vultures "wheeled, and circled, and waited". | |

Go Through Me: Konyek has taken his father's cattle to a waterhole when he realizes that they are being stalked by a lion. Even though he is completely terrified, the young Masai steps between the approaching lion and November Cloud to protect his favorite calf. As the lion keeps approaching, Konyek resorts to run towards the giant feline, screaming and waving his stick in an attempt to scare it off. Fortunately, a hunter's arrival saves Konyek from becoming lion munch. | |

Made Out to Be a Jerkass: Konyek and his cousin Parmet are taking their families' cattle to graze when they are attacked by cattle thieves, who spear Konyek and steal all their livestock as Parmet runs off and hides in the bushes. Happy to see his hated cousin bleeding to death, Parmet leaves Konyek for dead and returns to his hamlet, whereupon he tells his tribe he valiantly tried to protect their cattle while Konyek ran away like a coward. | |

When he comes around, he finds himself in an improvised shelter built by a hunter friend of his, who has been nursing him back to health during several days after finding him lying unconscious on the ground. | |

Heinous Hyena: Hyenas are consistently depicted as scary and dangerous predators who will gleefully and hungrily jump on carrion, newborn calves and weak animals, but will turn tail and run the minute their intended prey proves that it is not completely defenseless. | |

The Storyteller: Konyek's old grandmother, who is also the tribe's matriarch, knows plenty legends about the birth of the Masai, myths about the origin of the world, tales about old heroes and ancient warriors...and is very fond of telling them to her tribe's kids, who are constantly asking her to tell them new stories or retell their favorite tales. | |

The Calf Of The November Cloud / int_4bef1d48 | comment |
Rebuilt Pedestal: The boys and girls of the age-group of the Big Ostrich Feathers idolized and admired Konyek because of his kindness, wisdom and bravery until Parmet told them his cousin ran away cowardly when a band of cattle raiders stole the livestock which Konyek was supposed to protect. Several months later Konyek returned to his hamlet, having gone through many dangerous hardships to retrieve his father's stolen calf, and declared that Parmet fled and intentionally left him for dead when he was attacked and wounded by the raiders. When a witness verifies his tale, the kids shame Parmet and go back to look up to Konyek. | |

The Farmer and the Viper: Konyek tells his family how he tried to protect their cattle from a lion, leaving Parmet's cowardly flight out since he doesn't wish his cousin be humiliated and mocked by their tribe, despite knowing that Parmet hates him. Even so, Parmet kept hating Konyek, and he abandoned his cousin the next time that Konyek was badly injured while protecting his livestock. | |

We Used to Be Friends: Konyek and his first cousin Parmet used to be like brothers, often playing in each other's hutch. However, Parmet started resenting and hating Konyek, because he had realized that he was their grandfather's favorite. Konyek had noticed Parmet had changed, becoming colder and more prideful, but he didn't imagine that his cousin hated him enough to want him dead. | |

Honorable Elephant | |

Honorable Elephant: As he and his November Cloud are fleeing from hostile, cattle-thieving warriors, Konyek comes upon one couple of elephants. Even though he knows that they could easily him and his calf, even without meaning to, Konyek is not frightened because he has seen how gently and carefully they treat their own babies. And, indeed, not only do the elephants help the kid and his calf survive a flood but they and their baby also help Konyek clear his name when his tribe has been tricked into thinking he stole the calf and ran away. Konyek called the female elephant Yoyo (Masai for mother) and the male Leng-aina (meaning both elephant and of the Long Arm). When their calf was born, Konyek also baptized it as Ol-Kulto (''caterpillar). | |

Cain and Abel: Konyek is hated by his cousin Parmet, who feels envious of the attention and praise that his cousin gets. Although he does not attempt to murder Konyek directly, when a rival tribe attacks and hurts his cousin, Parmet abandons him instead of helping him. | |

Good Samaritan: When young Masai Konyek is wounded by cattle raiders while he is leading his herd, he is abandoned by his cowardly cousin Parmet who expects to bleed to death on the ground. However, Konyek is found by a hunter of the Dorobo, a rival tribe, who builds a shelter for both, dresses his spear wound with medicinal herbs, and stays for his side until Konyek regains consciousness. | |

But Now I Must Go: After his name has been cleared thanks to his elephant friends, Konyek walks out of his hamlet to see them again. When he spots Konyek, baby elephant Ol-Kulto cheerfully rushes to greet him, but his family calls him back. As the elephants trudge back into the trees, Ol-Kulto stares back at Konyek for the last time and trots behind his family. Konyek feels deeply saddened, but he realizes that his friends must say goodbye to him. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: Konyek is wounded by a group of cattle riders while he is taking care of his father's herd, and left for dead for his traitorous cousin who slanders Konyek before their tribe. After recovering from his wounds, Konyek gets his favorite calf back from the thieves, survives in the wilderness together with the calf, makes it back to his hamlet, and confronts his cousin and his lies. After clearing his name, Konyek is given ownership of November Cloud in reward for his bravery. | |
