White-White is a story about an African shepherd of sheep. He loved all his sheep, but especially one little white lamb. This lamb wanders off and gets lost. The shepherd goes out into a storm to look for it. He searches the mountain for the lost lamb. With lightning striking all around, the shepherd finds and rescues the lamb from a deep hole. The lightning strikes and kills the man. But his body protects the lamb. When the village men find his body they discover that the lamb is still alive and well.
