Explanation:

The African story of "Nsue and the Honeyguide" retold by Sharon Howard revolves around the character of Nsue who wants to change his childhood name but wasn't brave enough to fulfill the requirement to get the right to do that. As the need to kill an animal to be considered brave and even give him the chance to change his name, he is also faced with the dilemma of hurting animals that he obviously couldn't hurt.

Confident of getting at least one thing to contribute to the "Dance of the New Moon" festival, he heard a honeyguide, "a bird who seeks out other creatures to invade the combs of honeybees". And in this manner, he was able to get a huge scoop of honey and give in as his contribution to the festival despite being covered with "bee stings". It was this brave act of stealing the honey despite the dangerous risk of getting stung by the bees, that led to his change of name from "Nsue" to "Ratel, the fierce and clever honey badger".

Thus, the main theme of the story is that bravery comes in many different forms and not just through the deemed necessity of hunting, as is considered in the story.
