SEVEN SPOOLS OF THREAD

 

BY ANGELA SHELF MEDEARIS- ILLUSTRATED BY DANIEL MINTER
PUBLISHED BY ALBERT WHITMAN & COMPANY

 

In an African village live seven brothers who make family life miserable with their constant fighting. When their father dies, he leaves an unusual will: by sundown the brothers must make gold out of seven spools of colored thread. If they fail, they will be left with no inheritance and turned out as beggars.
