The Little Lost Bantha Cub

The Little Lost Bantha Cub is a children's story favored by Jaina and Jacen Solo.

After the sandstorm that drove him from home, the little lost bantha cub wandered alone.

So he walked, and he walked through the desert heat till noon, when he found a Jawa sandcrawler upon a sandy dune.

 'I am lost,' said the bantha cub, 'please help me find my herd,' but the little Jawas shook their heads and gave their final word.

''So he walked, and he walked till he met a shiny droid. After by himself so long the cub was overjoyed''.

 'I am lost,' said the banha cub, 'please help me find my herd.' 'I am not programmed to help you,' said the droid, 'Don't be absurd' .

The droid kept walking straight ahead, not looking left or right; the bantha cub just watched until the droid went out of sight.

The cub's adventures continue with an encounter with a moisture farmer and a Krayt dragon.

'' 'I will eat you,' purred the dragon, then he lunged with snapping jaws! So the bantha cub ran without the slightest pause.''

The cub then finds a tribe of Sand People who reunite him with his parents and his herd.
