The Durbar festival in Katsina is here and everyone is excited to see the Emir leading a colourful procession on horseback. Hassan and Hussaina jump up and down when they see their brother riding behind the Emir.

Inspired by the festivities, the twins decide to organise a Durbar festival of their own. They do not have horses or colourful costumes but they have a clever plan. Soon, the twins are on their way to join in the fun.
