Mansa Musa Builds a School

In this story, Mansa Musa, who is very wealthy, realises that his riches no longer make him happy - he wants to help people, but he doesn’t know how. So, he embarks on a mission to help others and soon discovers that many of his people struggle with reading and writing. As a result, he decides to build a school to teach others to read, write and count. The school soon becomes the best in the land, and helping others pleases Mansa Musa greatly.
