When Basi got injured while creating hippo lanes, his son Beshte volunteered to take over the job. As the young hippopotamus began his new task, he was joined by several small animals, including Laini, a female wagtail, a male aardvark, and Chura. After Beshte proved his great strength by charging through an enormous boulder, the wagtail admitted that she was not sure whether or not Beshte could handle the feat. Chura was quick to defend Beshte, however, reminding the wagtail of his status as the strongest in the Pride Lands. Chura then told Beshte to ignore the wagtail's comments, saying that he was doing a "dandy" job.
Shortly afterward, Chura noticed that Beshte was traveling in the opposite direction of her destination. She asked Beshte to turn around, and he kindly obliged. Laini also requested that Beshte drop her off at Ndefu Grove, and he agreed. Once again, Chura reminded them all that since Beshte was the strongest animal in the Pride Lands, he would not mind. Beshte was humbled by this. Eventually, he delivered Chura to her destination, and she thanked him before hopping away.[1]

Chura followed Ma Tembo as she searched for water.[2]
