PEMBA MUHORI

There was once upon a time a man and his wife, and the wife gave birth

to seven sons, and the seventh was called Hapendeki, and he was the

last.

And these sons grew and grew till one day the youngest, Hapendeki, said

to his father and mother, "What goal is there in life for a man?" and

they answered, "The goal in life for a man is to find a nice woman and

marry her and rest in peace."

So he said, "If that indeed be the aim of man you must look for a wife

for me."

And they said to him, "You are too young, you will not be able to manage

a wife."
