Ingawa tulihudhuria mafunzo hayo, wengine wetu hawakuyathamini vile kwani yalitunyima fursa ya kucheza michezo tuliyoipenda.
Siku moja nyanya aliyependa kutusimulia kwa mafunzo yake alikuwa ndio mwanzoa ameanza tu kutufundisha. Mkononi alikuwa na kigozi cha sungura alichokitumia kama wenzo wa kutufundishia jinsi ya kutunga vazi la kujisetiri, Sote tulimpa masikio na macho ingawa shingo upande.
Mara pakatokea Ibra! Kulianguka kutoka juu mtini tulipoketi hadi kwenye kile kigozi. Kilitambaa taratibu na kuja nilipokuwa kikapanda juu ya mkono wangu wa kushoto kabla ya kuteremka na kuyoyomea gizani. Nilishindwa kujisongeza wala kujitikisa. Niliogopa upeo wa kuogopa maana huyo alikuwa nyoka mwenye sumu hatari sana. Wenzangu nao pia walizimika ardhini wasijisongeze. Nyanya alijuzuia kusonga wala kufanya lolote. Nadhani aliogopa kutushtua au hata kumshtua huyo nyoka.
Ni kwenye hali hii nyoka huyo alipotokomea, alikojitendea ndipo kila mtu aliponijia kwa shangwe. na vifijo. Wote waliniambia kuwa kutokana na jinsi nilivyoonyesha ujasiri wakati wa hatari hiyo, basi nilihitimu kuwa kiongozi wao. Yakini, chanda chema huvikwa pete.
Mara moja nikatengenezewa vazi la ngozi, tena ngozi ya mbuzi na kutawazwa papo hapo kuchukua hatamu za uongozi. Wote wakaahidi kutii amri kwani akikalia kigoda mtii. Wajukuu wangu je mmejifunza funzo lipi kutokana na kisa changu?"

Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha uyajibu maswali 41 - 50
Nilikuwa mpigabuku wa skuli ya Wema, mwaka jana. Sikuwa na shaka kuibuka galacha katika mtihani wa kitaifa. Nilielewa lazima ja ibada nijifunge kibwebwe na kuuzika uzembe kwenye kaburi la sahau ili niupasi mtihani wa kitaifa. Aku zote ningerauka alfajiri na mapema na kuyabwaga mabuku mezani. Ningejipinda mgongo shabiku upinde na kuvivamia va bin vuu ya nsige gundani la mihogo. Yakini niliuma vitabu we! Kisa na maana sikuwa na namna nyingine ya kuinusuru mbari yangu iliyolemazwa na uchochole si haba. Joho la bidii lilisalia kuwa mwandani wangu.
Taabu na madhila ya baba wa kambo hayakunizuia hata chembe kutia bidii. Vioja vyake kila jioni vilinipa maudhui na vidokezo vya insha ya kila nui kesho yake. Hata kama kuna siku mama alifurushwa akapata hifadhi kwa jirani, mie sikukosa kuzimaliza gange za ziada za walimu. Wakufuu wetu nao walijitolea kwa vyovyote vile kuhakakikisha tunaelewa vyema. Ukweli walijaribu juu chini kufanikisha ndoto zetu. Hakika tenda wema nenda zako Mola atakulipa Wakufuu wa masomo ya sayasi na hisabati walirauka mapema kabla umande kukaushwa na miale ya asubuhi. Walituelezea hadi tukaelewa dhahiri shahiri. Mola daima twamwomba hasa bwana Manywele aliyejinyima hata kishuka kutupa mazoezi ya Sayansi ampe fadhila
Mtihani wa kitaifa ulipowadia hatukuwa na wasiwasi wala kihoro cha nja maji kwani yote tuliyofunzwa yalikuwa tamulini. Tulidurusu hadi misamiati, surufu na fomula zikatuzoea. Kila mmoja wa watahiniwa hasa mimi tulikuwa ngangari kukabiliana na mitego yote ya mtahini. Lo! Siku moja kabla, hofu iliniteka nyara, nikapumbaa na kukosa la kufanya. Mlilikuwa mkikimkiki na mkukumkuku kuwa halambe halambe. Utulivu uliokuwepo ulipasuliwa na vifijo na vifoli. Mkufuu mkuu akaturaushia kadi ya heri njema. Mwalimu majitamu naye akatupa nasaa na wosia wa kutokuwa na woga. Alisema mtihani ni mtihani hivyo basi hakukuwa na haja ya kuwa na mishemishe wali jekejeke la woga.
Asubuhi na mapema tukafika na kuwasili skulini. Tuliukalia ule wa Hisabati siku ya Mosi. Somo la sayansi saa nane huku insha tukiandika mwendo wa alasiri. Jua lilivibusu vilele vya milima nalo giza la kanika kuanza kubisha hodi. Siku ya pili tulianzia na somo la Mapishi pamwe na Kiswahili mwendo wa saa tano. Saa nane nilimalizia na Insha ya methali "Mchuma janga hula na wa kwao."
uliukalia ule wa somo la Kiingereza na kutamatisha elimu ya skuli za msingi. Ilibidi sasa tuwe wavumilivu na punda bila wasiwasi wala shaka. Kwa hamu na hamumu tuliyasubiri matokeo.
Hayawi hayawi huwa. Bidii na juhudi zetu mazao yake yangejulikana na pesa siku hiyo ya alhamisi mwezi Januari. Nakumbuka fika nilivyobumburushwa na kugutushwa na sauti ya redio. "Waziri wa elimu Bw. Matiang'i atayasoma matokeo mwendo wa saa tatu za alfajiri". Waja wa aila ya Joshua walijaa na kujazana pale kiamboni petu. Kama ilivyo mila na desturi, kwamba ufanisi ni wa kila mwanajamii. Yakini kwao, si kwa mchuma janga kula na wa kwao. Mwia usio na chupa kuoza vituo vyote runinga vilihinikiza hewani matangazo ya moja kwa moja.
Jina la mtaluniwa bora nchini likatajwa "Bora mufti ndiye shiyaa wa mwaka huu." Picha ikaonyeshwa nayo haikuwa ya mwingine bali mie mwana wa mzee Mufti. Shangwe na vigelegele vya heri njema na heko vilihinikiza hewani. Uwanja wetu muda si muda ulijazana na kujaa hadi na nusura kuwatapika wengine. Vimulimuli vya kamera nusura viunde jua. Kila mmoja alisheheni furaha ya ufanisi wangu. Kijiji chetu ambacho hakikutambulika sasa kikijulikana nchini. Ndoto yangu ya kuwa mhazigi ikiwa si ya alinacha. Shukrani tumbi za kumsifu Maulana zikihinikiza hewani.
