Read the passage below and answer the questions 26 to 38.
The birds were singing merrily on the trees as the sun rose majestically in the eastern harizon. The lone hunter walked the beaten forest path. A bitter morning chill numbed his body. He knew the warmth of the sun would drive away the cold as the day progressed.

The hunter had come to inspect his traps this early. It was another market day and he prayed one of his traps might have trapped a game that he wished to barter meat with foodstuffs and everything else that would be of interest to him.

The day was growing old and the hunter was a bit disappointed. His traps had seemingly caught nothing. Yet in one trap, there were feathers and bones. An animal had managed to have eaten what appeared to be a big bird caught in it.

The fifth trap yielded something. There was a strange animal, the animal he had never seen before. It was struggling to free itself and the hunter quickly took an arrow from his quiver and fixed it to his bow. The animal realising the danger, gave a very loud cry begging for its life.

"Spare me and I will be of help to you," the animal said to the hunter. The surprised hunter regarded the animal and lowered his bow.
"How will you help me?" asked the hunter.
"I will help protect your life and also aid you in hunting, said the animal.

The hunter freed the trapped animal and was surprised to see it following him faithfully. Man and the animal walked together as the hunter went on inspecting his other traps. As the two walked, the animal stood alert and tensed near a bush, then gave out a very loud noise. "Bow, wowowo wow wow!

The hunter looked at the bush and saw some movements there. He quickly fixed his arrow to the bow. Immediately, a leopard jumped out of the bush. The hunter let the arrow fly and it struck the leopard in the heart and it fell before getting to the hunter. The hunter was pleased that his life had been saved by his new animal friend. The animal is now called the dog and is man's best friend.

Read the passage below and the answer the questions 39 to 50.
The well to do citizens owned land outside the city, and probably had trading interests too. There were a great many skilled craftsmen as well as labourers, who may have been either freemen or slaves.

In Athens, all freeborn citizens, rich or poor had a share in the government and vote in the election of their millitary commander. This gave them a feeling of service towards their city, so that it became quite common for a private citizen to pay for the fitting -out of a worship or for the training of the chorw in a play. He would do so simply for the good of his city.

Slavery was looked upon as a necessity to enable the freemen to pursue the arts of a civilized living. In Athens, there was a large class of slaves, from the clever craftsmen and scribes, who were well-trained and house-slaves who performed menial task, to the lowest class who toiled in chains in the quarries and silver mines.

As the house had no garden, the children played in the courtyard. Knuckle bones, ball, pick-a- back, tops and hoops were popular games. Girls did not go to school but boys were taken there by an old slave called a "pedagogue". He took them to the teacher, where they learned to read and write, to play a musical instrument and to say by heart passage from Homer.

At eighteen, an Athenian boy became a citizen and promised to defend his country and obey the laws. He spent a year or two in millitary training, and then if his family was well-to-do, he attended the academy for training in athletics, boxing, wrestling and chariot racing.

Naikumbuka siku hiyo vizuri kana kwamba ilikuwa ni jana au juzi tu. Kama kawaida, mama alikuwa ameenda cheteni kuuza mboga na matunda. Baba naye alikuwa ameandama shughuli zake za uashi katika jengo moja huko mjini. Ilikuwa kawaida yangu kubaki na mnuna wangu. Basi siku ile, ilivyokuwa ada, nilimlisha, nikamwosha na kumvika yale tuliyoita mavazi japo hayakusetiri viungo vyetu barabara. Hata hivyo mtaa wetu ulisheheni watoto kufu yetu, wengine hata hali zao za kiafya, mavazi na mtindo wa maisha kwa jumla zilikuwa mbaya zaidi.

Mabanda tuliyoita nyumbani yalisongamana sana. Mara nyingi, sisi watoto tulienda kuchezea katika eneo moja wazi lililokuwa katikati ya reli na barabara moja pale mtaani. Eneo hili lilikuwa na jaa lililohanikiza uvundo wa kila aina. Hapo ungewaona walalahoi waliozumbua riziki yao kwa kusaka vyuma, fnakombo na chupa za plastiki mumo humo jaani. Waling'ang'ania nafasi hii na nguruwe, mbuzi, ng'ombe na ndege wa porini kama kunguru. Wageni nao walichepukia mbali kidogo huku wakiziba pua zao kujisetiri na uvundo huo uliokirihi. Ajabu ni kuwa kile kilichoonekana kama taka na wengine kiligeuka chanzo cha kupata riziki kwa idadi kubwa ya viumbe.

Tulipiga milundi, tukavuka mitaro ya majitaka na kujipenyeza katikati ya mabanda. Hatimaye tulifika kwenye eneo lile la kuchezea. Mara kwa mara nilimshika ndugu yangu mkono, asije kubwagwa na mahamali ambao aghalabu walipita bila simile. Tuliwakuta wenzetu ambao aghalabu walicheza katika makundi. Michezo ilipangwa kulingana na hirimu ya wachezaji wenyewe. Wadogo wetu walishiriki kibe, gungwi na kibafute miongoni mwa michezo mingine. Kwa upande wetu, tulitumia karatasi kujitengenezea mipira ili angaa tushiriki kipute.

Mchezo ulipokuwa umetunogea, nilisikia Rindo kikali si mbali sana kutoka pale tulipokuwa. Shughuli zote zilisitishwa ghafla kila mmoja adaposhikulikoshuhudiwa kishindo kile. Akili zangu ziliduru mara moja kwani sikumbha mugu Sijui nilikopata nguvu kama za buldoza nikausukuma umati hadi pale katikati. Mnung vangura kuwa amelala kingalingali huku akivuja damu kwa wingi. Alikuwa katika hali ya kutisha Wenzake walikuwa wakijaribu kumpangusa ngeu ile huku wakimwita licha ya umri wao mdogo.

Nilikimbia huku na kule nikilia kama mwchu. Kwa nyota ya jaha, msamariamwema mmoja alisimamisha gari akamchukua majeruhi. Mama mmoja alinishika mkono tukaingia garini huku likiondoka kwa kasi. Safari yetu ilitia nanga katika hospitali moja ya kibinafsi. Wahudumu walishikilia kuwa ndugu yangu asingehudumiwa minghairi ya kutoa arbuni. "Vipi nyinyi! Yaani mnathamini fulusi zaidi ya uhai wa binadamu? Mbona hivi lakini.?" Msamariamwema yule alisaili kwa ukali.

Hali ilipozidi kutokota, alitoa kitambulisho chake cha kazi. Kumbe alikuwa mhariri mkuu katika idhaa moja ya runinga. Wauguzi na matabibu walipoyaona haya, walimchukua mnuna wangu kwa haraka na kumpeleka katika chumba cha matibabu ya dharura. Yamkini waliogopa kuwa uozo na ubaguzi katika utoaji huduma pale hospitalini ungemulikwa na kuisambaratisha biashara yao.

Mkurugenzi wa hospitali ile alimwita chemba msaidizi wetu. Sijui walijadiliana kuhusu nini. Hatimaye niliruhusiwa kuingia katika wodi kumwona mdogo wangu ambaye alikuwa amelala na kutulia baada ya kupewa dawa ya kupunguza maumivu. Kule nje, shughuli ziliendelea kana kwamba hakuna lolote lililojiri. Kwa wengine, mkasa uliotusibu haukuwahusu ndewe wala sikio.

Mbio za sakafuni huishia ukingoni. Muda mfupi baadaye, polisi walifika na kueleza kwamba walishamtia nguvuni dereva aliyesababisha ajali kwa kuendesha gari kwa kasi huku amepiga maji. Waliomba idhini ya kunihoji ili wapate taarifa zaidi. Hata sikumbuki niliyowaambia kwani akili yangu ilikuwa kwa mnuna wangu wakati huo wote.

Malezi ya watoto yamekumbwa na changamoto anuwai. Hali hii inatishia mustakabali wa jamii kwani huenda tukakosa wa kupokeza usukani wakati utendakazi wetu utakapodidimizwa na umri. Hatua za dharura na za hakika hazina budi kuchukuliwa ikiwa tunataka kuliokoa jahazi letu kabla halijagonga mwamba. Lau sivyo, tutaishia kujiuma kidole mambo yakituendea mrama.

Hapo zamani, jukumu la kuwatunza watoto lilikuwa la jamii nzima. Hakika ilijulikana na wote kuwa mkono mmoja haumlci mwana. Hata pale wazazi wa mtoto walipotangulia mbele ya haki kabla mtoto mwenyewe hajakomaa na kuwa mtu mzima, walezi wengine walichipuka miongoni mwa familia, majirani au hata jamaa wengine ambao hawakuhusiana na mtoto huyo kwa damu wala usaha. Kwa njia hiyo, watoto wote walipata malezi yafhayo katika jamii.

Siku hizi mambo yamebadilika sana. Wavycle wengi wanawajali tu wanao huku wakiwapuuza mayatima na watoto. Kwa kukosa walezi wa kuwatunza, watoto wengine wasiobahatika katika jamii. Si ajabu kumwona mtoto akifanya mambo ya kuhatarisha maisha yake au wanajamii wengine huku watu wazima wamemkodolea macho tu na kujitia hamnazo. Ukiwasaili kuhusu kiini cha hali hiyo, watakujibu kuwa wanaogopa kubwekewa na wazazi wa mtoto huyo au 'Kila mmoja ajibcbee mzigo wake'. Wasilolijua watu kama hawa ni kuwa mtego wa panya huwanasa waliokuwemo na wasiokuwemo. Athari za matendo mabaya katika jamii hazichagui ni nani atakayehasirika.

Kuwanyima watoto malezi yafaayo kumewasababishia dhiki chungu nzima katika jamii. Kati ya dhiki hizo ni ajira ya watoto wenyewe hutafuta ajira za kijungujiko ili kujikimu. Wengi wa hawa hufanyishwa kazi za sulubu ambazo huwaathiri kiafya na ukuaji wao kwa jumla. Ilali hii aidha huendeleza ukuaji zaidi kwani hawapati fursa ya kubugia elimu ambayo ingewabadilishia mustakabali wao.

Kuna wale ambao huangukia mikono ya watu katili ambao huwaingiza katika ndoa za mapema, mila potovu kama vile wizi wa mifugo na dhuluma za kimapenzi. Madhalimu hao hawabagui umri wala jinsia bali huwakandamiza watoto hao bila kujali.

Jamii haina budi kuchukua hatua zifaazo kuhusiana na malezi ya watoto. Hili likipuuzwa, huenda tukaishia kujenga ukuta baada ya kupuuza kuziba ufa. Yeyote. asijipakatic mikono, na kusema 'kila mtoto ana mzazi au jamaa zake Tujue kuwa walezi wa kweli ni mimi na wewe. Tujali maslahi ya watoto na kuwalindia haki zao.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 26 to 38.
It was one of those afternoons when villagers converged for their fortnightly meeting venue. This is where they discussed their problems, fears, anxiety and hopes. Whoever had a problem with a neighbour or any other person too, brought it there and an amicable solution was found. The offender would be expected to shake hands at the end of their case to symbolise that they had buried the hatchet.

One of the cases that day involved Duya. He had reported that his neighbour, Katele, had accused him of stealing the goat that Mowa had reported missing three weeks ago. He wanted Katele to withdraw the statement and clear his name on the matter. However, the elders and the villagers decided to give each of them a hearing before making a determination and therefore, Duya was given an opportunity to formally accuse Katele for character assassination.

He took to the floor and started praising the good relationship that had been between the two of them for years. He went ahead to explain that he had never owned a goat and had no interest in keeping any. His kitchen garden had the healthiest vegetables and according to him, if he brought in the goats, all would be lost. He only kept sheep as they were not hasty, messy or destructive. Te summarised it all by asking Katele, whom he described as a brother, to withdraw that suspicion immediately.

When Katele rose to speak, everybody expected him just to apologise and stand up to and shake Duya's hand. That would put the matter to rest. However, he too started on the same note as Duya he apologised that he actually never saw his 'brother' with the lost goat. He therefore felt the issue could be left at that but the villagers could hear none of it. They insisted that Katele had to explain how and why he picked on Duya in that particular case. Branding one a thief, they reminded him, was a weighty matter and needed to be resolved. Katele felt cornered and thus started shooting questions at Duya.

"How many children do you have?" he asked.
"You know all my children by name. The case here is on the lost goat and not my children," Duya answered instantly.
"Is Mara one of your children?"
"Yes, Mara is my last born daughter," he responded.
"Does she know the difference between a goat and a sheep?" continued Katele.
"Yes, she does. Did she ask you about that?"
"Had you been feasting on mutton for some time without visiting the butcher?" "Yes but it was from one of my sheep."

By that time, Duya's lips were already trembling and he was asked to sit down. There was a period of silence and nobody knew what the next action would be taken. It was obvious, the case had suddenly come to a conclusion. The elders decided the matter would be resolved the same day and just the affected or mentioned would be allowed to attend.

26. The main purpose of the villagers meeting was to
    1. warn those who falsely accuse others.

    2. He wanted the information to stop spreading immediately. 
    3.  It was Mowa who was supposed to report the thief.
    4. He had a problem with a number of neighbours.
30. By deciding to give each of the affected men a hearing, the elders
    1. were already aware on who was in the wrong.
    2. thought the two men could end up fighting.
    3. wanted to get the whole truth regarding the issue.
    4. knew it was the best way to spend the long afternoon hours.
31. Duya accused Katele of
    1. being jealous of his family's diet.
    2. failing to respect him as a neighbour.
    3. preparing to drag his children into a case involving adults.
    4. talking negatively about his behaviour to others.
32. When Duya started by praising their past relationship with Katele,
    1. he intended to make Katele talk positively about him too.
    2. it was because some people were ignorant of it.
    3. it was to please the elders to judge him fairly.
    4. he believed Katele had forgotten about it.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 39 to 50
A report from the United Kingdom's communications regulator, Ofcom, confirms that children are common social media users. Some 99% of children aged 3 to 17 used the internet in 2021. YouTube was the most popular platform, with 89% of the children using it. Meanwhile, half of the children used Tik Tok, a popular site which allows users to watch and share short videos.

Most social media platforms require users to be aged 13 or older. Nonetheless, the report found that a majority of children under 13 had their own profile on at least one social media app or site. One-third of parents of children aged five to seven said their child had a profile, which rose to 60% among children aged 8 to 11.

Overcoming this age restriction is clearly not a difficult task. Children simply supply a false age when setting up their account. Meanwhile, some children have multiple accounts on the same platform-one for their parents and the other for their friends. The report also found out that roughly 16% of three and four-year olds watch videos on TikTok. This could be children being shown videos by a parent or somebody else and does not mean they have their own account. However, they are still being exposed to social media content at a very young age.

With these findings in mind, it is timely to take a look at what we knew about how social media use can affect children across different age groups. Engaging with social media can have both negative and positive effects on people, especially children. It has been established that social media use is important for emotional support, community building and self-expression among adolescents but that can also negatively impact mental health and well-beings well.

In their work, the researchers have talked to young adolescents, their parents and teachers about the challenges and online harms from social media use. The result was that the effects range from spending increasing amounts of time online, behaviour change due to anticipated judgement from peers and sensory overload to more serious emotional consequences such as the attention problems, stress and anxiety.

39. The report from the United Kingdom's regulator
    1. is yet to establish if really all children use social media.
    2. states that only children use social media.
    3. is not the first to relate children to social media use.
    4. cannot be used to determine social media users.
40. The percentage of 3 to 17 old social media users in 2021 shows that 
    1. hardly any child of that age group is ignorant of social media.
    2. no parent cares what the children watch at home.
    3. all children used the internet in 2021.
    4. children ask themselves to use social media.
41.  According to the first paragraph, it is true to say that,
    1. Tik Tok is very popular among all ages of children.
    2. sharing and watching of videos is popular in both Tik Tok and Youtube.
    3. half of the children have not yet gained access to social media.
    4. only a negligible percentage of children have not accessed YouTube.
42. Why do you think do most social media users restrict age of users?
    1. Younger children have low thinking capacity.
    2. In order to control on the abuse of social media use.
    3. The children would not understand the language used in the videos..
    4. Number of children sleep in between watching the videos.
43. How do children under the age of 13 get their profile on social media? They
    1. pretend to be their parents.
    2. ensure none of them use the sites during the day.
    3. simply reduce their age to gain approval.
    4. give inaccurate information about themselves.
44. Some children have multiple accounts on the same platform because
    1. it is easy to open many accounts.
    2. they gain access to social media for a longer time.
    3. they have some sites they use secretly.
    4. they compete against their friends.
45.  How do parents contribute to their children's access to social media?
    1. They open accounts for their children.
    2. They encourage children to watch the videos.
    3. The children use multiple accounts with their full knowledge.
    4. They allow other people to open accounts for the children.
46. Children who have access to social media
    1. can be affected either positively or negatively.
    2. grow up with negative academic problems.
    3. end up catching up faster especially at languages.
    4. easily end up influencing those who are younger.
47. Which of the following is a positive attribute of the social media on users??
    1. Knowledge of multiple account creation.
    2. Being connected to other children globally.
    3. Self-expression among adolescents.
    4. Capability of identifying various social media sites.
48. Addressing the use of social media among children should involve
    1. parents, teachers and the young adults.
    2. social media administrators and parents.
    3. teachers, young adults and the community.
    4. researchers, ade and parents.
49. Which of the following is a negative attribute of social media use?
    1. Emotional support.
    2. Community building.
    3. Improved mental health.
    4. Sensory overload.
50. The best title for this passage would be
    1. The responsibility of parents over their children.
    2. The positive and negative effect of multiple social medial accounts.
    3. How social media affects children.
    4. What researchers are doing on social media use.

Tangu ugonjwa wa ukimwi uchipuke ulimwenguni, umeathiri idadi kubwa ya watu katika jamii mbalimbali. Hata hivyo mambo mengi yamebadilika katika miaka michache iliyopita. Mwongo mmoja uliopita ilikuwa muhali kupata dawa ambazo zingewasaidia wawele wa ukimwi. Mosi, dawa zilizopatikana zilikuwa ghali sana. Kwa wagonjwa wengi, na hasa wale ambao walikuwa na uwezo duni kiuchumi, kupatikana kwa dawa hizo, kulibakia ruiya tu isiyoweza kutimizika. Tatizo jingine lilitokana na upatikanaji wa dawa zenyewe. Asilimia kubwa ya wagonjwa wa ukimwi waliishia kuangamia bila kupata auni yoyote.

Leo imekuwa ni almanusura kwa kuwa tunaishi katika awamu ambapo walioathirika na ugonjwa huu wanaweza kupata huduma bora. Zipo dawa ambazo zitumiwapo vizuri huweza kuyarefusha maisha ya mwele wa ukimwi. Hali ya maisha ya mgonjwa huyo inaboreshwa na kumpa nafasi si tu ya kuendelea kuishi maisha yake vyema bali pia kuchangia maendeleo ya nchi. Aidha hisia za watu kuhusu wagonjwa wa ukimwi zimebadilika kwa kiasi kikubwa. Zamani wagonjwa walipuuzwa na kutengwa. Hii haina maana kupuuzwa na kutengwa kumeisha.

Kwa ufupi tunaweza kudai kuwa, tangu kugunduliwa kwa uele wa ukimwi, juhudi kubwa zimefanywa ili kutafuta tiba pamoja na kinga zake. Mpaka leo, hamna maendeleo ya kuridhisha japo yapo matumaini makubwa. Zipo hatua nyingi zilizochukuliwa kupambana na uele huu lengo likiwa ni kuudhibiti katika viwango vya chini kabisa. Baadhi ya juhudi ambazo tunaziona ni kupitia kwa matangazo ya kuwatahadharisha vijana dhidi ya mapenzi ya kiholela na nyendo nyingine zinazoweza kuwatumbu kiza katika lindi la maambukizi. Dini na madhehebu mbalimbali yanahimiza nyendo zenye maadili kama njia kuu ya kuushinda ukongo huu. Vyombo vya habari aidha vimekuwa katika mstari wa mbele kutangaza kuhusu ugonjwa huu.

Tuko na makongamano na warsha mbalimbali ambazo zimeandaliwa ambapo mikakati mbalimbali hujadiliwa ili kuona upi unaofaa insani wa jamii mbalimbali. Mikutano ya aina hii nayo inakashfiwa kwa kujikita katika hoteli kubwa za kifahari katika miji mikuu mbali na upeo wa macho wa mwananchi wa kawaida ambaye vikao vyenyewe vinalenga kumwauni. Yaani wale wanaodhamiriwa kusaidiwa hawahusishwi utadhani wako na ugonjwa wa kuambukiza.

Mashirika ya kiserikali na yasiyo ya kiserikali yamejizatiti kupambana na maradhi haya sugu. Pamoja na mashirika haya na makundi ya watu binafsi zipo dawa za kupooza ukongo huu. Waathiriwa nao huzitumia kupunguza athari zake ili kuyarefusha maisha yao kama nilivyokudokezea mwanzoni. Licha ya kuwepo kwa dawa hizi, kuna wale ambao hawazifaidi kwa vile hawamudu hata gharama ya usafiri ya kujiwasilisha zinakopatikana. Hawa ni wale akina yakhe wanaoishi katika mitaa ya mabanda na wengine wanaoishi vijijini mbali na ustaarabu wa mji. Hata baadhi ya walalahoi hujipata katika hali kama hii. Wachochole wengi hujiona wenye bahati hata kupata chakula cha mshindio. Wengi wanaotumia dawa hizi hulalamikia kuona kisunzi watumiapo vidonge hivi pasipo kula chochote.

Kwa sasa tunachoona hapa ni kuwa wale wanaojishughulisha na vita dhidi ya ugonjwa huu hatari wanalenga tu namna ya kuuzuia. Hawatilii maanani njia za kuwahudumia wahasiriwa wenyewe. Hawa wanaelekea kutelekezwa kabisa na mashirika husika pamoja na jamaa zao ambao huwaona kama mzigo mkubwa kwao. Umefika sasa wakati wa kushughulikia ndugu zetu hawa kwa mapenzi ya dhati.

Serikali za nchi za Kiafrika zinafaa kutoa dawa kwa bei nafuu ili kuwawezesha wanaougua kukabiliana na maradhi ainati ambayo huwanyemelea kinga yao inapodhoofika. Waja hawa wanaweza kupata bahati ya kuyasukuma mbele maisha ya vitoto vyao vikembe hadi vikaweza kujiangalia vyenyewe. Waathiriwa hawatakuwa wamenufaika kwa msaada huu peke yao tu bali pia watoto wanaowetegemea. Tumewaona watoto wengi wakiathirika baada ya wazazi wao kuwaacha mkono. Wagonjwa hawa wasipuuzwe kama kwamba wanashtumiwa kwa kuugua uele huu.

Uzingatiaji wa lishe bora umekuwa na matokeo mazuri sana miongoni mwa wagonjwa wa ukimwi. Suala la lishe bora kwa kweli si la maradhi haya tu bali maradhi mengine yote kwa jumla. Mgonjwa yeyote yule huweza kuona ashekali haraka na hatimaye kupona vizuri ikiwa anakunywa dawa na kuzingatia lishe hakutoshi. Uzingatiaji wa lishe bora umethibitishwa na wataalamu kuchangia pakubwa katika kuzuia kukonda na kudumisha uzani.
Ni wajibu wa kila mmoja wetu kujikinga na ugongwa huu na vilevile kuwanyoshea mkono wa msaada wanaougua. Huu ni ubinadamu na hata misahafu inapigia debe kujitolea huku.

Faulu alizaliwa katika familia iliyojiweza. Malezi yake basi yangeweza kutabiriwa. Alilelewa kwa tunu na tamasha, asijue maana ya msamiati wa kukosa. Wazazi wake walikuwa wafanyabiashara maarufu ambao walisafiri nchini na ng'ambo kwa shughuli hizo. Hata hivyo, hawakukosa muda wa kutangamana na mwanao. Walimwelekeza na kumfunza maadili na kanuni za kijamii, si kwa maneno tu, bali pia kwa vitendo.

Miongoni mwa mambo ambayo wazazi wa Faulu walitilia maanani ni umoja na mshikamano wa kijamii. Pamoja na kwamba walikuwa kiguu na njia katika kujiinua kiuchumi, hakuna sherehe ya kijijini, iwe harusi au matanga waliyokosa kuhudhuria. Wakati ambao mmoja wao alikuwa safarini, mwenzake alimwakilisha. Wanakijiji waliwapenda na kuwastahi, nao wakawa hawaishi kumsifia Faulu ukarimu na uchagamfu wa wanakijiji. Walimshauri kuhusu umuhimu wa kushirikiana na wengine na kumtahadharisha kuwa mtu pweke ni uvundo.

Jioni moja, Faulu na shangazi yake walikumbatiana kwa muda huku machozi yakiwadondoka. Kila mmoja alivuta kumbukizi zake na kuiona safari yao ya maisha iliyowapeleka katika njia tofauti hadi leo. Ajabu ya maajabu. Leo hii, aliyekuwa na hali siku zile amekuwa hoi na kuja kumlilia aliyeonekana mnyonge nyakati zile. Ama kweli, maisha ni mapishano.

Faulu anayakumbuka yote. Kama nilivyokuelekezea, wazazi wake walikuwa watu na vyao. Walimlea Faulu kwa tunu na tamasha. Siku zote alichohitaji aliambiwa chukua tu. Isitoshe, wazazi hawa walitenga muda wa kuwa na mwana wao kila mwishoni mwa wiki. Kila siku, baba yake alimpeleka shuleni kwa gari lake la kibinafsi na kumchukua jioni. Ama kukulikuntu, maisha ya binti huyu yalijawa nuru angavu.

Waswahili husema kuwa, mambo ni kangaja huenda yakaja. Faulu alipojiunga na darasa la saba, alianza kushuhudia mabadiliko katika uhusiano wa wavyele wake. Aidha, baba yake alianza kudhoofika kiafya kila uchao. Ilifika mahali akashindwa hata kumchukua bintiye shuleni akamwachia mkewe jukumu hili. Basi tangu hapo wakawa wakibadilishana nafasi na kulazwa hospitalini, akitoka huyu anampisha mwenzake.

Ulikuwa wakati wa alasiri, Faulu alikuja kuchukuliwa na shangaziye shuleni. Njiani walisafiri kimyakimya. Walipofika nyumbani wakakumbana na umayamaya wa watu. Majirani walionekana kumtuliza mama yake bila mafanikio. "Pole sana Faulu Baba yako ametuacha mkono," akasema jirani mmoja. Faulu, anakumbuka kihoro kilichomvamia kama kwamba ni jana. Hata baada ya mazishi, majirani walijaribu kumtuliza mama Faulu lakini alikuwa ameenda nguu. Usiku mmoja Faulu aliagana na mama yake kwenda kulala lakini hakumkuta asubuhi. Alikuwa kauaacha mwili wake tu huku roho ikishika njia ya marahaba.

Hivyo ndivyo Faulu alivyojipata yatima aliyetegemea hisani ya shangazi yake aliyenyakua mali yote ya marehemu kaka yake. Faulu akajipata haendi shuleni na badala yake akatwikwa ujakazi pale chengoni pa shangazi. Licha ya shangazi kupiga bei mali aliyopaswa kurithi Faulu, la Ibra ni kuwa aliambiwa eti hapakuwa na fulusi za kumwelimisha. Hapo ndipo niliposaidiki ya wahenga kuwa mnyonge kupata haki ni mwenye nguvu kupenda.

Nao wahenga walisema kuwa penye nia pana njia. Faulu alimwendea mwalimu mkuu wa shule yake na kumweleza nususi ya mambo tangu shina hadi kilele. Naye mwalimu, kwa kuyaelewa manufaa ya kuwaelimisha vijana, alitafuta udhamini wa serikali na kumpa hifadhi kwake. Faulu hajasahau kumwomba Jalali amneemeshe mwalimu huyo. Nyota yake ya masomo iliyonekana kufifia ilianza kung'aa kwa nuru ya ajabu.

Faulu naye aliyakumbatia masomo kwa mikono miwili. Akasoma kwa hamu na kuwa mmojawapo wa wanafunzi bora katika viwango vyote. Baada ya kuhitimu katika chuo kikuu, alibahatika kama mtende, akateuliwa na rais kuwa waziri wa ugatuzi. Ama kweli, baada ya dhiki ni faraja kama si mchumia juani hulia kivulini.
Nayo mambo ya shangaziye yalimwendea upogo. Licha ya kutojaliwa watoto iligunduliwa kuwa alikuwa na saratani ya kizazi. Matibabu yalikifilisi kibindo chake na kumwacha hohehahe. Sasa akawa amepata mwanya wa kupata matibabu ya kina lakini kizingiti kikawa ukosefu wa hela.

Faulu alipozipokea habari za maradhi ya shangaziye, alijawa na huruma furifuri. Ama kweli damu ni nzito kuliko maji. Hapo alituma ujumbe shangazi aje ofisini mwake na hivyo ndivyo walivyokutana leo. Baada ya muda alimkaribisha shangazi yake katika ofisi yake na wakakaa kujuliana hali.
