C. ORAL LITERATURE
Read the oral narrative below and answer the questions that follow.
There was once only one wise being in all the world, and that was Kwaku Ananse, the
spider .But Kwaku Ananse wished to keep all this wisdom to himself.

One day, bored with having to stay and guard his wisdom all day, Kwaku Ananse decided to
store it away and hide it in a safe place. So he called his wife, Aso, and asked her to make him a
big pot into which he could put all his wisdom.

Aso went down to the riverbank and collected clay .She carefully made a big pot - a great
pot with a narrow opening at the top so it could be easily sealed. Then she put the pot out in the
sun to bake, and with the remainder of the clay, fashioned a stopper.

When the pot was finished, Aso took it to her husband, who, after making sure that there
were no cracks in it, gathered together all his wisdom and pushed it well down into the pot .He
covered it with some cocoa-yam leaves, then put in the stopper and tied it on with some strong
twine.

Now Kwaku Ananse had decided to hide the pot way up in the branches of a huge, silk-
cotton tree that grew some distance away in the forest .It was over three metres wide, and the
spikes on its trunk would stop all but the most intrepid spiders from climbing it.

Carrying the pot in front of him, he made his way through the forest, followed – unbeknown
- by his small son, Ntikuma. At last he reached the great tree and started to attempt to climb it.
He hung the pot by a rope around his neck, with the stopper just below his nose so he could
make quite sure it did not tip over.

Alas, try as he would ,Kwaku Ananse could not climb the tree ,for the pot kept getting in the
way of his arms and he found he was unable to grip the trunk .He tried ,and tried, and tried, but
with no success.

He grew hot and sticky and started to swear angrily.

7
 Now, Ntikuma was watching his father from behind a tree, puzzled by his curious antics. At
last, when Kwaku Ananse’s swearing grew really bad, he could stand it no longer and came up
to his father timidly.

“Surely my father”, he said, “If you wish to take that pot up the tree you should tie it to
your back, not your front. Then your hands would be free.”

Ananse was furious. Here was his small son teaching him a lesson – a lesson which he
realized was only too true. Shaking with anger and exhaustion, he lifted the pot intending to
take it off and chastise his son .His hands were slippery with sweat and the great pot was heavy.
It slipped through his fingers and crashed to the ground. The pot burst open and the contents
were scattered far and wide .There was a storm coming, and the wind swept through the forest,
lifting the wisdom and carrying it on its way. The rain poured down and swept the wisdom into
the steams, which carried it into the sea .Thus wisdom spread throughout the world.

The Cowtail Swish

Once upon a time, there lived a much loved village chief. He loved hunting and would share
the meat with the entire village. One day, he went hunting as usual but didn't return. His people
became very worried. They searched and searched for him. As they searched, they kept singing
his favourite song, hoping that he'd sing back in response. The song echoed throughout the
forest:
Mother nature, mother nature
You have enough for all
Mother nature, may my arrow find much meat
Meat to feed all my people
After a long fruitless search, the chief was presumed dead. Shortly afterwards, his wife
gave birth to their seventh son. With his first breath, he asked, "What happened to my father?"
"Have you ever seen anything like this?" the villagers whispered among themselves
in amazement.
"Never, ever!" was the soft reply all round. Immediately, the newborn's question
prompted his six older brothers to embark on another search for their father. It was with
sadness that they discovered that he'd been swallowed by a python.Luckily, each of them was
endowed with special talents and powers which they combined to restore their father's life. The
whole village danced and danced, the joyful pata pata of their feet resounding throughout the
village.
Now, a big, big problem arose; who among the sons would become heir one day and
receive the Cowtail swish which was the symbol of authority? Each of the six sons claimed that
it was his magical powers that had brought their father back from the land of the spirits. Each
claim sounded as valid and as potent as the next. In confusion, the villagers scratched their
heads like chickens scratching the ground.
"Well, our land has many rivers, each with its source. Likewise, the search that eventually
led to the restoration of my life had a source," the chief said in a tone of finality. All the eyes of
the villagers turned on the infant son. They remembered the proverb that says: a man is only
truly dead when he is not remembered.

1. UFAHAMU: (Alama 15) Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali.

Afisa wa ukaguzi wa abiria na mizigo alimrudishia cheti chake cha usafiri na kubofya
tarakilishi yake kuashiria kuanza kumhudumia mteja mwingine. Duma alikichukua cheti chake cha
usafiri kwa pupa, kana kwamba anamtarajia mtu kuja kukibwakura. Moyo wake ulitweta na
kukisukuma kidari chake kikembe nusura kukipasua. Baada ya kukihifadhi cheti hiki ndani ya
mfuko wake mdogo wa kusafiria, alichapuka moja kwa moja hadi chumbani ambamo wasafiri
hungojea kuiva kwa safari.

Si kwamba Duma ni mwanagenzi wa safari za Ughaibuni. La! Hasha. Amekia vilele vya
anga kwa muda wa miaka isiyopungua kumi sasa, tangu alipochukuliwa kijijini mwao akiwa na
umri wa miaka kumi na miwili; mjomba wake anakuja kumtafutia kazi. Kazi aliyopata ilimtia tumbo
joto mwanzoni, akataka kutoroka, atokomee kokote kule. Fikiria wewe, ndio sasa umetoka kwenye
mbeleko ya mama yako, ubwabwa wa shingo ndio unaanza kukutoka, kisha uje kutoswa kwenye
kazi ya kuvuna majani kwenye shamba kubwa la Bwana Mali, majani ambayo unapopata fursa ya
kuyatafuna yanakufanya kujihisi kama tiara inayoelea angani! Kisha baadaye upagazwe kazi ya
kuyauza majani hayo hayo, pamoja na unga unaohifadhiwa katika vifuko vidogo vya kuvutia,
kwenye soko la siri na hata shuleni! Hata hivyo walisema wasemao kwamba papo kwa papo
kamba hukata jiwe, na kinolewacho hupata.

Duma alipata walimu, akafunzwa jinsi ya kuyatumia majani na aina mbalimbali za unga ili
kuituliza nadhari na dhamiri yake ambayo awali ikimsumbua sana. Polepole ule utu na ulimbukeni
aliokuwa nao uliyeyuka, akatwaa moyo wa jiwe na kuikumbatia kazi hii kwa dhati ya moyo wake,
moyoni akijiambia kuwa hayo ndiyo majaliwa yake. "Ikiwa huu si utashi wa Mungu, kwa nini
akalituma gonjwa kuja kuwaua wazazi wangu. mmoja baada ya mwingine? Kwa nini akawaacha
akina ami kunipoka kidogo kilichobakizwa na matibabu ya wazazi wangu? Kwa nini asimtume mtu
kuja kuniokoa nilipoingizwa kwenye biashara hii na mjomba Papa?" Duma alijiuliza maswali haya
mfululizo. Hatimaye aliihalalisha kazi yake kwa kusema, "Kazi mbi si mchezo mwema."

Duma alipopata tajiriba ya kutosha kupambana na walinda usalama wenye macho ya

kipanga, mwajiri wake hakusita kumtumia kwenye safari za kusafirisha shehena kwenye masoko
ya ng'ambo. Mara nyingi aliponea tundu la sindano kutiwa mbaroni. Wakati mwingine mashine za
ukaguzi ziliweza kunusa shehena yake, akalazimika kulainisha viganja vya maafisa wakuu wa
forodha. Kila mara alijiambia, "Hii kazi ni hatari, nikipata pesa za kutosha kuufukuza uhawinde
nitang'atuka." Hata hivyo, Duma tayari alikwisha kuwa sikio la kufa. Alikuwa amedidimia katika
ulanguzi wa dawa za kulevya, ulanguzi ambao ulikuwa umemwingia kwenye mishipa jinsi dawa
zenyewe zilivyokuwa zimegeuka damu inayousukuma moyo wake. Badala ya kuacha, yeye na
mwajiri wake walizua mikakati mipya ya kusafirisha shehena.

Safari ya leo ilipoiva, Duma alifanya kama alivyoagizwa na mwajiri wake. Asubuhi na
mapema alibugia shehena yake, koo ikakuball kuisafirisha hadi tumboni ambapo uchango wake
uliombwa kuihifadhi hadi utakapofika wakati wa kuitapika shehena hiyo Ughaibuni. Fungu lililobaki
lilitiwa ndani ya begi la kusafiria, katikati ya nguo. Duma alitarajia kwamba atampata jamaa wake
wa kawaida kwenye forodha. Akajiambia kwamba hata asipompata huyo jamaa anaweza kuitoa
shehena hiyo hiyo kama kafara kwa maafisa wa usalama. Duma alikuwa na bahati ya mtende
kumpata huyo jamaa wake, pamoja na afisa wa usalama aliyejuana naye kwa vilemba,
akafanikiwa kupitisha shehena zake bila kujua kwamba yake ya arubaini imefika.

Mara tu Duma alipotua kwenye uwanja wa ndege wa Kamata, Polisi wa Kimataifa

walimzingira. Mimweko ya kamera za wanahabari ilitishia kuyapofua macho ya mtumwa huyu
ambaye alikuwa sharti auawe kwa kukubali kutumwa. Vikuku viwili vikubwa vilivirembesha viwiko
vya mikono yake ambayo aliikabidhi kwa maafisa hawa kama anayekubali kuwajibikia kosa lake.
Nchini mwake mwajiri wake alipiga kidoko alipotazama kadhia hii kwenye runinga. Akasema, "

(a) Huku ukitoa mifano mitano, onyesha jinsi haki za kibinadamu zilivyokiukwa (alama 5)
(b) Andika vyanzo vinne vya maovu ya kijamii kwa mujibu wa taarifa. (alama 4)
(c) "Yaliyompata Duma ni mwiba wa kujichoma." Thibitisha kauli hii kwa kutoa mifano miinne.

2. UFUPISHO: (Alama 15)
Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali.

Suala la jamii kujitosheleza kwa mahitaji ya chakula na lishe ni jambo ambalo halina
budi kushughulikiwa kwa dhati. Chakula ni mojawapo ya mahitaji ya kimsingi ya binadamu na kila
mja ana haki ya kupata chakula, na si chakula tu, bali chakula chenye virutubisho muhimu. Nchi
isiyowakimu raia wake kwa chakula ni sawa na ng'ombe aliyeshindwa kumnyonyesha ndama
wake.

Kwa muda mrefu, viongozi wamekuwa wakipambana na tatizo la ukosefu wa chakula.

Msimu wa kiangazi unapobisha hodi, watu wengi, hasa wale wahitaji, hupukutika kutokana na
mng'ato wa njaa. Japo serikali na wafadhili hutuma vyakula vya msaada kwa jamii zilizoathirika
zaidi, chakula hiki huwa kama nguo ya kuazima, na bila shaka ya kuazima haikidhi haja.

Mojawapo ya vyanzo vikuu vya uhaba wa chakula ni kiwango cha chini cha uzalishaji na
uhifadhi wa chakula chenyewe. Zipo sehemu nyingi nchini ambazo ni kame. Sehemu hizi
hukabiliwa na ukosefu wa maji kwani, ama mvua hainyeshi, au inaponyesha haitoshelezi mahitaji
ya mimea. Mimea mingi hujikaukia ikiwa michanga na kudhihaki juhudi za wapanzi. Zipo sehemu
katika nchi hii ambazo huenda kwa misimu hata zaidi ya mitano bila kupata zao lolote kutoka
mashambani. Hali ikiwa hivi makali ya uhitaji huzidi na wakazi wa sehemu hizi hulazimika kuwa
wategemezi kwa majirani na serikali. Wengine wanapokosa chakula kabisa huazimia kula
visivyoliwa. Wanaamwa la mbwa baada ya kukosa la mama.

Hali kadhalika, japo zipo sehemu nyingine ambazo hazina tatizo la ukame, mbinu hasi za
kilimo husababisha utoaji wa mavuno haba, hivyo kutojitosheleza kwa chakula. Bila shaka
wanapopanda ovyo, wanavuna ovyo. Kuna wakulima ambao hupalilia mmomonyoko wa udongo
kwa kulima kandokando ya mito, kupanda zao lile lile katika sehemu ile ile ya ardhi miaka nenda
miaka rudi, na kutopanda mimea ambayo hukinga tabaka la juu la udongo dhidi ya
kumomonyolewa na maji au upepo. Matokeo ya haya yanaweza kutabiriwa; udongo wenye rutuba
huoshwa na mashamba kutwaa utasa ambao huzidisha kuzalishwa kwa chakula haba. Wakulima
wengine hukaidi wito wa kupanda mimea ambayo hustahimili ukame kama vile mibaazi, mihogo,
mtama, ulezi na wimbi. Baadhi ya wafugaji hufuga mifugo wengi ambao hushindwa kustahimili
kiangazi. Si ajabu kupata kwamba katika baadhi ya maeneo, mizoga ya ng'ombe na hata ngamia
imezagaa kote, tanuri la kiangazi linapofanya kazi yake.

Sehemu nyingine zimebarikiwa kwa ukwasi wa chakula. Hata hivyo, baadhi ya wakazi wa
sehemu hizi hawana mwao kuhusu umuhimu wa lishe bora. Wapo wanaodhani kuwa chakula ni
chakula, bora tumbo lipate haki. Hawa hula vyakula kama vile viazi, mahindi, na wengine nyama
bila kujua wanahitaji vyakula vyenye virutubisho muhimu, yaani, wanga,protini, vitamini na madini.
Wapo wanaodhani kuwa protini pekee ni nyama. Hawa hula nyama mawio na machweo, matokeo
yakiwa kuambulia magonjwa kama vile shinikizo la damu.

Katika kukabiliana na tatizo la uhaba wa chakula, serikali. kupitia wizara husika,

imeanzisha miradi ya kuhakikisha kuwa kuna uzalishaji wa chakula kwa kiwango cha kuridhisha.
Visima vya maji na mabwawa yamechimbwa katika sehemu kame ili kunyunyizia mashamba maji.
Baadhi ya wakulima wameanza kupanda mimea ambayo inapevuka na kutoa mazao haraka. Ipo
mimea ya kuatika ambayo hutoa matunda baada ya muda mfupi, hivyo kusaidia kupunguza makali
ya njaa. Wafugaji wengine wameanzisha miradi ya kufuga kuku wa kututumuliwa. Hawa hukua na
kukomaa kwa muda mfupi na huweza kutoa nyama na mayai. Wafugaji wa kuku hawa huweza
kuwauza kununua aina nyingine ya vyakula.

Wakulima pia wanahimizwa kutumia njia za kisasa za kuzalisha na kuhifadhi chakula.

Chakula kinapohifadhiwa vyema. hata mvua isiponyesha, raia huweza kujitegemea. Ikiwa maghala
ya halmashauri za kuhifadhi chakula nchini hayahifadhi chakula, mara nyingi nchi hulazimika
kuagiza chakula kutoka nje kiangazi kinapojiri. Aidha, chakula kisipohifadhiwa vyema huishia
kuharibika na kuhasiri wanaokila, ikawa msiba juu ya mwingine.

Ni muhimu kufahamu kuwa jukumu la kupambana na ukosefu wa chakula ni la kila raia.

Hali ya kungojea kila mara kulishwa na serikali inatufanya kuwa wategemezi zaidi. Wakulima
wadogowadogo ambao huuza vyakula vyao kwa bei ya chini sana mara tu wanapovitoa
16
mashambani wanapaswa kujiasa dhidi ya mazoea haya na kujua kuwa akiba haiozi. Wanaoishi
katika sehemu zenye vinamasi wasaidiwe kuzitunza sehemu hizi na kuzitumia kwa njia endelevu.
Vijana wahimizwe wawaunge wazee mkono kushughulikia kilimo katika sehemu za mashambani
badala ya kuhamia mijini kutafuta kazi za ajira ambazo ni haba. Wanaoishi mijini nao wajifunge
nira kutumia nafasi walizo nazo kuendeleza kilimo cha bustani.
