Some time ago, there was a man and his wife called Mr and Mrs Mkombozi who lived an ordinary life at
Kunoga village. They had three children, Juma, Musa and Jamila. Juma worked very hard at school and
managed to go to secondary school. He was finally employed as a teacher at a neighbouring primary
school.
One day Juma talked to his father on the phone and told him that he would send them a Tsh. 100,000
for their up keep. When Mr Mkombozi heard that, he was excited about the money and started
planning how to spend it. He decided to share this with his family. He told them of his plans to build a
poultry house for keeping layers (chickens which lay egg).
His son Musa said that he would be the one to collect the eggs while Jamila would do the cleaning.
Jamila was annoyed and said she would be the one to collect the eggs and Musa would do the cleaning.
This quarrel went on until they started fighting.
When their mother saw them fighting she went over to stop them. She was surprised to hear that they
were fighting over the collection of eggs while the chicken had not yet been bought. Even the money for
buying the chickens was not yet sent by their brother Juma.
