A lion’s share

The day of exhausted hot condition than the past two ones I witnessed myself. A man who looks hungry had his almost 7 year old boy. Nobody in Chinangwa village knew where he was from and where was he heading to.

The son looked tired as well hungry. They were footing and sat under ntondo tree. There, along the road a man with a bundle of pieces of sugar cane was passing. His tired son begged a piece of cane and was offered 5 pieces. Boy’s father seized 4 pieces and cracked all for a couple of minutes. The young boy seemed angry for the disproportional share by his father. Alfred Butao and I were just staring at what was happening. We were just shocked of what unkind father did.
