As usual, Syonzola’s screams woke up his son
Musau. On that night, Musau listened for his
father’s steps as he always did. But his father did not seem
to move closer to the house. Musau sat up and
listened more keenly.

“My father is really in danger,” Musau said. ” is
time he is not teasing.”

Musau jumped up from his bed. He grabbed a smouldering
log from the fire and rushed out of the hut.
