Mavi’s father is such a dinosaur. He’s always on Mavi’s case about using isiXhosa at home for all the words, even if the English ones are easier. Who has time to say “21” in isiXhosa when you can say it in English? Nobody, that’s who. Well, nobody except his father, that is. Mavi’s friends think it is hilarious, but they’re not the ones now stuck doing extra “homework” set by Tata.

This story is also available in isiXhosa: Ingcwaba Lamagama

Knowing your home language is good. The world should not be ruled by English only.
