SEHEMU YA A: UFAHAMU
Soma taarifa ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali yanayofuatia.
Sagamba aliikodolea macho saa ya ukutani. Saa kumi na moja kasoro
dakika tano. Hapo alianza kuyarudisha mapazia ya dirisha la ofisi. Alipanga ya
kazi na kuanza kutoka. Mara rununu ikatoa mlio. Kisha ikazima. Aliitazama
majalada na kuona aliyiempigia. Alitabasamu na kuirudisha rununu mfukoni.
Zilizala ilikuwa baa maarufu sana mjini. Sagamba na wenzake waliitwa
‘wanachama wa kudumu’ kwa uzoefu wao wa kwenda hapo. Mara simu lilia tena.
Sagamba aliichukua na kuitazama kwa muda. Alisonya kwa hasira kabla
kuisogeza sikioni. “Halo! Tafadhali rudi nyumbani mapema, mtoto hasikii
vizuri,” sauti hiyo ilisema. Alikuwa mkewe. Sagamba aliizima simu kabisa huku
akisema, “Sitaki kusumbuliwa. Yaani mtoto anakuwa mgonjwa mwisho wa
mwezi ambapo nimepata donge langu nono?” Sagamba alikuwa amepata mkopo
wa laki mbili kutoka kwa chama cha akiba na mikopo kwao kazini. Mifukoni
alifutika vitita vya noti za elfu elfu. Ndani ya baa alizingrwa mithili ya nyuki
wanapozuru ua lenye mbelewele.
Huko nyumbani mkewe alijaribu kumpigia simu mumewe asimpate. Simu
ilikuwa imezimwa. Mtoto alizidiwa maradhi na kuwa hoi. Mama hakusubiri,
kwani uchungu wa mwana aujuaye mzazi. Alimfunga mbeleko mwanawe na
kupiga milundi hadi kwa jirani. Jirani alipomwona mtoto amekodoa macho na
punmzi kumpapa alijua maji yamezidi unga. Aliwasha gari lake mara moja na
kufululiza hadi hospitali ya mkoa mjini. Mwna alipokelewa upesi upesi na kuanza
kupewa matibabu. Ilikuwa mnamo saa saba usiku jirani alipoomba kurudi
nyumbani.
Kule Zilizala mambo yalimwendea sanjae Sagamba. Alilewa akalewalewa.
Pombe ilimkolea na kusaha kuwa ‘utamu wa kidonda umemuua nzi.’ Alipoletewa
bili ya kulipa vinywaji, alitumbukiza mikono mfukoni kutoa pesa. Apate nini!
Hela zilikuwa zimefagiliwa zote! Alipiga ukwenzi kama mwehu. Macho yaliingia
kiwi na akabaki kuchanganyikiwa. Mara alimshika mashati bwana mmoja kifefe
aliyeketi karibu naye na kumwambia amrudishie pesa zake. Yule bwna hakuwa na
nafasi ya kukaribisha matusi yoyote. Vurumai ikaanza kupikika. Joto likakolea na
kuiva hadi vita vikazuka. Sagamba alipigwa akapigika na kutupwa nje ya baa.
“Hajalipa hela ya vinywaji!” Wahudumu walilalamika. Ulevi uliomjaa kichwani
haukuruhusu miguu yake kuchana mbuga. Alianguka katikati ya barabara ya lami,
nusura gari dogo limgonge. Alikuwa amechubuka usoni na magotini. Leo pombe
imemweza Sagamba. Kwa kweli, ‘maji huua mwogeleaji hodari’. Yule mwenye
gari alipiga breki ghafla. Mara gari la polisi waliokuwa zamu likafika.

2KARIA
Once upon a time there lived a very beautiful girl known as Karia in a distant village. One day,
Karia and her mother went to dig in the garden by the edge of the forest that was home ogres that
could talk and sing. When it was time to leave, the mother out called her daughter who was
bathing in the stream near the garden.“Karia” we had better rush home; darkness will soon
descend upon us and there are many ogres along the way.
Karia hurriedly picked up the luggage her mother her mother had packed and they went home.
Once reaching home, karia realized that she had left her beautiful neckless by the stream where
she had taken a bath. Her grandmother had given to her saying, “take good care of this neckless
and pass it on to your eldest daughter.” Karia was very depressed at the fact that she had left it
beside the stream.
‘Mother, I have to go back for the neckless. I forgot it by the stream,’ Karia said.
“No my daughter, it is already dark outside and besides the ogres are roaming the forest.”
She could not bear the thought of her only daughter setting out in the pitch darkness.
The girl started crying, saying that if she waited for daylight, she would find the neckless
missing. Her mother withdrew to the kitchen to check whether the food was ready. She came out
only to find Karia missing.
“karia, karia! Karia! Where are you? Come!” she called out. It dawned on her that karia must
have gone back to the stream for the neckless. She immediately run to her brother-in-law’s home
in search of her husband panting; “father of karia, gather other men, karia has gone back to the
stream for her neckless! Oh, my only daughter ………those ogres……. What will I do?”
“What is wrong with my daughter? I could have bought her another necklace ”, said karia’s
father.
It took about an hour for men to prepare and set out to for the search. Their hearts beat with
apprehension as they pressed through the dark.
Karia had been running swiftly and by this time was by the edge of the forest. She slowed down
for the remaining part of the journey in order to catch her breath. The early morning chilled her
skin. The thought, “if I fail to get the neckless, what will I tell my granny?” quickened her pace
to where she had undressed and found that her neckless was intact. Joy flooded her heart. She
quickly picked up the necklessand started on her way home with a springy leap, laughing at her
mother’s fear of ogres.
She had hardly taken a few steps, when she met an ogre squarely planted in the middle of the
path. In order to be allowed to pass shesang:
You ogre
Do not bother me
I am njanwa’s daughter
Take this bead
And let me pass
The ogre accepted the bead and let her pass only to run through the bush past her and stop in the
middle of the road. She reached the point where it stood blocking the way and she repeated her
song. By the time she was half way back home, she had run out of beads. Having no alternative,
she tearfully said, “take this arm let me pass.”
Through her sorrow and pain, she thought of the necklace and the ogre that still demanded
something in exchange for passage.
After a while, she had only one leg and so the ogre decided to eat her up. Her father and the
village elders came upon the satisfied ogre. They spared it and slit open its belly. To their
delight, karia emerged, holding the beautiful necklace.
There ends the story.
