Manta was in Primary Six when he started running away from school. At the beginning of term

reach school.

One day, he lied to his father that he has been sent away for fees. The old man sold his only goat
and gave all the money to Manta to go and pay the fees. When Manta received fees, he went to
the nearby centre and spent all the fifty thousand shillings. He bought sodas, cakes and even
played pool.
Feeling ashamed, she did not return home.

During these days, the people of the village had trouble with night robbers. They lost money, food
and animals. In order to end the robbery, they formed a security committee to guard the village at
night. For two weeks, Manta went missing. His parents announced on Radio Ddobozi. They went
to all their relatives and Manta was nowhere. One, night, a gang of thieves broke into a window’s
house. she was deep asleep when they broke a window glass. They had a small boy who they
pushed through the broken window. He entered and opened the door for them. By the time the
window broke up, they had reached her bedroom.

They threatened to shoot at her if she made any noise. They asked for money, which she did not
have. Luckily, one of her sons escaped. When he got outside, he blew the whistle. The security
committee members heard. They came running and caught the thieves. As they were taking
them outside someone coughed from under the bed. When they flashed the torch, there they saw
a small boy.

He was ordered to come out. It was Manta. Everybody got scared. He was one of the thieves. He
had a piece of wood which they had used as a gun. That night, the thieves were taken to police
station. Manta was too young to be taken to prison. The next day he was taken to Kadogo
rehabilitation centre.
