I was wishing I had slept with my uniforms putted on, but I realised if wishes were chickens beggars would been layin eggs.
I woke up with only one eye open and I was looking where the karai was put I wash my face.
I found some cotton which I used to burn the jiko and cook a chai without milk called sturungi or hard tea! I drank the sturungi haphazardly and hurriendily with a big piece of kiugali which had remained at night.
I put on my uniforms and then I painted myself with fat and because there was no kiwi I had to paint my shoes with fat too.
I took a paperbag put books and biros then ran my everything, I beated the first corner hardly then as I was beating the second corner I heard the school bell cry, "nckgririrnckngrirririririnckgrrrirrrrr!!!" I knew nimelate.
When I reached the gate!! You don't want to know!! Mr Mogaka was standing at the gate with a big black nyahunyo. I was so afraid that I almost urinated.
I was asked "why are you late?" I said "makaa was poured with water at night" teacher asked "what has that to do with you coming to school late" I told him "the jiko was late to burn so it delayed cookin strong" he said that is no excuse!! Touch your toes!! I started to remove my shoes so I can touch the toes but he told me I just meant bend.
He gave me the first nyahunyo on my buttocks,hehe it was as hot as a boiling water, I dried that one, he gave me the second one pap!! This one was much hottern I started hearing to cry, when the third one was given to me I heard so much pain that I touched my buttocks, the teacher said "you have erased that one!! I will have to give you another one!! When I was given the fourth nyahunyo,tears started getting out of my eyes uncontoullably, the teacher said, "You removing tears for who!! I don't want to see even a smell of tear, ran to class and don't late tomorrow. My buttocks as I went to class were hearing as if sitting in a burning jiko.
I dried the tears because my classmate would laugh at me for crying. When I entered class I walked slowly to my desk and when I tried to sit it was so pain I could not seet. So I seeted on air above my chair holding my desk.From that day I sweya I will never late again.
