  • A long ago, Hyena married many wives and begot many, many children. When famine broke in...(Solved)

    Read the following narrative and answer the questions that follow:

    A long ago, Hyena married many wives and begot many, many children. When famine broke in the country, poor hyena found himself facing an enormous task of feeding his extra-ordinarily large family. One day, he lay down and pondered, “what shall I do now? Food is scarce and nobody seems to be prepared to cast away even a morsel for a poor person to console himself with. That is just terrible.”

    It so happened in the evening that children crowded around him and started crying: “Father, Father, please father, what shall we eat? We are feeling hungry.” Hyena did not know what to tell the children. Could he tell them the truth, that he himself wouldn’t mind eating one of them if he had a chance of doing so. “Well, well,” he said as he pushed the children aside and turned to his wives. “Come here my women. I am going out hunting. I want you to take care of these children as best as you can. See what you can prepare for tomorrow when I will be away.”

    In the morning, Hyena set out to look for some game in distant places. He walked and walked and came to an uncultivated farmland, where people used to dig pitfalls, for ensnaring game. He looked this way and that way and suddenly he chanced to see spoors of various animals around wondering where the diverse spoors led to, he put out his vicious snout and sniffed the air hungrily, thinking aloud, “I won’t miss a bagging prey for my family today. Then he stooped down and screamed hungrily, Hmmmh”.

    All of a sudden, he made a quick turn about and trotted to the other end of the field. He stopped for a bit and when he looked around again, he saw to his delight a buck trying to hide himself from his sight. Hyena made a fast leap at the buck but the buck bolted and raced for his life. Hyena ran, and ran and ran, but he could not catch up with the nimble buck. Accidentally, he tripped and fell head long into a pit, giving such a yell that one would have thought that the world was coming to an end. He kept on yelling and screaming for help. “wooooi – woi – woi! Waai! – wai! – wai! Brother come back….. please come back and help me out! I assure you I did not mean to catch you………please come back……come back! What will my children eat today, please hee-eelp. I am dying. Heeeiii. Heeeeelp!”

    The more hyena shouted, the faster the buck ran. Thus hyena remained there, howling and screaming the whole night with nobody around to pull him out of the pit. The following morning he felt hungry and thirsty. The whole farmland was enwrapped in such a thick blanket of mist such that one could not see where to step next. Visibility conditions were such that one could easily push one’s hand into the hyena’s mouth. A baboon came by tiptoeing stealthily. On hearing continuous screams, he hurried to the snare to see who was shouting for help. He peered into the pit and Lo! He saw the hyena trapped below. As soon as hyena saw him, he screamed louder. Brother baboon, help, heee-eeelp……. Please help! I am trapped here please pull me out. Baboon turned round and squatted on the edge of the pit, letting his tail dangle below to Hyena and said, “Brother Hyena, you hold tight on my tail now and I will pull you out.”

    Hyena got hold of the tail and Baboon tugged and tugged, until he managed to tow him out of the pit fall. But as soon as Hyena came to the surface, he turned to Baboon and said, “Brother Baboon, I have finished one whole day in this hole without eating anything at all. This was going to be my second day. I have no way out but eat you so as to survive.” Baboon was really puzzled. He started struggling frantically with Hyena, pleading, “please brother Hyena, show mercy on me. Please let me go for the help I have given you? Hyena said firmly, “No!” And when Baboon insisted on talking to him, Hyena warned, “each moment that passes while we talk makes me hungrier. I have said “No” and I won’t let you go.” All right said baboon. “I will let you eat me on condition that by doing so, you don’t endager your own life. You may care to know that unless you take me by the tail and smash me against the tree, I will scream so hard and loud that the whole Baboon world will be alarmed and come to my aid before you eat me in which case you would be the loser. Brother Hyena take my word for it!” Hyena thought about Baboon’s words for a moment and then said sarcastically; “All right I agree with your suggestion.

    In any case, whichever way I eat, you would still go down my throat. Come on then, bring your tail such so as to smash your shaggy head against the tree.” Baboon turned round and grasped him on the tail. No sooner was he swung high in the air than he slipped out of Hyena’s hand and leapt onto the tree, climbing high up to the top. By that time the mist was clearing away.

    Looking down below, Baboon said to hyena, “Now you can tell me, where is your gratitude, brother Hyena?” Hyena got very angry and gnashed his teeth saying, “If you cannot come down voluntarily so that I may eat you, I will cut down this tree with my teeth!”
    Luckily, Baboon saw a tortoise walking past and shouted, brother Hyena, behold there comes the judge of the animals kingdom! Please call him here so that he may come and give his opinion on our case.

    There upon, Hyena hailed Tortoise to come and settle the dispute between himself and baboon. When the tortoise came, Baboon said to him, “I found Brother Hyena stranded in a pitfall over there, then when I asked him what was wrong, he told me that he had been trapped in the snare for one full day. I gave him my tail to hold onto and I managed to pull him out of the hole.

    Now, tell me your worship, is it a sign of gratitude for him to say that he will eat me by all means, even if it would mean cutting down this tree with his teeth? Tortoise considered Baboon’s submission for a while and then said, “come with me Brother Hyena. Let us go and see the pitfall in which you were trapped when baboon found you.” Thus Hyena led tortoise to the pit-fall and when they got there, tortoise said, “Brother Hyena, put your head into the hole so that I can see how difficult it must have been for you to come out.”

    As soon as Hyena stooped into the mouth of the pit-fall, tortoise pushed him down, and he plunged headlong right to the bottom, leaving Hyena still struggling frantically in the pitfall. Tortoise went to Baboon and said, “Brother Baboon, you can come downward go your way. Hyena will help himself out of that pit fall.”

    Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.

    Most people neglect how stylish headboards can change the overall look of their bedrooms. The expensive dressing table with elaborate carvings, the awesome chandelier or the unique wall art will create a style statement in your room but will not offer the real glam.

    If your bed doesn’t have one, it is time to consider the option as it offers a finishing touch to the bed. For those who already have, they can consider updating them to create an interesting focal point. There are limitless ideas available and the only thing that could limit you is the size of the wall behind the top of your bed and, of course, your imagination.

    Here are a few ideas of creating unique headboards;
    •If you already have one, consider reupholstering it with new fabric. Fortunately, you can get affordable fabric in the local stores. For a wooden headboard, paint it a lively colour to excite the space.
    •Create a headboard by hanging a beautiful quilt, rug or carpet above your bed to add colour, texture and pattern to your space. The best places to find a unique quilt are mitumba (secondhand) shops.
    •Use a beautiful curtain rod to hang a curtain fabric above the wall to create a backdrop, which will serve as a headboard. Using fabric for the headboard adds warmth and cosiness to the bedroom. Ensure the fabric is an interesting colour with beautiful patterns to add style to the room.
    •A bookshelf can also make a great headboard. Paint it any colour you fancy and you have a beautiful space to store materials you love reading at night.
    •For your child’s room, a black-board headboard will work well. Create one on the wall using blackboard paint to paint the inside area and moulding to finish the outside edges. Leave sweet messages for your children to wake up to everyday.
    •A gigantic artwork or wall mural can also make for a headboard. The width of the painting should be lesser or equal to the width of the bed for aesthetic perfection.
    •Construct a wooden frame then cover it with a fabric that you love. Put some padding beneath the fabric before you staple it to the frame; and there you have a headboard.
    •Create an arrangement of framed photos grouping them by size, theme or frame colour. This will create an illusion of a headboard.
    •If your bedroom is small, a mirror or mirrors, will make an ideal headboard. Use one mirror in a unique shape or arrange many to create a special glow.

    The choice is yours: You don’t have to run around looking for a headboard. All you need is a bit of creativity and the zest to try things differently.
