Akai's Special Mat

- Ursula Nafula

Akai was a clever child. She discovered where the nearest shallow well was. Akai also knew where her grandmother's manyatta was located. She often went to drink camel milk with her grandmother. One day, Akai was not so lucky. She left to go to her grandmother's manyatta, but she got lost in the hills. Akai was afraid. She sat under an edome tree and waited for help. Soon she fell asleep and had a dream.This is what Akai dreamed. She was lying on her special mat. A woman who looked like her grandmother was watching over her. The old woman smiled and gave her a bowl of camel milk. Just when Akai stretched out her hand to take the milk, she woke up. Akai opened her eyes slowly. When she looked up, she saw a small blue bird on a branch above her.
