After the story, Mapuii, Jojo and others were walking back home.
‘She shouldn’t have asked a stupid question like that’ said a girl. ‘She made the wise old man angry.’ said another.
‘What else can we expect’ said Mapuii. ‘She has no manners. Have you noticed her dress? always shabby and wrinkled. I wonder if she even takes a bath.’ The girls giggled. ‘That’s why we never let her sit or eat among us’ said a girl.
‘Yes. Have you seen the place she lives in? No hand pumps, no toilets, no drains, the whole area stinks. Besides, the animals and people take bath in the same pond.’
‘Yuck!!’ said Jojo. Jojo recalled an incident some days ago when Afaki had offered her a ride on her father’s bicycle. She felt relieved that she had refused Afaki; otherwise what would Mapuii and the other girls think of her if they saw her on the same cycle with Afaki.
