THE OLD MAN AND HIS DAUGHTER

                                   

            Once upon a time there lived an old man and his daughter Chesuruny. One day the old man decided to sell his donkey. Since the market was some distance away he asked his daughter to accompany him. On the way there was a thick forest with a path leading through it to the market. Chesuruny's father decided to go ahead, to see if there was any danger, leaving his daughter to drive the donkey. After traveling for a while she came to a small hut, and being right in the middle of the forest she thought it must be empty. But it wasn't, a group of hyenas inhabited it.

            When Chesuruny reached the hut she decided to spend the night there since it was already dark and she was unaware of its evil occupants. She knocked and the door was opened by one of the hyenas who welcomed her warmly inviting the unsuspecting Chesuruny to have supper. She made herself at home by the fire since it was cold. One of the hyenas locked the door since it was windy but no sooner was it shut than the hyenas pounced on the poor girl an d within a few minutes all that remained of her were her skin, clothes and a few bones.

 

The old man was by this time in the thick of the forest, and being tired, he decided to take a rest. He became restless when Chesuruny failed to turn up and decided to go back and look for her when he came to the small hut; he heard the sound of voices inside it which surprised him greatly. He decided to enter the hut and enquire from whoever was there if they had seen his daughter. He was greatly surprised when, instead of people, he was confronted by hyenas that set on him, intending to kill him. But the old man was experienced at fighting wild animals: a fight ensured and soon he had the upper hand, eliminating all the hyenas one by one.

By Your name writer in Kenya

 

A

 Visitor in Kenya is never short of superlative when describing his trip. An elephant matriarch, a majestic lion, and crimson sunset are vivid images that will remain with the traveler. Here the beauty is vast and varied However, on the many roads in the area, there is an attraction of another kind —the versatile matatu. This name refers to a group of public transport vehicles. Their fascinating characteristics have made them a most popular means of transportation in Kenya.

The origin of the matatu is as interesting as its mode of operation. The first of its kind was a dilapidated Ford Thames model, a remnant of the fleet used by British soldiers in Ethiopia during the Second World War. In the early 1960’s, a Nairobi resident used this jalopy to ferry some friends to the center of the city, asking them to

 Contribute a meager 30 cents each for the fuel.* Soon thereafter, others took note of the financial gain that the old vehicles could bring. Thus, many were converted into 21-passenger carriers, with three parallel wooden benches serving as seats. This format is similar to that of the old bolekajas of Nigeria. Each person paid the original cost of three 10-cent coins per trip. That may explain why the vehicles got the name matatu—from a Swahili word tatu, meaning “three.” Since then, the matatu has undergone a complete metamorphosis, with current models bearing little resemblance to their rattling predecessors. Yes, today’s matatu is a flashy vehicle described .by one Kenyan daily newspaper as a “jet-shaped and rainbow colored projectile.” This is not the product of the cottage industry of the ‘60’s!

iding in a matatu can be an exhilarating experience, especially when

the driver hacks his way through heavy city traffic! Let us take a short trip around Nairobi in a matatu and sample this feeling.

A FAX or facsimile machine is a copier, which will transmit a document by electronic means usually over telephone lines from one location to another. At the distant end it appears as a printed copy, or facsimile, of the original.

 

Almost anything that can be put on paper can be transmitted by facsimile ‑ text, graphs, charts etc, can be sent and also received. Quotations, orders, price‑lists, delivery schedules, specifications, etc, are just a few examples. As originally used it was slow and the quality was certainly poor. The equipment used today takes advantage of today's technology, which means that it is much faster, and of good reproduction. Today, many new special‑purpose systems will transmit a page in as little as 15 seconds; however, all high‑speed transmission equipment is expensive.

 

One of the great advantages of facsimile is the reduction of keyboarding errors because if the original copy is correctly prepared, no farther typing or checking is necessary, and so no carbon copies, envelopes, postage, etc, are required. Also, you will know that the document cannot get lost in the post.

 

These machines have answering devices and other automatic mechanism, which means that they can receive documents without an individual being present and documents, may be sent when phone prices are at a lower rate, such as in the evening. Up until 1987 most electronic mail was transferred on internal networks by individuals companies. However, towards the end of 1987, an American company started to develop, in Great Britain, a public worldwide electronic mail service. It would seem that in the years ahead facsimile will be a major means of transmitting information.
