"My father's arm has been shriveled for many long rains and the only explanation he has received is that Ngai works in mysterious ways. He has been given no special senses to make up for it for if he had been he would surely know about them by now. " Kimanti looked at me thoughtfully. "It is an interesting story Koriba and I am sorry for the King of the Zebras but I think a new god must come along and kill Ngai very soon. " There we sat the wise old _mundumugu_ who had a parable for every problem and the foolish young _kehee_ -- an uncircumsized boy -- who had no more knowledge of his world than a tadpole in total opposition to each other.

To the best of my knowledge none of the villagers had made the pilgrimage to Haven so no Maintenance ship should have been sent to Kirinyaga. But the fact remains that one moment the sky was clear and blue and the next there was a streak of light. sdrgsr6g4993459iosdik
