Over the weekend, Muigai and his family visited a bee farm. He brought back some treats that he bought to share with his friends.
“How is honey harvested?” Cherono asks Muigai.
“I did not see the process; children were not allowed around the hives. I did see the farmers dressed in full-body suits to prevent them from getting stung.” Muigai says, passing around sweets made of honey.
“I don’t think I’d be brave enough to go near a hive, even with a bee suit on,” Musyoki confesses.

“Speaking of bravery, have you guys heard of the warrior Otenyo Nyamantere?” Cherono asks.
“Nope!” they all answer in unison.
“He was a Kisii warrior from Nyamira,” Cherono answers as she stands, puffs her chest out, and with a deep voice, makes a warrior cry. They all laugh hysterically.
"Otenyo Nyamantere defended his people against the British; they called them the Nyarigoti. The tragic end to this warrior is that after defeat, he went into hiding for months but was one day found beheaded." Muigai adds to the Nyamira story with an anecdote of his own.
