1
God created the tortoise, man and stones. Of each he created male and female. He gave life to tortoise and man, but not to the stones. None could have children but when they became old, they did not die, but became young again.
The tortoise, however, whished to have children, and went to God. But God said, ‘I have given you life but I have not given you permission to have children. You always come and ask for children. Do you not realize that when living things have had several children they must die?’
But the tortoise said, ‘let me see my children and die. So God granted his wish.’When man saw that the tortoise had children he too wanted children. God warned man, as he had
the tortoise, that he would die if his wish was granted. But man also said, ‘let me see my children and then die.’That’s how death and children came into the world. Only the stones did not want to have children,
and so they never die.

Read the following narrative and answer the questions that follow.
An Old Woman and her Deformed Son
There was an old woman whose children died in infancy and only a deformed boy survived to grow into adulthood. The boy was a hunchback.Although the old woman loved this hunchback son of hers, she was secretly ashamed of his physical appearance. She was so ashamed that each day she was on the look – out for visitors who might come around just to make fun of him. To keep him away from the public eye, she used to confine him in a drum most of the time. So, right from his childhood the boy grew up in a drum . He was taken out only a few times during the day when the old woman was sure that there were likely to be no intruders around. When the boy attained circumcision age, he was duly circumcised. After circumcision he said to the old woman, “Mother, I now want a wife, can you please find me a girl to marry!” “Yes, my son”, said the old woman. “I will try. I am indeed very pleased to learn that you are already thinking of a wife.”By and by, the old woman went to look for a suitable girl to marry her son. She approached a pretty girl and asked her whether she would be interested in marrying her son and the girl, promised to think about it. Without disclosing her son’s physical defects to the girl, the old woman set about wooing her intensively. She brought all sorts of gifts to her mother, helped the girl to collect firewood and even helped her with the work in the shamba. Reluctantly the girl gave in and there upon requested the old woman to make the necessary arrangements so that she would meet the future husband. The old woman cunningly suggested that the girl should accompany her to her house where she would be able to meet the boy.
The old woman lived a long way from the girl’s village. On the day when the girl decided to visit her prospective bridegroom, she walked and walked until sunset. It was a very long journey indeed. When she eventually arrived, the old woman pretended that the young man was around and would appear shortly. The girl waited and waited but the boy did not appear at all. At bed time the girl was told that the boy was already in bed sleeping. She was shown a separate place to sleep, and thus no opportunity to either see or talk to the boy as would have been expected of people who were planning to live together. Very early in the morning the girl asked the old man, “ Please, where is the boy you want me to marry?” and the woman replied, “ My son woke up early in the morning and went to work in a different village yonder so that he can earn something for your bride price”
Although the girl was visibly disappointed, she tried to conceal her sentiments and appear to be at home with everything around the house. The old woman and the girl went to cultivate in a banana grove. While they were away the boy jumped out of the drum and busied himself about the house with the little chores singing:
Khanenuya munju, mwange, Khanenuye munju mwangeMkhasi nakikhali misilu, maji kakuombelesay musecha kacha Khuema, abele khuchuma nacha sina?Menyile, mukhang’oma, kurumba kuli khumukongo(Let me busy myself in my house. Aren’t women foolish? Mother fooledher. “Your husband has gone to work.” How could I have gone to work? I just live in my little drum because I have a hunchback.)
The girl heard the boy’s singing but it was so faint that she would neither comprehend the meaning of the song nor even make out as to which direction the sound came from. However, out of curiosity she stopped from time to time and listened. This went on for several days until she started to guess the meaning of the words in the song. On getting the message home, she was quite disturbed. Her suspicion was strengthened by the fact that each morning they left for the shamba without sweeping or washing utensils but on their return they found everything tidy about the house. One day she deceived the old woman by telling her that she was going to attend to the call of nature while in fact her intention was to discover the house and stood listening keenly at the door. She got really upset with the boy’s derogatory song. She pondered with herself, “ So this is my husband to be? A hunch back confined to drum? No wonder the old woman deceived me the way she did. What girl in proper senses could marry a man like that? Anyway what can I do now? I must put an end to this continued bluff…..”
5
One morning she said to the old woman, “Mother, today will you go to look for firewood while I go to the plantation alone?” The old woman said, “Yes, my daughter, we can share work that way.” She had grown so used to the cheerful and friendly manner of the girl, thinking that she would not mind staying on as her daughter – in law even after discovering that her son was deformed. Indeed she was already contemplating making the revelation to her.
And so each went her separate way. But as soon as the old woman vanished from sight the girl dashed back and stood at the door which had now become a familiar ground for spying on the hunchback. She listened briefly as the boy sang mischievously inside the house. Then she stole a quick glance peeping through a side hole.To her amazement, she saw that he was a real hunchback! Quite oblivious, the boy went on sweeping the floor and singing. The girl felt that she could no longer stand it. She broke into the house suddenly with the intention of beating up the mischievous fellow. But before she could get hold of him he dodged nimbly and slipped back into the drum. Nonetheless, the girl fuming with anger picked up the drum and smashed it on the floor. A pool of blood started oozing from the broken drum. The poor hunchback was dead.Considering it appropriate revenge on the old woman the girl felt no remorse for the action she had taken. She rolled over the cold body of the hunchback as a lump of anger swelled up in her throat. When the old woman returned home and found the mess she had done in the house she screamed at the top of her voice, “ 00h , oh…. Uuuuwee…. Uuuuweeeeeee!” But it was all in vain. The deformed boy whom she had been ashamed of showing to the public was dead and gone forever! Yes, instead of feeling relieved by the burden of shame she now felt great anguish for this loss. After killing the hunchback the girl also disappeared never to be seen again. The poor old woman remained there weeping and feeling quite forlorn.

Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.
Bury me in a free land
Make me a grave whatever you will,
In a lowly pain, or a lofty hill;
Make it among earth’s humblest graves’
But not in a land where men are slaves.
I could not rest if a round my grave
I heard the steps of a trembling slave;
His shadow above my silent tomb
Would make it a place of fearful gloom.
I could not rest if I heard the tread
Of a gang to the shambles led,
And the mother’s shriek of wild despair.
Rise like a curse on trembling air.
By France Watkins Harper (USA)

Farewell Achebe, the literary giant who wrote with a feathery touch
We lionise people too much when they die in this part of the world. But Chinua Achebe richly deserves all the praise he is getting.
The other literary giants of his age – Wole Soyinka and Ngugi wa Thiong’o – are both great in their own ways.
But the one thing that struck me about Achebe is that he seemed to write with a smile on his face. There was a playful sense of mischief. His sense of humour while addressing serious issues made him thoroughly readable.
I didn’t enjoy Things Fall Apart, possibly because I read it too young. I found Okwonkwo’s end too tragic at an age when all the stories I had heard about community heroes concluded in emphatic triumph.
The creditorBut for no particular reason, the story I remember most is the episode where an angry
creditor comes knocking on the door of Okwonkwo’s father, Unoka.The creditor was thoroughly worked up while Unoka was a picture of calm. After listening
to his creditor’s charges, Unoka pointed to a wall where he showed him several sticks he had drawn indicating how many sacks of yam he owed other people.
“I have many debtors who I owe far more than you but they have not come knocking on my door at dawn,” he said, though that’s not an exact quote (I’m writing this from the memory of books read as a teenager; the literary expert will write more accurate reviews). Here is Achebe addressing the subject of the balance between rashness and bravery in, I think, Anthills of the Savannah. “The coward watches the funerals of his brave neighbour from the dung heap in his compound.” You will struggle to find such multilayered wisdom away from Achebe.
Was it in A Man of the People where a thief barges at the door and the victim simply cries: “God will not agree!” The voice, with a Nigerian accent, pops directly from the page to your ears as you read it.
Something that unites the great writers of Achebe’s era is their direct political activism.The best recent summary of this is to be found in Soyinka’s excellent semi-autobiographical work,
You Must Set Forth at Dawn.The book offers a vivid portrait of the tragedy that is modern Nigeria. Through all the dramas of
coups and wars, the writers were never far from the action.Sadly, the ethnic tensions that will be familiar to Kenyans are never far from the surface.
Soyinka, a proud Yoruba, opposed the Biafra secession movement. Achebe, an Igbo, sided with Biafra. Soyinka tried to organise a conference of writers from both camps that would send a strong message of unity as the nation headed towards war. The Achebe camp boycotted, he writes. (I will now have to look for Achebe’s There was a Country to get his own version of events).
In Kenya, writers such as Ngugi wa Thiong’o and Micere Mugo were at the forefront in searching for solutions to the problems society faced, something that holds lessons for the current generation of writers.
Chimamanda Ngozi AdichieMy former colleague Munyori Buku attended a talk by Achebe at university where he told
them: oyiina kaenacho, zumarizu (where one thing stands, another stands beside it). Having not touched a work of fiction for a decade, I will test that proverb by reading Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun, which was recommended by Prof. Egara Kabaji in yesterday’s paper.
Meanwhile, we should celebrate, not mourn, Achebe. He achieved a feat only a few dozen people ever will. His work belongs in the category of “permanent literature”. It will be read for as long as man lives.
