Where is Grandmother?
Written by Robert Muponde
Illustrated by Elizabeth Sparg
Early one morning Duma knocked on her grandmother’s door.
Today was Duma’s birthday and Grandmother had made her a red woollen hat as a
gift.
Duma was very excited. A mean-looking hyena opened the door.
“Who are you? Where is Grandmother?” asked Duma. “I am Chidhange, your
grandmother’s brother,” snarled the hyena.
“I ran away a long time ago when she called me a thief and a scavenger.
I have come back to show her I am neither.”
