Read the following passage carefully.
Sometimes I go to the city with my mother and sisters and aunts in a wagon pulled by four mules. The women wear their best blankets and best neck rings and very good leg rings, of course. I am always happy to see the city people stare at my mother and relatives because the city folk have nothing so good as the Ndebele women.
All their houses are in one sad colour and the women I see have no beads at all. I feel sorry for them and I give them a good smile. It must help because they laugh.
I wonder, if little brothers in your village are as mischievous as my little brother?
He wears a sun cap because he is supposed to tend the sheep, but he is so mischievous that sometimes I would like to give him away, to someone far, far away to a good person. (Painted House, Friendly Chicken and Me)
