Folktale - John's Encounter with a Mysterious Girl

Image
John, who lived in a village called Chenjera, was once sent by his father to buy fertilizer in town. His father gave him K10, 000-00. When he arrived in the town, he came across a very beautiful lady whom he had never seen before, shining like a diamond. She was as bright as the sun, as dazzling as fire. Everything seemed to revolve around her as if she were the chosen one, a special person destined for him. When John saw all this, confusion spun in his head, and he couldn't believe his eyes. He touched her shoulder and said, "Hello, Barbie. Where do you live?" The girl responded by teasing him and staring at him with eyes that never blinked. She then followed him closely without saying a word. The girl seemed curious about why this shabby-looking village boy was approaching her. She wanted to find out what he wanted from her. Surprisingly, she asked him, "What do you want from me?"  "I want you to be my girlfriend, kiss, kiss, love to love," he said.
