Part 24

‘’I often go to this village, whenever I want to replenish my market stock. I am surprised I haven’t met you on this route before. Only two weeks ago, I was on this route and I would say it was not a sight to remember. I mean the sight of the place; the river bank that is. I was travelling, but not alone; I was travelling with a male companion; my cousin Iwinosa. and from what I saw two weeks ago, I would say today’s sight of tradesmen and trades ware was not as bad as two weeks ago.’’
