Mbone and Akinyi were sisters.
They lived with their parents in a beautiful house in Utafiti Town.
The schools were closing and the two girls were very happy.
They would visit their grandmother during the holiday.
Their father gave them a ride in his car.
On the way, they enjoyed watching wild animals and beautiful flowers.
They arrived at their grandparents' home in the afternoon.
They ate sweet potatoes and rice.
In the evening, they visited their grandparents' flower garden.
Akinyi, Mbone and their cousin, enjoyed plucking the flowers and tossing them around.
The following day, they took their grandparents' animals to the field.
The animals grazed peacefully and playfully.
When they were ready to take the animals back home, one cow chased them.
Their father had to rescue them.
Life at their grandparents' home was enjoyable.
Mbone and Akinyi played a lot. They will return the next school holiday.
