Once upon a time, there lived a Hunter from Mariene village.He lived with his wife, Mwonjiru and his son Gatobu.

1

They had no food to eat, so he decided to go to hunt for food. He walked desperately through a narrow path leading to the forest.

2

After a long cumbersome journey, he met a giraffe tied on a tree. He was very happy because he would have something to feed his family.

3

He thought for a while of what to do with the giraffe.

4

Using his spear, he decided to cut the rope from where it had been tied.

5

After cutting, the giraffe kicked the hunter away and left him sprawling on the ground.

6

He tried to grab the giraffe's tail to stop it from running but it was too powerful for him. At a speed of lightening the giraffe took off.

7

The hunter returned home feeling dejected and frustrated wondering what to take home for his family. How unlucky he was!
