Juma was a poor young man. He lived in Runogone village. His friend was Kanini.

Kanini was good to Juma and all the villagers liked her.

Juma had a very big farm but he did not plant anything on it.

Every day Juma begged for food from the villagers.

No one gave him food except Kanini and one couple.

Kanini told Juma, "Stop being lazy my friend. You have a big farm."

Another day Kanini said, "If you cannot farm, look for a job before you die of hunger."

"I have been looking for a job for a long time without success," Juma answered.

The next day Juma went to work on his farm.

When Kanini visited, she found Juma on his farm.

From then, Juma worked hard as a farmer. He never begged again. He never went hungry again.

Kanini continued to support Juma as he worked on his lang.

At least, Juma could now support himself.

He could also help those who once helped him.
