Once more, Fati
looked at her mother.

Her mother was not looking her way. She was cutting green okro
for the soup.

Fati very quickly took a third piece of meat from the pot and ate
that too.

"Mmm. Mmm. Mmm!" said Fati.

Mother came to the fire with the green leaves,
eggs and okro.

Fati was still holding the big wooden spoon.
