Musau and his father
Ursula Nafula
Benjamin Mitchley
Musau lived with his father, Syonzola.
Syonzola went to drink alcohol every day.
Syonzola came home drunk.
He called, "Help! A hyena is killing me."
The people came running.
But, there was no hyena.
Syonzola did this every night.
Every time Syonzola shouted, Musau woke up.
One night, a hyena waited for Syonzola.
Syonzola cried, "Help!"
People said, "We are tired. He is tricking us."
Musau waited. His father did not arrive.
"My father is really in danger," Musau said.
"Father! Father!" Musau called.
The hyena was pulling his father's leg.
From that day, Syonzola changed.
He began telling stories to children.
