The Brave Man
by
Magdaline Cherotich
In the deep forest where the Ogiek Peoples lived, there were three friends. They found lots of delicious food like fruits, veggies, and meat. The fruits were known as Tongolonok, Keregusiet, Noriek, Siwot, Nderit, Soet, and Nderit.
Two of the friends ate as much as they wanted without thinking about tomorrow. But one friend was different. He thought about the future. He dried meat, hung up fruits, and saved food that could last a long time.
Then, one day, a very long drought came. There was no food left in the forest to eat. But the wise friend had saved plenty. He shared his food with his friends, making sure no one went hungry.
Even though times were hard, they all learned the importance of saving for the future and taking care of the land. The story of the wise friend spread throughout the forest, teaching everyone about living in harmony with nature and being smart about food.
