SECTION 2
COMPREHENSION: (20 MARKS)

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.

BATTLE AT THE MANDAZI KIOSK

There was a nasty fight at the shopping centre this morning. I watched it all and I thought it was
rather silly and sad. I mean, why should two grown-up human beings fight in public, like
cockerels, over a little matter which they can settle through a simple discussion. Anyway, it all
started with Mwakawago, the bicycle mechanic, going up to Amina’s kiosk and ordering two
mandazi. He gave Amina fifty shillings and she gave him the mandazi. When Mwakawago
asked for his change, Amina told him there was no change. Mwakawago could not believe his
ears. He knew that mandazi cost twenty shillings each, and he expected change of ten shillings
from his fifty shillings

“What do you mean?” he asked Amina.

“The price has gone up to twenty-five shillings each,” said Amina simply.
“When did you raise the price? Why didn’t you tell us?” asked Mwakawago angrily.
“Well, I am telling lyo now,: retorted Amina. “Where would I find the time to go ttelling
every Ali, Cherono and Oyango about price changes?”
“Why didn’t you put up a public notice? You thief,: bellowed Mwakawago fiercely, “You
went rob me in broad daylight”
:”I’m not a thief,” Amina reiterated.
“Maybe your mother is”
“What did you say?” asked Mwakawago, his voice thick with threat.
Amina tightened the knot on the leso round her hips, looked Mwakawago straight in the eye
and said, “You have no right to come here and call me a thief when I am just going about my
business. If you do not want my mandazi, just give them back and take your lousy money”
“And where does my mother come in?” asked Mwakawago furiously.
“Go and ask her,” Amina shouted back.

 Flying into a rage, Mwakawago threw the mandazi straight into Amina’s face.
Then he grabbed her by the front of her blouse and pulled her from behind the low table on
which her basket of mandazi sat. In the struggle they upset the table, and the basket and mandazi
scattered in the dust all over the road. Mwakawago slapped Amina twice, spitting a stream of
insults at her at the same time.

Just then Amina gave Mwakawago three sharp kicks on the shins and he reeled back, yelling in
pain and letting go of Amina’s blouse. Amina picked up a pot of boiling oil and aimed it at
Mwakawago. Luckily it missed him. Then Amina grabbed a knife and dashed at Mwakawago,
who had picked up a huge stone and was threatening to hurl it at her.

Fortunately, a small crowd of neighbours who had gathered around the combatants restrained
them just in time. Mama Kivumbi, the vegetable seller got hold of Amina and tried to calm her
down. Mwakawago was held back by Simiyu from the carpentry workshop and Maneno, the
barber. Amina and Mwakawago kept yelling insults at each other. Eventually, Karimi, the
charperson of the market Traders’ Association, was called. She asked everyone to be quiet so
that they could resolve the conflict in a reasonable manner.
“First,” Said Karimi, “how did this whole thing begin?’

It was, however, not easy to get a clear picture of what exactly had happened. Amina insisted
that Mwakawago had attacked her without any provocation, Mwakawago, on the other hand, just
kept saying that Amina had insulted his mother, and tried to cheat him.

In a short time, the crowd of traders and other bystanders was divided into two groups. One
group supported Mwakawago and said that Amina was in the wrong. She had provoked
Mwakawago, especially by insulting his mother. The other group, however, argued that it was
Mwakawago who was at fault. He had no business going round slapping innocent traders in
their kiosks and scattering their mandazi on the road. Karimi listened patiently to the arguments
from each side.

 After a while she said, ‘I am glad we are all discussing this matter rationally. Maybe if
Amina and Mwakawago had talked over their differences, this unfortunate fight need not have
taken place.”

“Madam,” said Simiyu, “these two were tearing at each other like wild cats. I think they
should both be disciplined”
“That may be important, Simiyu,” answered Karimi, “but I think reconciliation and an
amicable understanding is what Amina and Mwakawago need most now:.

Finally, it was agreed that Karimi and a few fellow traders would help Amina and
Mwakawago resolve their differences in the privacy of Karimi’s shop. As Amina, Mwakawago
and the team of peacemakers headed for Karimi’s shop, the crowd dispersed.

UFAHAMU ( ALAM 15)

Rita na Evelyn walikuwa marafiki wa chanda na pete kwa muda mrefu. Waliishi katika mtaa wa Kibokoni
jijini Mombasa. Evelyn alikuwa mwanafunzi wa masomo ya uhazili katika chuo kimoja pale mjini. Naye
Rita alifanya kazi ya ukarani papo hapo mjini. Waliishi kidugu katika chumba kimoja walichopanga pale
mtaani.
Ingawa marafiki hawa walishirikiana kwa kila njia katika shughuli za upishi, kupiga deki, kufagia, kufua
na kazi nyinginezo za nyumbani, aliyekuwa akitoa msaada mkubwa zaidi alikuwa ni Rita. Rita alikuwa na
mazoea ya kutunza pesa zake vyema. Aidha alijua maana ya haba na haba hujaza kibaba. Alijua kuwa
Evelyn, kama mwanafunzi, hakuwa na uwezo wa kuyakidhi baadhi ya mahitaji yake. Alijitolea sabili hata
kumnunulia Evelyn nguo, viatu na vim vingine alivyohitaji. Mara nyingine ilibidi Rita kulipa kodi ya
nyumba peke yake kwa vile mwenzake hangeweza kupata pesa kwa wakati. Hakuwahi hata siku moja
kumkera wala kumtesa Evelyn kwa jinsi yoyote ile. Fauka ya hayo, hakuwahi kumsemesha vibaya wala
kuonyesha dharau kwake. Aliamini kama wanavyosema watu kuwa dunia rangi rangile, huenda siku moja
atahitaji kusaidiwa yeye pia. Siku kama hiyo atamtegemea Evelyn, mwandani wake.
Evelyn alipomaliza masomo yake alikuwa na bahati ya mtende. Alipata kazi nzuri mara moja katika
kampuni moja ya maffita papo hapo jijini. Lakini muda si muda, mambo ya ajabu yalianza kutokea. Baada
ya kupata kazi yenye kipato kizuri, kichwa cha Evelyn kilianza kufura mfano wa kaimati. Badala ya
kunisaidia mwenzake katika kazi za pale nyumbani pamoja na gharama za maisha, alifhatilia raha za jijini
kwa kuamini ule msemo wa ponda raha kufa kwaja. Rita alipomwuliza alimjibu kwa ukali, “Nikusaidie
nini? Sasa si kama wakati nilipokuwa mwanafunzi. Kila mtu ana pesa zake.Ala!”
Rita hakumwelewa tena Evelyn.Isistoshe, alianza kumwibia Rita vitu vyake wakati alipokuwa hayupo
nyubani. Mara kwa mara Rita aligundua kuwa pesa alizokuwa ameficha sehemu Fulani nyumbani
zimedokolewa. Alipomwuliza, Evelyn alikujajuu, “Unafikiri mimi sina pesa? Unadhani ni wewe tu
uliyeajiriwa?” Rita alizidi kushangaa, Muda wote alioishi na kumfadhili rafiki yake aliamini kuwa atamlipa
mema. “Kumbe fadhila za punda ni mateke?” Alijiuliza Rita. Baada ya muda, urafiki wao ulivunjika na
Evelyn akahamia mtaa wa Furaha alikoendelea na maisha yake ya starehe na ureda.

Hata hivyo mambo yalianza kumwendea mrama Evelyn. Wakubwa wake kazini hawakupendezwa najinsi
alivyoendesha shughuli zake pale ofisini. Mara nyingi alifika kazini akiwa amechelewa na kila wakati
alitoa vijisababu mbalimbali ambavyo havikumridhisha yeyote. Aidha, alipokuwa ofisini hakufanya mengi
isipokuwa kutembea kutoka ofisi hii hadi nyingine akiwasumbua watu kazini mwao. Mara kwa mara
alionekana akisinzia wakati wenzake walipokuwa wakichapa kazi. Lakini lililowakera zaidi wakuu wa
kampuni hiyo ya mafuta ni jambo fulani lililoanza kutendeka pale. Vitu vya watu vilianza
kupoteapotea.Mara mfanyikazi huyu anapoteza saa yake, mara mwingine anapoteza pesa, mara hiki mara
kile. Wakuu walipoyatupa mawazo yao nyuma wakagundua kuwa mambo haya yalianza kutendeka mara
tu alipowasili Evelyn. Wakaamua kumwekea mtego. Evelyn alioshikwa kimasomaso akidokoa mkoba wa
msichana mwenzake. Mkoba huo ulikuwa umeaehwa juu ya dawati kimakusudi ili kumvuta Evelyn.
Evelyn alifutwa kazi papo hapo. Fauka ya hayo, alitiwa mikononi na kukabidhiwa poisi waliomtupa
korokoroni. Kesho yake Evelyn alifikishwa mahakamani na kushtakiwa kwa kosa la wizi. Alitozwa faini
ya shilingi elfu tano au kifungo cha miezi sita. Hakuwa na pesa zozote za kulipia faini hii. Akawekwa
rumande. Hata rafiki mmoja hakuwa naye wa kumuauni katika wakati huo wa majaribu.
Kwa bahati, Rita alisikia kuhusu kadhia hiyo.Hakupoteza muda. Akashika njia moja kwa moja hadi kituo
cha polisi. Mpango ukafanywa na akamlipia. Evelyn ile faini. Evelyn alipoachiliwa hum akashangaa.
“Yaani nimesamehewa ama nini?”Aliuliza.“La. Hujasamehewa.Faini uliyotozwa imelipwa na msichana
yule.” Evelyn akageuka na kumwona Rita. Alimtazama kwa muda bila kujua la kusema. Mwishowe
alimsogea kisha wakakaribiana polepole na kukumbatiana. Machozi yakaanza kumdondoka Evelyn, nde!
Nde! Nde! Akalia kilio cha uchungu na soni. Akamwomba Rita msamaha, “Nisamehe, sikujua nililokuwa
nikifanya.Nilidhani kuwa baada ya kupata kazi sitahitaji tena urafiki wako. Haya yaliyonipata
yamenifunza,” alisema kwa masikitiko. “Evelyn, kijengacho mtu ni uth na tabia,” alisema Rita.“Ni kweli
rafiki yangu” alitamka Evelyn, Sasa nimejitia kwenye shida.Hata kazi yangu nzuri nimeipoteza.Sina
mahali pa kuishi. Itabidi nirudi kijijini kwa baba na mama. Kwaheri rafiki yangu naasante kwa yote
uliyofanya.”“La! Hutaondoka”. Rita alimwambia lcwa dhati, “Tutakwenda nawe nyumbani mwangu
tukaishi pamoja kama zamani. Nitayagharamia mahitaji yako yote hadi utakapopata kazi”.
Basi Rita na Evelyn wakaungana tena na kuishi vizuri katika nyumba ile ile mtaani Kibokoni. Kweli
akufaaye kwa dhiki ndiye rafiki.
