Silence is Golden
Jabu walked into class every morning with a black eye. After a while his
teacher got worried and asked him about it.
Jabu's answer was: "Our house is very small miss. Me, my mother and my
father, we sleep on the same bed.
Every night my father asks, 'Jabu are you sleeping?'
Then I say, 'No' and he slaps my face and gives me a Black eye.'
So the teacher says to him, "Tonight when your father asks again, keep dead
quiet and don't answer."
The following morning Jabu comes to school and his eye is fine, so the
teacher breathes a sigh of relief. But the day after that Jabu comes back
with a severe black eye again.
"My goodness, Jabu, why the black eye again?"
He tells her: "Mam, Dad asked me again, 'Jabu are you sleeping?' and I shut
up and kept dead still.
Then my father and my mother started moving {you know}, at the same time Mom
was breathing erratically, kicking her legs up frantically and squealing
like a demented hyena on the bed..."
Then my father asks my mother: 'Are you coming?'
My mom says, 'Yes I'm coming, are you coming too?' and my dad answered,
'Yes.'
And because they don't usually go anywhere without me, so,.... I said 'Wait
for me.' "
