A great narrative story based on an African child called Wenga during the colonial era. Wenga, the only son of Amando, would like to play with his toys like any other child & also ride a bicycle. Money to buy children's toys, especially a bicycle, was scarce then. His father Amando worked on the farm with Wenga's three other sisters while Wenga went to school. What happens when Wenga refuses to listen to his mother & sneaks out with his red wooden bike in the rainstorm to see his friend, not eating his dinner? How did his mother handle the situation? And how did Wenga's dad Amando handle the matter when he returns home with Wenga's three sisters. "Great story, mainly focused on discipline of a child in the household, exemplary story on children's moral discipline."

Harris, Cauldrons Book Proofreader). Also available on cassette in the future.
