Narrative
Hunger Kills a Family in Kitui District, Kenya
Once upon a time, there lived a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Mwikali. They had a young
son, Kioko. Kioko kept a dog for a pet. His dog’s name was Abunwasi. The district
they lived in experienced a famine that led to the death of many people and animals in the
community. It was a severe famine, but Kioko’s parents did all they could to make sure
their son had something to eat. As days went by, there was nothing for the family to eat.
The only source of sustenance was a small pool of muddy water left from a drying well.
One day, Kioko woke up to mourning when he found his father’s dead body
outside their hut. Due to hunger, weakness, and loneliness, Kioko’s mother died four
days after her husband. Young Kioko had to bear the grief alone, and could only turn to
his walking dead dog. A week later, Kioko had to bury the only source of comfort he had
left, his dog. When the muddy pool dried up, Kioko, unbearably hungry, exhumed his
dog and ate it. It was only a matter of hours, and Kioko was dead. It is sad to imagine or
see what famine can do to a family.
