Upendo was avery beautiful girl who was admired by many people for her beauty and charm. Upendo was als,o hard working_ at home and upheld the respect_ for people. However her friends were very jealous of her and always ill-:-treated her. One day her friends were going to visit a reputed specialist to have their teeth filed, spaced and beautified. Upendo joined the girls. They all had their teeth beautifully done and the girls looked very attractive and charming but no one looked as pretty as Upendo. The specialist praised Upendo's teeth and beauty and added that she had natural beauty and charm in everything. This annoyed the girls. On their way home, they met some young men in the forest. Those young men ·admired Upendo's teeth. This made the girls become angry as they were already very jealous of ') ---· Upendo's beauty. They all agreed to getrid of Upendo, by · burying her alive in a hole which was somewhere in the forest. It was now suggested that they should all enter the .forest gather some fire)Vood to take back home. As was the custom, they always brought ·some- firewood with them. They all agreed to go and gather. firewood and Upen4o was partiql.llarly ·�ager to take some home. After the girls had collected the firewood, they set off for home. When they reached the hole in the forest, they pushed Upendo in it so quickly that she did not have time to scream. They sealed the hole very carefully and so buried her alive. On their way home, they did not talk to anybody about Upendo. That evening Upendo did - not return home. Her parents went about asking Upendo's friend if they had been with Upendo or if they had seen her that day. They all denied having been with her or having seen her. Her parents,walked all over the village in search of her. All this time Upendo was crying bitterly .at the bottom of the hole in the forest. Her absence caused so much concern that her father had to consult diviners and seers to find out what had happened to his daughter, but he did not succeed. Upendo's brother knew all the time that most of the girls in the village had been:jealous of his sister and hated her, so he suspected foul play. He left home and started out to- search for his sister. He traced the route which the girls had taken on their way from the specialist. When he came upon the hole, he noticed footmarks and a bundle of firewood abandonep. nearby. He then heard his sister's voice and confirmed that, she had been buried there by her friends. He started digging frantically and removing the soil until he found his sister who was in good ·shape. Upendo recounted what her friends had done to her. The girls who had tried to kill Upendo were taken before elders and their case was heard and judgement was passed. Page 2 of7 ."-· �'
