The story of Akenya, the family cow.

Thread...

A long time ago in the village of Buchenya, there lived a man and his wife.

The man was called Omuchenya, from the abachenya clan while his wife was called Nabakolwe from the abakolwe clan.

They lived in a simple mud hut in their farm.

#StoryTime

They met in a traditional harvest ceremony where their love simmered like food boiling in an African pot.

Their families and clans approved of their marriage and gave them the green light to get married.

They quickly moved into their matrimonial home with pomp and ululation. They were the talk of the village.

They would walk together in matching fabric. Omuchenya would be seen holding Nabakolwe's waist and hands in a public display of Affection.

This couple owned a cherished possession. Akenya, the cow.

They loved this cow.

It is believed that they all contributed 50/50 in the purchase of this cow.

Akenya gave birth and the family began enjoying fresh milk from her.

Omuchenya had a different idea. He opined that since one cup of milk is enough, the rest can be sold to generate revenue for the family.

"Darling, we need a better house," he told his wife.

She did not like this idea. She wanted all the milk. This standoff soon became a conflict.

The man was now getting worked up. The wife was not pregnant.

"Instead of developing capital D, you are developing capital C", he charged.

" You are impotent", she charged back.

"You have a small dick!"

"You have a barren womb!"

"You are alcoholic!"

"Tell your god to heal your barrenness."

"There is nothing you will tell me you foolish man!"

"Woman, I am the man of this house, respect me!"

"I cannot respect a man with a small penis!"
