What is your job?, asked the doctor. I am a farmer, replied Mr. Moyo.

Have you any children?, the doctor asked. God has not been good to me. Of 15 born,only 9 are alive, Mr. Moyo answered.

Does your wife work? No, she stays at home.


49/63

I see. How does she spend her day?

Well, she gets up at four in the morning, fetcheswater and wood, makes the fire, cooks breakfast,

and cleans the home. Then she goes to the riverand washes clothes. Once a week she walks tothe grinding mill. After that she goes to thetownship with the two smallest children, where

she sells tomatoes by the road side while sheknits. She buys what she wants from the shops.Then she cooks the midday meal.


50/63

You come home at midday? No, no, she brings the meal to me about three kilometers away.

And after that? She stays in the field to do the weeding, and then goes to the

vegetable garden towater.

What do you do? I go and discuss business and drink with the men in the village.

And after that? I go home for supper which my wife has prepared.


51/63

Does she go to bed after supper?

No, I do. She has things to do around the houseuntil 9 or 10.

But I thought you said your wife doesnt work.

Of course she doesnt work. I told you she staysat home.
