THE FUNERAL THAT TURNED INTO LAUGHTER

In a small village near Kisumu,everyone knew Mama Atieno.She was loud ,dramatic ,and impossible to ignore. If goats entered your farm,she knew who owned them before sunrise. If a couple fought at night,she somehow knew every detail by morning. Children feared her sharp tongue , but deep down , everyone loved her.

So when news spread that Mama Atieno had died peacefully in her sleep at the age of eighty _two , the entire village went silent .

Women cried loudly.

Men shook their heads sadly.

Even the village drunkard claimed ,"A great tree has fallen ."

For three days ,relatives arrived from all over Kenya for the funeral .Tents were set up.Huge sufurias...
