  The ghost in the mortar

  Joshua Buahin

  I come from a big family and everyone has chores to complete before dinner, after my mum and my sisters finish cooking. After making fufu, it was my job to clean the mortar and pistil. Because cassava, after it has been pounded sticks to the mortar, you need to pour water into the mortar to make is soft before you can clean it. This process often extends the cleaning process and often I would be very hungry and I would think about postponing the cleaning till the next day but I wouldn't dare. Growing up one of the folklores I was told was, if you leave the water in the mortar till the next day, you would see a reflection of a ghost in the water that fills the mortar. I was scared sick of that folklore that I would literally clean the mortars as quickly as possible right after the fufu was done being pounded. Now that I am old and wise I know it was a good story to get me to do my cleaning because leaving stuff uncleaned is unhygienic. It was a great way to morally learn such a wonderful principle of cleanliness.

  The Light Went Out

  Mary Martin-Djurich

  Missionaries are always kept in groups of at least two of the same gender (called 'companions'), occasionally three if there is an uneven number in the area that they proselyte in. They have a rigorous schedule laid out for them, which includes: waking up early, exercising, studying the scriptures (individually and together), and so on throughout the day. This story happened while the two missionaries were studying the scriptures together. Zone leaders are missionaries put in charge of other missionaries. Similar to Jesus exorcising spirits in the New Testament when the missionaries felt possessed the zone leaders commanded the spirit to go away.
