Jabu walked into class every morning with a black eye. After a while his teacher got worried and asked him about it. Jabu answered, “Our house is very small, Miss. Me, my mother and my father, we sleep in the same bed. Every night my father asks, ‘Jabu are you sleeping?’ I say, ‘no’ and then he hits me and gives me a black eye.”
So the teacher says to him, “When your father asks again, keep dead quiet and don’t answer.”
The following morning, Jabu comes to school and his eye is fine, so the teacher breathes a sigh of relief.
But the day after that Jabu comes back with a black eye again.
“My goodness Jabu, why the black eye again?”
He tells her, “Ma’am, Dad asked me again, ‘Jabu are you sleeping?’ and I shut up and kept dead still. Then my father and my mother started doing… you know…’it’ on the bed. Then my father asks my mother: ‘Are you coming?’ then my mom says, ‘Yes, I’m coming. Are you coming, too?’ and my dad answered, ‘Yes.’
“Not wanting to get left behind, I also answered and said, ‘Wait for me, I’m also coming, let me just put on my shoes!’”
