He Never Did It Again

Buze stopped breastfeeding today (she is going back to Wolisso tomorrow) and her breasts were sore. Phillipa had once said that if you put raw cabbage on your breast it will stop the milk faster. So she went out with Alemu after dinner and got cabbage – only she got lettuce. It was getting dark really fast so she hurried back out to get the right one. When she got back she told Tesfanesh that Israel had given her one birr (dollar) for bread. Luckily there hadn’t been any available. Tesfanesh’s answer was (which surprised me) that if she had given him bread then she wouldn’t get dinner. Whoa…all right! Finally I’m not the only bad guy in town.
