Alisimama kwenye kibanda kidogo cha nyanya. "Bei gani, tafadhali?" aliuliza. Mzee aliyekuwa nyuma ya meza alimtazama. "Kwa saladi au kwa mchuzi?" alisema. Ana hakujua la kujibu.
"Kwa saladi," alisema hatimaye. Mzee alipunga kichwa. Alionyesha sanduku moja. "Hizi ni za saladi. Ngumu. Rangi nzuri." Alionyesha sanduku lingine. "Hizi ni za mchuzi. Laini, nyekundu sana, tamu." Alitabasamu. "Nyanya tofauti, kazi tofauti."
Ana alinunua kilo moja kutoka kila sanduku. Mzee alizifunga kwa uangalifu kwenye karatasi. Alimpa limau ndogo kama zawadi. "Kwa saladi yako," alisema.
Alipofika nyumbani, aliketi mezani jikoni na kutazama mfuko wake. Alihisi kama alikuwa amenunua zaidi ya nyanya tu.
