“Yes, yes, don’t bother us with details,” said the King. “If the man fits the case, do it.”
And so the little onion-seller was hanged, and justice done and was seen to be done in King Firdy’s land.
Far away in the countryside, the onion-seller’s wife and his four children waited and waited. By the evening time, the onion-seller’s wife sighed and resigned in making the onion soup once again.
“Ah well… she said, “there will be nothing good coming to us from the palace of King Firdy today! Let us pray.”

Writer Profile
Mbũrũ
I am a researcher on educational issues especially in the rural areas, with much emphasis on girls' education.
As a trained journalist, I have a lot of concern with the handling of the education sub-sector in Kenya and take a critical role in viewing the reforms currently being conducted to integrate education structures for the sake of the youth in Kenya.
One major aspect, sadly, is that Kenya has been sovereign for over four decades but has been the only African country besides Somalia not to have made education compulsory, free and basic. For Somalia it can be understood - the country had been in civil strife since 1992- but for Kenya the politics of the day have played a negative role in reducing the promotion of education to a system sheer competition, instead of progressive
Apart from that, I write fictitious literature.
Currently I am working on prose on love and betrayal and a collection of poems.
