only those who brought themselves. Spider wanted to go, but he didn't want to carry himself because he was
lazy.

So, Spider collected all sorts of sticky threads. He spun a very long thread and tied one end to his waist. Then,
he asked his children to each hold onto a part of the thread and hide in different corners of the land. He told
them that when he shouted a special word, they should all pull him towards the sky.

When the day of the feast arrived, Spider shouted the special word. All his children pulled, and Spider was
lifted into the sky. He arrived at the Sky God's feast without carrying himself.

However, the Sky God was wise. He knew Spider's trick. After the feast, when it was time to go down, the
Sky God announced that everyone should jump down. Spider couldn't jump because he would fall. He was
trapped in the sky, all because of his greed and trickery.

SEHEMU B (Alama 35)

ZOEZI II: FASIHI SIMULIZI (Alama 10)

2. Soma hadithi ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali.

Zamani za kale, palikuwa na mbweha mjanja aliyeitwa Mbweha Kichwa. Mbweha Kichwa aliishi karibu na
mto ambako mamba wengi waliishi. Mamba hao walikuwa wakali sana, na hakuna mnyama yeyote
aliyethubutu kuvuka mto peke yake. Mbweha Kichwa alitamani sana kufikia upande mwingine wa mto
ambako kulikuwa na shamba kubwa la mizabibu yenye matunda matamu.

Siku moja, Mbweha Kichwa alipata wazo. Alikwenda ufukweni mwa mto na kuanza kuwapigia kelele mamba.
"Enyi mamba wa mto mkuu! Njoni! Njoni hapa!" Mamba mmoja mkubwa aliinua kichwa chake kutoka majini
na kusema, "Unataka nini, Mbweha? Hatuna muda wa kucheza nawe." Mbweha Kichwa alijibu kwa sauti ya
kusihi, "Mfalme wa mamba, nimekuja na ujumbe kutoka kwa mfalme wa ardhi. Anataka kuhesabu idadi yenu
ili ajue ni kiasi gani cha samaki awatengenezee karamu kubwa." Mfalme wa mamba alisikia neno 'karamu' na
akapendezwa. Alipenda sana kula samaki. Akamwambia Mbweha Kichwa, "Sawa, tutakusaidia. Tuambie
tufanye nini." Mbweha Kichwa akasema, "Pangeni mstari mrefu kutoka hapa ufukweni hadi ufukweni wa pili.
Nitahesabu kila mmoja wenu kwa kukanyaga mgongo wenu."

Mamba walikubali kwa tamaa ya karamu. Walipanga mstari mrefu juu ya maji, migongo yao ikiunda kama
daraja. Mbweha Kichwa alifurahi sana. Alianza kuruka kutoka mgongo wa mamba mmoja hadi mwingine,
akihesabu kwa sauti kubwa: "Mmoja... wawili... watatu..." Aliendelea kuruka hadi alipofika ufukweni
mwingine. Alipofika salama, aliruka chini na kusema, "Asanteni sana, enyi mamba wajinga! Nilikuwa tu
nataka kuvuka mto! Hakuna karamu yoyote!"

Mamba walikasirika sana walipogundua wamepigwa mwereka. Walijaribu kumfuata, lakini Mbweha Kichwa
alikuwa tayari amekimbilia shambani na kuanza kula mizabibu mitamu. Tangu siku hiyo, mamba walimchukia
Mbweha Kichwa na kuwa makini zaidi na wanyama wengine wanaotaka kuvuka mto.

3. Soma sehemu ifuatayo ya hadithi fupi kisha ujibu maswali.

Mlango wa kibanda ukafunguka polepole, na Bi. Zawadi akaingia, uchovu ukisoma usoni mwake. Alikuwa
ametoka shambani, mgongoni akiwa amebeba mzigo mdogo wa kuni, mikononi akiwa ameshika jembe na
kikapu cha mboga. Nyumba ilikuwa kimya. Watoto hawakuwa wamerudi kutoka shule bado. Aliweka mizigo
yake chini na kukaa kwenye kiti cha mbao kilichokuwa kimechakaa. Alifunga macho, akijaribu kutuliza akili
yake iliyojaa mawazo.

Maisha yalikuwa magumu tangu mumewe, Bwana Juma, alipoondoka kwenda mjini kutafuta kazi miaka
mitatu iliyopita. Habari zake zilikuwa haba, na pesa kidogo alizotuma mara chache hazikutosha. Bi. Zawadi
alilazimika kufanya kila kazi – kulima shamba ndogo, kuokota kuni, kuuza mboga sokoni – ili kuhakikisha
watoto wake wanapata chakula na kwenda shule. Shule ilikuwa tumaini lake pekee. Aliamini elimu
ingewakwamua watoto wake kutoka lindi la umaskini waliokuwa wakikabiliana nao.
Mara nyingi aliketi nje ya kibanda chake jioni, akiangalia nyota angani, akimwomba Mungu amlinde mumewe
na kuwapa yeye na watoto wake nguvu ya kuvumilia. Wakati mwingine majirani walimhurumia na kumpa
msaada kidogo, lakini Bi. Zawadi alikuwa mwanamke mwenye utu na hakupenda kuombaomba. Aliamini
katika kufanya kazi kwa bidii. Alifungua macho yake, akapumua, kisha akainuka. Kulikuwa na sahani ya viazi
vilivyosalia kutoka mchana. Alivichukua, akaanza kuvipakua kwenye sahani mbili. Watoto wangekuwa na njaa
watakaporudi.
