I feel sorry for our tutors

~ A typical day in Swahili school ~ A little background... The Swahili word swali means question. Swala means gazelle. Can you see where this is going?

This morning, as I opened up my homework from the previous night, I said to our tutor, "I have a gazelle." To which our tutor replied, "Truly? Where?" as he looked about pretending to search for it. Hmph. Maybe I MEANT to say, "I have a gazelle." Did you think of that? Huh?
