Where did Tshedza’s ball go?
Is it in this big, leafy bush?
AAAAAHHH!!!!
Mmawe!
“Don’t be scared, Tshedza! It’s just Makhulu’s new dog, Banda.”
Banda wags his tail and smiles. It’s fun to play with Banda.
Tshedza is warm in his bed and falling asleep when…
WHOOSH! BANG! CRASH!
tingalingaling…
AAAAAHHH!!!!
Mmawe!
“Don’t be scared, Tshedza! It’s just the big pot falling.”
Mmawe tucks Tshedza back in bed and kisses his forehead.
“Good night, Tshedza.”
What’s in this box near the door?
AAAAAHHH!!!!
Mmawe!
“Don’t be scared, Tshedza! It’s just your new shoes.”
Tshedza likes his new shoes with their red laces.
The sun has gone down and the house is dark… empty… quiet…
Where is everyone?
AAAAAHHH!!!!
Mmawe!
“Don’t be scared, Tshedza! It’s just Baba.”
