A sad family
A woman called Mrs Bulbul lives near us. Once she had
eight children: Anna, Frances, Daniel, Flora, Friday, Edith,
Jonathan and a baby, Wawa. Flora and Jonathan are
dead. Now she has six.
These children are not big. They cannot run well. They
do not help their mother. They are dirty. They do not work.
They are not happy.
14
Wawa is six months old. He is not fat. He is very thin.
Little Wawa is often ill. He cannot sit up. His eyes are big.
His belly is big. He does not talk but he often cries.
Why are Wawa and the other children thin? Why are
they not happy? Why are they often ill? Because Mrs
Bulbul does not give them good food.
15
Mrs Bulbul gives her children the same food every day.
She gives them cold food because she only cooks one big
pot of food each day.
Mrs Bulbul does not get food from her garden. There is
nothing in it. She gets sugar and flour from the shop. She
pays a lot of money. She gets only a little food for her
money. The food is always the same.
16
Mrs Bulbul does not give Wowo her milk. She gives him
milk from a tin. She buys the tin in the shop. The tin always
costs a lot of money. Milk from a tin is not very good for
babies. Mrs Bulbul does not know this.
Wawa is thin and ill. He is not happy because he does
not get milk from his mother. He does not get mashed food.
He does not get cooked food. He does not get different
food. He only gets milk from a tin.
17
One day Mrs Bulbul came to see our mother. She
asked:
“Why does Wawa cry and Yumyum laugh?
Why is Wawa thin and Yumyum fat?
Why are your children happy yet my children cry?
Why are your children always well and my children
often ill?
Why are your children strong and my children weak?
Why do your children help you? My children do not
help me.”
18
Mother asked: "Do you give Wawa your milk and some
mashed food? Do you give your children food many times
a day? Do you give your children different foods every
day? Do you get food from your garden?"
Mrs Bulbul answered: "No, I do not do any of these
things."
"But you must do all these things," our mother said.
"I cannot," Mrs Bulbul said. "I have a lot to do. I cook
the pot of food. I clean my house and get water. I go to the
town and talk to my friends. I buy cloth and take it to the
tailor. I have no time to get food. When I come home, it is
night. I go to sleep."
19
Mother said: "What does Anna do? She is ten. She
does not go to school. She can help you." Then she said:
"Elizabeth goes to school. She can help you after school
and in the holidays."
I said to Anna: "I am going to help you to plant
spinach, beans, onions, carrots, tomatoes, and other things
in your garden. The rain will make them grow."
Mother said to Mrs Bulbul: "Go to market every day.
Buy many foods in the market. Buy different foods. Food in
the market is good."
20
Two happy families
The rain came. Many things grew in the garden. Now Mrs
Bulbul gets food from her garden.
She goes to market every day. She buys many different
foods. Anna mashes food for Wawa. Our mother helps her.
She helps Anna mash beans, nuts and other foods. They
put the food in a big pot and mash it with a big stick. When
the food is soft, they cook it. But first they wash their
hands.
When the food is cooked it is soft and hot.

Mrs Bulbul likes it.
All the children like it.
Wawa likes it.
22
When I come home from school, I help Anno. We cook
porridge. We cook green leaves, with a little water, onion,
tomato and mashed nuts. We put these cooked vegetables
on the porridge. We give this food to Wawa with a small
spoon.
Wawa eats it. He likes it. He says: "YummyummI"
Wawa always wants more.
23
Sometimes we cook eggs with oil, rice and vegetables.
Sometimes we cook mashed grain with fish and
vegetables.
Sometimes Mrs Bulbul cooks a chicken or some meat.
She cooks many different foods. Her children always want
more. It is very good food. They get food many times a day
now.
24
Sometimes the children are ill. They do not want food.
We give them fruit. They eat a little fruit. We give them
plenty to drink.
The children eat a little. It is good fresh fruit and it is
mashed.
They drink a lot.
They get better.
Now they are all happy.
25
Mrs Bulbul is happy because Anna is a very good cook.
Mrs Bulbul came to see our mother. She said: "Thank
you very much for helping me."
Anna is very happy because I am her friend. She said to
me: "Thank you very much for helping me. Now my
brothers and sisters eat well. They are happy because they
eat many times a day. They can play and run and jump."
Wawa is very, very happy. He gets plenty of mashed
food. He gets good milk. He is going to walk. He is going to
talk. Wawa is going to be fat and big and happy like
Yumyum.

What is CHILD - to - child?
CHILD-to-child is an International
Programme which teaches and encourages
children of school age to concern
themselves with the health, welfare and
general development of their younger pre
school brothers and sisters and of other
younger children in their community.
Each of the stories in this series of readers is
based on the CHILD-to-child concept of
one child helping another.
It is hoped too that children will read these
stories to their younger brothers and sisters
thus giving practical expression to the
CHILD-to-child idea.
