T’SEPISO VISITS HIS FRIENDS

By Thejane Malakane

• Ts’episo had two friends, Neo and Katleho. Neo is the brother to Katleho.

• One day Ts’episo visited his friends. The mother of his two friends had gave Neo and Katleho an orange each.

• Neo and Katleho’s mother had no orange left for Ts’episo. She thought what she could do to get Ts’episo an orange. She did not have money for one orange, so she thought of a trick.

• She asked Neo to give his orange to Ts’episo and asked Neo to share one orange with Katleho. Neither Neo nor Katleho wanted to give out their orange to their friend.

• Neo and Katleho’s mother asked his sons to share their orange by half to Ts’episo. They agreed to share their oranges to Ts’episo by half.

• Neo and Katleho’s mother knew her secret: two half oranges make one full orange! Neo and Katleho did not see that they had give Ts’episo a full orange.
