Close to the sun in lonely hands
Rung’d with the azure world, he stands.

WAKONYO: (Shortly after attending an English symposium)
Good morning, Kebu. How are you fairing on with your academic work?
KEBU : Good morning. I don’t even wish to talk about my performance. I didn’t get the score
I had promised.
WAKONYO: Come on, Kebu, you are taking your failure too much to heat. I know it is a great
disapointment to score a grade below what you expected in the pre-mocks and I
sympathise with you but you must not allow it to make you so unhappy.
KEBU: (Looks sullen) It is all very well for a lucky lass like you, Wakonyo. You have
passed and you would not feel cheerful if you were in my place.
WAKONYO: (Leaning forward) I know, but you must pull yourself together, and wake your
mind up. You will pass next time. Remember the old saying, “If you dont suceed, try, try, try
again!
KEBU: I think the other version of the saying has more sense to it. “ If at first you don’t succeed, quit,
quit, quit at once!
WAKONYO: (Nodding her head encouragingly) Mm...................
KEBU: I should just give up
WAKONYO: Oh nonsense! You’ll never do anything if you don’t persevere. Now why do you think you
failed?
KEBU: Last term had been very challenging for me. I was down with malaria for three weeks and I
could not prepare properly.
WAKONYO: Well, you did have bad luck, I am sorry. But I am sure you will do well in the mocks and
National Exams, so you must make your mind to win through
KEBU: I wish I had your will power. Still, I will take your advice and put more effort.
WAKONYO: That’s the way forward! And Iam sure you will register a better grade next time.
