Once there was a Maasai warrior called ‘Morana’ and a Swahili chef called ‘Mswaha’. These two had never met but they had one thing in common. They were both articulate at what they did. Morana was the best warrior in the region and he had even won accolades from great leaders. Similarly, Mswaha was the best chef and was especially good at making the Swahili beverage called ‘kahawa tungu’ and he also won accolades from great leaders as the best chef.
One day, while travelling to the city of Nairobi, they literaly ‘bumped’ into each other’s shoulder and were both not amused. Morana told Mswaha “how dare you bump into ‘the great Morana’? I challenge you to a fight tomorrow.” Mswaha, not wanting to look weak agreed half heartedly.
In the evening, Mswaha discussed with his wife what had happened and his wife reminded him of the many accolades he won after performing his ‘kahawa tungu’ making skills confidently. The same way he could face Morana. The next day when Mswaha met Morana, Mswaha looked very confident and afraid of him. Since Morana did not know his background, he decided to call off the fight fearing that nobody has ever defeated him and he did not want to risk being defeated.
