Translator: Alisha Berger

Khutso was having a dream. In this dream, he was eating cake.

He heard his grandmother calling him.

Grandmother sent Khutso to go buy sugar.

The sugar packet started leaking.

Khutso had never tasted sugar before.

He tasted it and it was very nice, even better than sweets.

His grandmother hid the sugar under the bed.

Khutso was watching and saw where she hid it.

The following day, Khutso called all his friends. He poured a few sugar granules in their hands.

Then he poured the whole packet in his mouth until it was finished.

He put back the empty packet under the bed.

When his grandmother wanted to use sugar, she went to her hiding place. Her sugar was not there.

Grandmother was very angry. She told Khutso to come with all the friends that he played with that day.

She asked them who ate her sugar

and nobody answered her.

Grandmother asked khutso again and again and everytime he lied, his tongue grew longer.

Khutso was very scared and he was running up and down.

There was a loud bang.

Khutso woke up very scared.

It was just a dream, the sugar was still under the bed.
