One day a young boy came home from school. Extra tired and with tears in his eyes Not even his mother’s chapatis could do it for him. What’s wrong my son? Mama asked. “Mum,” the boy began. “I missed the badge by just two marks.” The bewildered mother tried to remember which badge she had bought that was so precious. “Which badge?” she asked concerned and looking forward to say that it would be all okay. “The Kilirama badge that reads - Best Student in Class 3!” My best friend in his school has all these badges. I wish I was in his school, then I can even get a badge that says Number 2 in class 3. before I get another for being number one. Mummy can I change schools so I can get a badge? The next day in the headmaster’s office, the young boy’s mother articulated it very clearly. “Contact Kilimara Investments and order for the badges. Your school should not be the only one without the badges. Here are their contacts …” Kilimara Investments Mr. George Kimani P.O.
