Early morning Joshua woke up the initiates to go and check if there were any wild rabbits trapped, Robin and David were the first ones to rush to the scene where the traps were put reaching there, they found the traps were raised signaling that it has trapped wild rabbits, they checked.
"The rabbits have been trapped!" David shouted.
The initiates ran to check on the trapped rabbits.
"They are still alive" Robin shouted.
They checked the rabbits were still alive.
"Be careful they can bite you!" Ezekiel shouted.
Ezekiel rushed and checks on the wild rabbits and removed them by holding their ears, the initiates were amazed at what Ezekiel did.
"You are a hunter," David said.
"Yes I have done this since I was a kid my father thought me how to trap them as our source of livelihood then was hunting and gathering wild fruits," Ezekiel said.
"Our father then in our early years used to train us how to hunt using bows and arrows, we used to go for war with other tribes also and also for cattle rustling to bring cattle to our community" Joshua elaborate.
They took the trapped rabbits to the homestead Ezekiel showed them how to slaughter the rabbits and roast the meat on the fire.
This is a life skill to learn how to survive in the jungle, for instance, how are you going to survive in the jungle for several days or weeks or even a year in the forest if you are going to be sent by the government to a mission and you got lost in the middle of the forest?" Joshua asked.
"Of course, you have to come up with your way of survival, there are things you are not taught as a soldier, you have at times to maneuver out of the problems alone," Joshua said emotionally.
"I remember, getting lost in Amazon forest during the second world war in Amazon forest we got lost with my friend Paul it was an adventurous journey back to the military camp," Joshua said.
"Amazon forest is invested by very dangerous tigers we had to come up with ways on how to survive" Joshua narrated.
The initiates wanted to know what unfolded next in their adventurous journey in the Amazon forest but Joshua was interrupted by meat being roasted on fire he had to turn the meat over.
"He continued, we had to survive by use of fire at night and by use of guns at day time we had to hunt wild animals to be our meal to keep us to survive in the jungle," Joshua said.
"Life also is just like a jungle where you are trying to find your way to your better future" Joshua added.
The initiates were left in suspense after Joshua paused her story the initiates looked at him with expectations that he will continue to tell the story, Joshua reckoned.
"I remember one day the tigers, surrounded us wanted to make us their daytime meal before they struck, I instructed Paul to hold his gun and shoot them running towards where they were hoping the sound of the guns was so loud that they frightened them and we shot six of them on the ground they started fleeing" Joshua narrated.
The initiates were very surprised at how Paul and Joshua were very courageous to an extent of daring very dangerous giant tigers.
Joshua paused his story he removed the meat on the fire and bite.
"It's very delicious," Joshua said.
Ezekiel removed the meat roasting in the fireplace he bit the meat.
"Wow, it's extremely delicious," Ezekiel said as he eat and salivate at the same time.
Joshua removed another piece on fire and distributed it to the initiates, Robin held he wanted to taste but he was not sure to taste or not David tasted.
"Wow, What a delicacy!" David shouted.
David ate his piece quickly and asked for another one as Robin took his time.
Robin got the courage
Robin got the courage to eat the meat he bite a small piece of meat and he salivated which meant that it was sweet he ate quickly the whole piece of meat and requested another one but just in time the lunch meal was brought, Joshua served them with ugali they ate all meat without leaving a piece of meat.
Joshua served the "Ugali" mixture of water and maize flour to the initiates, initiates ate the food it was very delicious served with rabbit tender meat.
"I see no one is talking it seems the food is very delicious," Joshua said
Ezekiel laughed.
"I see this is the first time you've ever tasted the game meat it's the best delicacy ever," Joshua said.
The initiates ate lunch without talking until they finished eating the food.
