Kulyennyingi, by M.B. Nsimbi, Chapter 3, Part 3

In their great desire for money, Kulyenningi and his friends used many dirty tricks that were annoying to the victims as well as those who heard about and witnessed them. There was a man, Nkerettanyi, who turned around and tricked the boys in a way they wouldn't forget. Nekrettanyi was a driver who was very careful in driving his car. He came because his bosses sent him to bring ten bags of cement to his village in a Toyota pickup. That day it had rained a lot and the roads were ruined. He was on these muddy roads when he came upon Kulyennyingi, his brother Wantaate, and one of their friends waiting to push stuck cars. He was close upon the boys when a slippery spot grabbed his car and wanted to snatch it off the road. He managed to bring it back and continued forward. He had progressed a little way when he was greeted by Kulyennyingi and his friends. He returned their greeting and inquired, "How is this road up ahead?"

The boys smelled money, and therefore responded "Sir, very bad. You can't get where you're going this way. The best thing to do is go back the way you came and take the other road that goes there." When he did as they told him to, the boys whistled loudly, for the slippery place got to have another try. As he hit it, those who had warned him were right there. Unluckily, he drove to the place and hit a lot of mud which overcame the car and immobilized it. When he stepped more on the accelerator, the car sank deeper into the mud. The boys say the car not moving from the spot and came in great numbers saying, "Sir, if you will but spare us a little tea-money, we will push you and you can go." To which he replied, "You'll push for how much?"

To this question, Kulyennyingi responded "Just two hundred shillings." Nkerettanyi said, "Iii! My children, that's a lot of money! Just to pull me out of this mud!" Kulennyingi said, "We are cutting you very little. If you don't pay it, we won't move the car. Maybe you can see others who will push you." To illustrate, they backed away from the car.
