Thulani loved to bask in the sun all daybecause he was lazy and the sun was hot.
Thulani sold his cow and then hebought a goat.
Thulani had to sell the goat becauseit ate their store of dried corn.
Thulani traded the billy-goat fora fluffy sheep full of fleece.
Thulani could not sleep in the sun while he owned the sheepbecause he had to care for it and stop it from straying or being eaten by predators.
Thulani wanted to sell the sheepbecause it was hard work shearing the fleece.
Thulani sold the sheepand bought three geese.
Thulani had to sell the three geesebecause he needed the money to buy seed.
Thulani and his wife were surprised when the seed sprouted becausethey were sunflowers and not mealies.
When the sunflower seeds dropped offThulani fed the seeds to the hens.
The hens liked the sunflower seedsand layed more eggs than they usually did.
Because Thulani had more money from the extra eggshe bought sheep, and then later, a cow and then many more animals.
Thulani liked milking the cow bestbecause that was when his best thoughts came to him.
