Summary:

"The last story, Akomunyana -- or The Business About The Lambs -- is perhaps the most intricate of the three stories. It begins with a curse spanning two generations, goes through the details of how the original chief Rutegaya lived and brought the curse upon his family and how his son Bahemuka had to carry the curse through to what should have been the third generation. It is a story about the other extreme of how being good and obliging can also prove to be costly unless you can discriminate between people, events and everything, and know when and why not to oblige."--Afterword, page 152.
