Tittle:Facing The Lion(non-friction, true story)

Author:Joseph Lemasolai Lekuton

Joseph Lemasolai Lekuton grew up in a village in northern Kenya.
He wanted to go to a school to learn.When the government of Kenya issued a law that at least one normadic child must be sent to school.Unfortunately, his father had to choose Lmatarion, the second son as the elder son had to stay and Joseph was too young.After the first day, Lmatarion couldn't bear the suffering with school and hid in a hyena hole.The police found him 3 days later.Joseph volunteered to go to school when the police asks his father to send a child to school.Because there were no ID cards in Kenya.The police could not tell how old he actually was.They belived him after he touched their ears and reached the head.So he made it into school.

People in Kenya actually have no cash.In fact they use cows as cash.They don't buy things with cows.They use them to make food and the fact that Joseph whose living in such harsh coditions can actually learn and become sucessful.

I know that people long ago used rocks as cash.The bigger your rocks the more its worth. But the people in Kenya have a close concept.The more cows you have, the richer you are.The cows provide food, beef and hides for them.It's amazing that joseph who is from such poor country can go to a university in New York.

EG:They give us milkand blood and sometimes meat to eat and hides to wear.They are our wealth.We don't have money:we have cows.
Although they is not much action, the story is very unique, talking about the persons life.
