THE SPIRIT WIFE
a beautiful but mysterious woman agreed to marry a man on the condition that he never asks about her family,he agreed; and they lived happily together until it was time for their oldest son´s circumcision.
the man asked his wife why her family couldn´t attend the ceremony
with that, the wife bounced into the air and made a hole seven miles deep when she landed
she called upon her ancestors, who came as spirits from Mount Kenya
the spirits raised a thunder and hailstorm as they came
they brought food, goats, cattle, and beer with them,and, while the people took shelter in caves flooded the country side with beer, turning it into a lake
when the spirits left,they took the couple and their children with them into Mount Kenya.
