Story 15. Making Uji

Mary lives with her mother in a village in Kenya.

Mama needs water for making her breakfast.

“Mary, go to bring back a jug of water,” says her mother.

“Yes, Mama!” says Mary.

It's a long way to the well, but she is happy to help her mom.

She runs to the well with her jug.

Carefully, she carries the water back to Mama.

Mary watches Mama make a pot of uji, a wonderful porridge.

Soon, she is having a big bowl of uji.

It tastes really good.

I love uji for breakfast.
