One week Mrs. Sikalima had to travel for a church meeting.
Before leaving she said to Chipo:
"Please help manage the shop that sells animal medicine."
Chipo agreed.
But when Mrs. Sikalima returned, the shop was in disorder.
Something was wrong.
She watched the couple carefully.
They avoided looking at each other.
Two days later she asked Chipo privately.
That was when she learned the truth.
The couple had been arguing constantly.
