Once there was a man named Nyantagambirwa. One day as he was digging in his garden, an eagle came down and told him that there would be a feast in heaven.
The eagle explained to him that eagles would come to the village. He then happily flew up to the sky.
Nyantagambirwa informed his village. He told his father where he was going. Part of the village arranged and went for the feast. Four days to the party eagles came down and took them for the feast.
On reaching there, there was no soup. They decided to remove their eyes to make soup.
Nyantagambirwa said he was a good cook. As he was cooking, he cheated and ate an eye. When serving, the king said, “You who cooked pick your eye last.â€
After everyone had picked, he put his hand in the pot and began crying. There was no eye for him! The king said since he cooked, he must have eaten his own eye.
When he returned home, his parents were surprised and an eagle said that he ate his own eye.
So everywhere he went people pointed at him and said that he ate his own eye.
The book is interesting. I learn not to be greedy.
