CAN YOU FiLL IN THE MISSING WORD?
The answer should be easy because some things just naturally go together.
Take electricity for example. It just naturally goes with comfort, convenience
and a low-cost way of getting things done. That’s why electricity and better
living go hand-in-hand ... to make it the biggest bargain in your family
budget today.

Now I must tell about the
goat slaughter. On the 17th,
my host father had a goat
slaughtered. The preparation
started ear’y in the morning,
w.th the killing taking place
around 8 o’clock. First a
special circle was made on
the ground with muddy wa-
GLEN PORTER
ter Then a small squash was
laid in the circle and sliced
in two. Next, a mixture of
water and flower petals was
dabbed on the goat’s head A
piece of wood was laid on
the ground to stop the Khu
kuri (ku-ku-re), curved knife.
The butcher stood poised
with his Khukuri and in one
b’ow the goat lost his head.
Some people ki’l bull water
buffalo in much the same
way, but I have not seen it.
Basins were quickly brought
to save the blood, which was
cooked and served at the
next meal It tasted like
cooked blood. Next boiled
water was poured over the
carcass and the hair scraped
off Then the butchering
commenced in the usual man
ner, except that all but the
legs were cut into fine piec

separate cool room used for
worshipping and cut up a
day later. I’ve had some por
