After three months, Chipo called her husband aside.
Her voice was tense.
"Mubita, why do you return home so late every evening?"
Mubita frowned.
"The work is heavy. That is why."
Chipo looked away.
"Or maybe the farm is more important to you than your family."
Mubita remained silent.
Among the Tonga people, another proverb is often spoken:
"When two goats fight, the grass suffers."
Soon the tension between them began to show.
