And the trip goes on, deeper into the bush.

There are a few very vivid word pictures on page 95.  Both are analogies, or comparisons between things to illustrate their similarities.  Each analogy uses the key word "like" in it.  Can you find them?

As Jacob moves deeper into the bush, he meets some Massai boys (some times spelt Masai) and visits their village or "kraal."

Jacob has some very keen observational skills.  He noted that, "It was obvious that they were suffering in the drought, but they looked healthier than the people in the refugee camp."   Look at this web site about the Massai people, and find out what they eat (scroll down to the Importance of Cattle heading).

From your research in Lesson 3, you recorded 5 diseases common to Kenya.  What would you suggest Jacob has?   You might need to go back to the East Africa Travel Advisory web site again to do some additional research.  Don't guess!  Look at the EVIDENCE.  Where has Jacob been?  What had he done that might have brought him in contact with this particular disease?

• Saddlebilled Stork
• Yellowbilled Hornbill and more about this bird at the Montere Bay site.

Here is one of the absolutely best sites on Kenya that I have found.  Tim and Lara Beth's Kenya site even has the music to the Kenyan National Anthem, as well as detailed information on the Massai.  Look around, you might even find instructions on making African musical instruments.
