Precious held her breath, waiting for Sepo to say more. He stayed silent, though, and so she whispered to him, “Who?”

Sepo did not say anything, but after hesitating for a moment or two he very carefully pointed to somebody standing in the playground.

“Him,” he whispered. “It’s him. I saw him.”

hat night, as Precious lay on her sleeping mat, waiting for her father to come in and tell her a story—as he always did—she thought about what happened at school. She did not like the thought of there being a thief at school—thieves spoiled everything. They made people suspicious of one another, which was not a good thing at all. People should be able to trust other people, without worrying about whether they will steal their possessions.

But even if she did not like the thought of there being a thief, neither did she like the thought that an innocent person might be suspected. She did not know the boy whom Sepo had pointed out—she had seen him, of course, and she knew his name, Poloko (PO–LOW–KO), but she did not know very much about him. And she certainly did not know that he was a thief.

Poloko was a rather round boy.
