THE SHAMBA BOY
Ken shifted his weight on the chair as if to be more comfortable, as Josephine slowly took a seat close to me.
“May the spirit of the lord come down, Amen, may the spirit of the lord come down, Amen, may the spirit of the lord, come down from heaven…” Miriam began singing a hymn. Ken took off his cape and placed it on his knees as a sign of respect, like we were in a church. It was so amusing to see Ken suddenly humbled by Miriam’s song to an extent he behaved like he was in the presence of angels.
Miriam prayed a short prayer.
