Give Me My Change


As i was boarding a mat after a busy day, i bought a 10-shilling airtime to make sure the 100 shilling note i had was loose enough to pay for my transport. Just a day b4, i had parted with my 200/- note without queries because the conda had no change and in fact, he alighted on the way without me noticing. (These scenarios normally happen esp. if you live in “Lower Runda"). i found a sit and was joined by a young lady. She perused her purse for money, and besides having enough loose money to pay the correct amount, she settled for a 500/- note. When the conda was collecting the fare, she gave out the five hundred note. Only 60/- was to be deducted there. Since the conda wanted to make an 'overtime pay', he carried 3 extra passengers on the way. He was very lucky, 'or unfortunate, depends on you' to meet with traffic police who did not waste time with him but took him...only he knows where. The driver pulled the mat on the side of the road, after a few minutes the conda returned, and we proceeded with our journey. After collecting the fare for the three O.T payers, he feigned TO carry others but when one boarded the mat, he remained there and the driver proceeded.
Just as we were alighting, the young lady recalled..oh my CHANGE.! where is the conda, i want my change. The mat had reached its destination and she had to return looking for him or supplement the condas' O.T.
After asking the driver about the conda, he showed her a sticker on the door of the mat which read:
"TO AVOID INCONVENIENCES PLEASE COME WITH LOOSE CHANGE, THANK YOU"
