A Nyakyusa man invited his friends for his mother's burial, after lowering the coffin, they put yam, rice, meat etc, into the grave.
A Muhaya man asked why?
The Nyakyusa man smiled & said,
"According to our tradition, the dead go on a long journey & need all the food items they can get".
The Muhaya man dropped Shs100,000 inside and said,
"When the food finish, buy more".
A Kurya man also dropped Shs 50,000 and said, add this in case it is not enough.
A Chaga man who was present at that time smiled, brought out his cheque book and wrote a cheque of Shs 200,000. He dropped it in the coffin and took the Shs 150,000 notes as change, then said,
"Rest In Peace, but withdraw your money when you reach dia ...it is going to be a dangerous journey, we dont know how many robbers are out there and no one will be there to save you. That Check shall be safe for you to carry"
