• Mulenga Goes To Town (CAFU No. 1) almost satirises this. Mulenga is a cautionary tale about a country bumpkin who makes his first trip to town on a bicycle to sell chickens and gets into all kinds of trouble. Mulenga tries to rescue a chicken which has flown on to the boot of a car. As Mulenga flings himself on the boot, scrambling for the chicken, the car starts to move; the driver jerks his head around as Mulenga raps on the roof; Mulenga doffs his battered straw hat.
