    SHORT STORY
     Itis a brief fictional prose narrative
    that is shorter than a novel and that
    usually deals with only a few
    characters. ... The form encourages
    economy of setting, concise
    narrative, and the omission of a
    complex plot; character is disclosed
    in action and dramatic encounter
    but is seldom fully developed.
    Do you like
    reading short
    stories?
    We will talk about a short
    story written by a
    renowned Kenyan writer.
    Guess
    who.
    Grace A. Ogot
    The Rain Came
    Customs and traditional beliefs
    leave Oganda having to face
    death for her people to have
    rain.

    sacrifice your own
    life for others?
