Part 3/5
The flamboyant parents bought seats for their children. The rest of us are conducting a practical lesson on Newton’s Laws of Motion. My four brothers and I have been standing since Nairobi. A good Samaritan volunteers to carry my little sister so Mum and Dad can each hold one child. You already know what happens whenever the driver discovers a pothole.

Kenya Breweries Limited was founded in 1922 by two brothers George and Charles Hurst.
The iconic Tusker brand was named in 1923 to memorialize George Hurst, who was killed by an elephant during a hunting expedition in Tanzania.
A "tusker" is a traditional term used for a male elephant with exceptionally large tusks.
