Description

This story is set in Botswana. It tells of two families who decide to go fishing because the normally dry Shashe River is full. The father tells them not to take food, because he will catch fish for lunch. After quite some time, everyone gets hungry because the adults have not managed to catch any fish. Lefika's rod starts to bend and his father helps him to reel in a large catfish. The learners are scared of the fish, but Lefika's mother explains that it looks scary but tastes good. She tells them the name mandevu means big whiskers.
