A person can only hear what they understand

After Easter dinner Kitto (his name is also Wasswa, the name of a male twin), Carolyns twin brother and I went for a walk around their village of Kyunga. Coming up to a group of two young men they talked a bit in Lugandan and Wasswa laughed then put his arm around my waist and led me away. "What was that about?" I asked. He looked at me and said, that man asked me "How much to buy the white woman?" "You want to buy her?" Wasswa asked. "Yes," the man replied. "You want to buy my wife?" Wasswa asked and led me away while the mans laughter died in the background.
