Nyaminyami & Brenda from Bumi Hills (Folktale)

 


One day Munya was chatting to Vitalis telling him to start preparing to set sail as the sunset was close by.


Vitalis did not take long and started sailing.


On that particular day the boat was loaded with people from Kariba going to Siavonga, some where busy drinking throwing bottles overboard.


Brenda was one of the passengers, she was a beautiful gorgeous girl, enjoying the views of the Zambaezi on her way to Siavonga to buy her merchandise.She came from Bumi Hills.


Suddenly a rude man grabbed a sandwich that was being eaten by Brenda by force.


Brenda quickly stood up and slapped the man on the face.


This angered the man more and he pushed Brenda into the river, as he was also falling in aswell.


As they both fell in, they came across huge tiger fish they had never seen before, the tiger fish where coming close to them as they tried to swim up.


Above the water people saw the huge tiger fish flying into the air blood flowing out of the fish's mouth and they thought the two had been eaten.


Suddenly the two appeared above and shocked at what they where seeing.Everyone on the boat appeared to be amazed.


A mermaid princess had killed the huge tiger fish and she warned them not travel at night and in the direction they were going.


Vitalis the boat captain and other man did not listen as they threw spears at the mermaid princess as they had never seen a mermaid and wanted to kill it and get the gold in her tail as it has been said in folktales..


She just looked at the boat sail in dismay.


Brenda thought about what the mermaid had told them.


But she just said maybe they was no harm in just being warned and enjoyed the sailing and singing on the boat.


From a distance lights could be seen.


The lights got brighter as the boat was getting closer, and passengers on the boat where exited as they had reached Siavonga town.


Suddenly the lights started rising and everyone realised it was not a town it was huge monster Nyaminyami.The scariest monster feared in Zimbabwe .


Nyaminyami grabbed Brenda by the waist, while others on the boat where shooting at Nyaminyami.


The Zambezi Mermaid King appeared from the water with a golden spear attacking Nyaminyami.


The Mermaid king managed to cut one of tanticles of Nyaminyami setting Brenda free.


The mermaid Queen was on her way to assist the the King, when


she saw the mermiad King floating on the water.


The mermaid Queen blamed Brenda and the rest of passengers for not taking advise from the mermaid princess earlier on.


Brenda punched the mermaid Queen saying it was not time for blame game.


At this point Nyaminyami was rising high about to swallow the entire boat and people on board.


Brenda with anger switched into fire power burnt and melted down Nyaminyami.The monstor totally disappeared underwater for ever never to be seen again.Brenda had been too powerful and fell into the river unconscious.


After 3 hours Brenda regained her consciousness and woke up.


She talked to Vitalis on what had transpired  and


Vitalis explained that she had saved everyone from being eaten by Nyaminyami by transforming into a superwoman and thanked her.


Suddenly from a distance....


The mermaid queen appeared and thanked Brenda for ending the life of Nyaminyami for good, and pointed the direction for the boat to sail.


Vitalis was ready to shoot  as he thought another Avengers war was about to start.


The mermaid looked at the boat disappear into the horizon.


Brenda reached Siavonga and everyone thanked her and she continued with her Journey.


Thanks to Brenda Nyaminyami until this day have never risen.
