can last longer. It is of great importance to one’s community.

Read the following story and then answer the questions that

Baraka and Sara are the prefects responsible for safety and
security at Kisiwani Primary School. Every morning, Baraka

inspects the resources in all the classrooms and writes a report
on them. Sara inspects the toilets, water taps and the tools
for keeping the school environment clean. The aim is to ensure
their safety. One day, Baraka noticed that three desks in the

Standard Three classroom were damaged. Baraka asked the
class monitor to name those who had broken the desks. He
was told that Masero had stood on the desks and broken
them. Baraka reported the damage to the class teacher. The

teacher invited Masero’s parents to school and discussed the
damage with them. After the discussion, the parents gave the
teacher some money for repairing the desks. The teacher told

Masero not to damage desks again. He also said that no pupil
should destroy school resources.
