Wambũi Is Sick <ai> <ay>

Chief Mwangi believes no child can outsmart his clever daughter, Wambũi. But when she falls gravely ill and no elder can name the cause, he makes a bold promise: the child who brings the cure will be her friend for life. Can a quiet farmer’s girl, who noticed something strange near the low stream, find the answer where everyone else fails? What did she spot that no one else did? This story practices the /eɪ/ sound with words like ‘say’, ‘day’, ‘plain’, ‘rain’ and ‘grain’.
