Nafula watches the school askari ring the big iron bell every morning and dreams of pulling the rope herself. Through helping in class and waiting her turn, she discovers that patience brings its own reward. A warm Kenyan school story about delayed gratification, helpfulness, and the joy of a promise kept.
The Iron Bell
A small girl, a big iron bell, and the patience that earns the sweetest ding-dong in the schoolyard.
