As I’ve told you we have a rat that is living here at the schools compound. There has for a couple weeks been a campaign, run by Mattias, to kill that said rat. During the break you could see him every night sneaking around with a headlight and a stick trying to find it. He also put out traps but in those he only succeeded to get an innocent bird. The thing that has been driving him to trying so hard to kill this rat is the reward on 500 Kenyan shilling and the glory of having killed such a huge beast.
Yesterday he succeeded. He and Jacob had seen the rat run around so they armed themselves with a net and a stick and went on a hunt. Suddenly Jacob saw the rat and actually achieved catching it and then it was just for Mattias to whack it a couple of times and poff no rat. Sadly their celebrating afterwards was destroyed by the guards telling them that there actually are 3 rats here at school and the one they caught was the smallest one. According to them there is a big black one and the mother of all rat, a huge brown thing that they say could eat a baby whole. The boys will just have to continue their hunt.
