Sungura na Rafikize Wavivu

Sungura na Rafikize Wavivu (The Hare and His Lazy Friends) is a didactic Kiswahili folktale by Anderea Morara, published as a part of the popular E.A.E.P. Paukwa Pakawa Readers series. This story, intended for upper-primary learners (often listed for Grade 3 and above), follows the traditionally cunning Hare (Sungura) and his struggle with his unhelpful and lazy companions. The narrative cleverly illustrates the essential moral lesson about the importance of hard work, responsibility, and the consequences of laziness. As an excellent supplementary text, it boosts reading fluency, expands Swahili vocabulary, and encourages critical thinking about social responsibility among students.
