One wonders if the tears of the famous Crying Stone of Ilesi are crocodile tears. If they are genuine, why hasn’t anybody bothered to find out why the stone is crying? It’s disturbing that every day children are born in Kakamega, go to school and eventually join the family business (Musalia and Sons Boda-Boda Enterprise), and go on to get married without stopping to ask, “Wait, why is our famous stone crying? Is it something our ancestors did?” My suspicion is the stone cries because something heinous was done to a chicken back in the days, and this chicken was reincarnated as a stone. Since being a stone is not enough, it decided to have a head resembling that of a human and finished the ensemble with tears (which means this chicken was a chic), hoping to grab attention and force the people to avenge her death, but the people of Kakamega would rather cheer at bulls fighting while high on weed than avenge a chicken.
