Bringing The Rain To Kapiti Plain



This tale was discovered in Kenya, Africa, more than seventy years ago by the famous anthropologist Sir Claud Hollis. Sir Claud camped near a Nandi village and learned the native language from two young boys. He learned riddles and proverbs from the Nandi children, and most of the folktales from the Chief Medicine Man. This tale reminded Sir Claud of a cumulative nursery rhyme he had loved as a boy in England, one also familiar to us - "The House That Jack Built." So he called the story "The Nandi House That Jack Built" and included it in his book The Nandi: Their Language and Folklore, published in 1909.
