Soma ufahamu ufuatao kwa makini kisha ujibu maswali 31-40.

Nilikuwa chumbani mwangu nikijisomea novela ili kukinaisha uraibu wangu. Mama aliniita ghafla, nikaukunja ukurasa niliokuwa nikisoma kabla ya kutoka. Alikuwa ameshika noti ya shilingi mia tano. "Nenda kwa Bwana Mauzo uninunulie kilo ya sukari, maziwa na paketi ya unga," aliniambia huku akinikabidhi fulusi zile. "Hewala mama," niliitikia huku niking'oa nanga kuelekea kwenye duka hilo lililokuwa takriban kilomita mbili kutoka pale nyumbani.

Njiani nilimkuta rafiki yangu, Aviza akiendesha baiskeli yake. Nilimwamkua naye akaniitikia kwa ucheshi kama ilivyokuwa ada yake. Nilimweleza kuwa mama alikuwa amenituma dukani na kwamba nisingethubutu kuwa kihongwe kwa kuwa sisi watoto tunao wajibu wa kuwaauni wavyele wetu. Huku akikubaliana nami, alijitolea kunisaidia. "Kwa kuwa sina ujuzi zaidi yako katika kucharaza baiskeli, utaendesha wewe nami niketi kwenye karia," alisema kisha akanikabidhi baiskeli ile.

Tuliichupia baiskeli tukaiendesha kwa uangalifu katika barabara ile yenye kuruba nyingi. Siku zote nilizingatia kauli ya wahenga kuwa kinga ni bora kuliko tiba. Muda si muda tulifika
dukani.

Umayamaya wa washitiri ulikazania kununua bidhaa. Wanyonge walikaa kando kusubiri muujiza angaa wanunue. Wenye misuli kama mimi nao waliwasukuma wenzao almradi wapate fursa ya kununua bidhaa walizohitaji. Jambo moja lililowavuta wateja kwa Bwana Mauzo ni kwamba hakudiriki kuwapunja wateja wake licha ya kuwa na duka la kipekee pale kijijini. Wema nao hauozi. Hali ilikuwa hivyo siku zote katika duka lake.
Baada ya kujipenyezapenyeza, nilijipata nimekabiliana ana kwa ana na mwenye duka. Usoni, alionyesha tabasamu yake ya kawaida. Pindi tu tulipotazamana, niliuona uso wake ukibadilika ghafla, akawa kama aliyeona mzimu mbele yake. Hali hiyo ilinitia wahaka kidogo. Nilishuku kuwa labda alifikiri nimeenda kumkopa. Falsfa ya Bwana Mauzo ilikuwa wazi kwa wote "Lipa leo nitakukopesha kesho." Ili kumwondolea hofu yake, nilitabasamu, nikaunyosha mkono huku nikimwonyesha noti aliyonipa mama. Ajabu ni kuwa hakuipokea.

Mara noti ile ilinyakuliwa na mkono mzito kama nanga. Kwa udhia mwingi, niligeuka kumwona hasidi huyo aliyenuia kuchuma riziki kutoka mkononi mwangu pasipo kutoka jasho. Lo! Maneno yalinikauka kinywani, macho yakanitoka pima nisiweze kutamka 'be' wala 'te'. Uso wangu ulikumbana na mtutu wa bunduki. Tuliagizwa kulala sakafuni huku majambazi wale wakijiandaa kutupora. Acha mtafaruku uingie! Hakika angurumapo simba mcheza ni nani?

Wahalifu wawili walijitoma dukani wakaanza kupakia pesa za Bwana Mauzo katika mkoba. Mwanaume mmoja aliyekuwa nyuma yangu alimtazama mmoja wao aliyebaki nje akitutishia kwa bunduki. Sijui alikuwa akiwazia nini. Alitazamana na mwanamume mwenye bunduki akasimama na kupiga hatua akienda kwake.

"Nitakufyatulia risasi kichwani mpumbavu wewe!" Jambazi yule alifoka kwa ukali. “Nina hakika kuwa huna uwezo huo," alijibu mwenzetu huku akitabasamu. Jambazi alibabaika. Kumbe mteja mwenzetu alikuwa askari polisi, kwa hivyo alitambua kuwa bunduki ile ilikuwa bandia. Sote tulipandwa na mori, wengine wetu wakiwashambulia kitutu wahalifu hao. Hofu ilituondokea tuliposikia kuwa bunduki ile ilikuwa bandia.
Kamba zilitolewa pale dukani, wakafungwa kitita na kupelekwa marshimarshi hadi kituoni mwa polisi. Noti yangu ilitolewa mfukoni mwa jambazi aliyeniibia. Nilinunua bidhaa alizonituma mama, Bwana Mauzo akawahudumia wachache kisha akafunga duka ili akaandikishe taarifa kituoni. Japo nilichelewa kurudi nyumbani, nilikuwa na uhondo wa kusimulia aila yangu
kuhusu tukio lile.

Hakuna jambo litakalohatarisha maisha yetu humu duniani kuliko ukataji wa misitu. Hakika, ukataji huu si jambo jipya kwetu. Hata mababu na nyanya zetu walikata miti. Walifanya hivyo kwa matumizi mbalimbali kama vile ujenzi, dawa, mavazi na kadhalika. Ukataji miti siku hizo, hata hivyo, ulifanywa kwa uangalifu. Baadhi ya miti ilikatwa kwa ajili ya kafara na kwa matumizi mahsusi lakini leo, miti hukatwa bila kusudi maalum.
Si ajabu kupata miti ikikatwa milimani kwa kusudi la kupanda dawa za kulevya kisiri ili isijulikane na serikali. Aidha, miti imekatwa ili kujenga majumba yetu katika mazingira yaliyo na hewa mwanana bila kujali madhara tunayosababishia mandhari yetu. Tumekata miti kando ya mito ili kulima vishamba vya mboga karibu na chemichemi ya maji. Kile ambacho binadamu hafahamu ni kuwa miti hii ndiyo inayoshikilia udongo usimomonyoke.

Inafahamika kuwa misitu ni asili ya chakula na maskani ya wanyama. Misitu inapokatwa, ama wanyama watakufa au watahamia kwingine. Huko kwingine kunaweza kuwa kwenye makao yetu binadamu. Watavamia mashamba yetu na kuhatarisha maisha yetu na ya wanetu.
Tusisahau kuwa misitu huvuta mvua. Tunapokata miti tunapunguza mvua na tunaharakisha ukame. Bila mvua, mito na maziwa yatakauka. Bila maji sisi hatutakuwa na uhai. Mifugo wetu nao watafuata mkondo uo huo.

Hebu fikiria utafanyaje uamkapo asubuhi na kuambiwa kuwa mfadhili wako ameachishwa kazi katika kiwanda cha karatasi kilichopo hapo karibu. Kuna uwezekano wa hayo kutokea iwapo ukataji wa misitu utaendelea. Viwanda vitakosa malighafi, hivyo vitafungwa na watu kumwaga unga. Basi vitu kama karatasi, mbao, gundi na viberiti vitakosekana au kupanda bei.

Vilevile, misitu inapokatwa, dawa za kienyeji na za kisasa zitapotea kwa maana nyingi kati yazo hutokana na miti. Wagonjwa wengi watatangulia mbele ya haki kwa kukosa dawa. Je, wakataji miti wenyewe wajua wao pia wataangamia?

Misitu mingi yenye manufaa makubwa huchukua muda mrefu kukomaa. Kwa hivyo, tunapoikata bila mpango tunavinyima vizazi vya kesho urithi huu wa kimaumbile. Vijana wengi watakuwa wakizisoma habari za misitu vitabuni bila kuiona misitu yenyewe. Utafiti wa miti pia utakwama na elimu itakoseshwa mahali pa uvumbuzi nyanjani. Sasa iko wapi faida ya kufunza taaluma ya misitu katika shule na vyuo kinadharia tu kama misitu yenyewe haipo?

Miti isipokuwepo hakuna kitu kitakachozuia mmomonyoko wa udongo wetu wenye rutuba. Mimea itadhoofika ajabu. Mchanga nao utajaa kwenye mito na maziwa. Hali hii ikiendelea maziwa yatapotea.

Hakuna mandhari yavutiayo kama yale yenye rangi ya kijani. Mtu atembeapo karibu na miti jioni, hufurahia harufu tofauti; harufu ya maua na mzizimo wa upepo mwanana. Miti ikipotea ghafla hubaki visiki butu vyenye rangi ya hudhurungi au kijivu isiyovutia. Badala ya mzizimo huwa upepo mkali uliobeba vumbi jingi. Matokeo yake ni mawili. Kwanza, upepo huu waweza kusababisha uharibifu kama vile kuangusha miti na hata kung'oa mapaa ya nyumba.

Hasara nyingine ni kuwa upepo husafirisha viini vinavyoeneza magonjwa chungu'nzima ya macho, koo na mapafu. Hewa itachafuka maana hakuna miti ya kuisafisha. Mnaona! sisi wenyewe tunajiua. Tamaa mbele mauti nyuma.
