This was my first reaction when I heard what Wanjala had done but then the more I thought about it and as time went the little boy in me was just amused and by the time I read Rigo's escapade I was just impressed.
Having grown up in the village there was a certain "sweetness" of being carried whether it was by a bicycle, donkey cart, car or even "ngurutoki". This "sweetness" was even more intense when it was a stolen moment of "kushuhirira" (kudandia) Is there an English word for this? I can therefore imagine the excitement of a stolen moment on a helicopter.
Foolish as it is you can bet that these men are heroes in their villages and will forever be legends to boys of a certain age from there who will never forget them.
If you were born in the city and have always had access to a car and have been flying since you could remember there is absolutely no way you can understand this behavior. It is nothing but foolishness. I can however relate to the thrill.
