Precious And The Mystery Of Meercat Hill - Plot & Excerpts
Whenever she saw Pontsho at school she would ask him how the meerkat was, and he would tell her of Kosi’s latest adventures. He had caught a large scorpion, he said, or he had stolen a piece of bread from the kitchen, or had done some other thing that meerkats like to do. One of these things, Pontsho told her, was to ride on the back of the family’s cow. “He loves doing that,” said Pontsho. “He sits on the cow’s back for hours, looking out over everything. It’s his favourite place, I think.” Precious smiled at this and said she hoped that she would have the chance to see him again soon. “Perhaps you will,” said Pontsho, and winked. She was to find out what that wink meant a few days later. Going outside during the morning break, she saw Pontsho beckoning her. She went to join him. “Yes?” she said. “Did you want something, Pontsho?” He drew her aside.
