And when he meets Nigel life becomes even more interesting. Nigel is from England and he has come to visit his great grandfather, the fearsome Bwana Ruin who owns the farm where all the villagers work. The villagers call Nigel the mzungu boy, and they view him with suspicion and fear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, Kariuki becomes friends with Nigel and the two spend happy days exploring the forest together.
