A Kuria man was once on a safari from Remagwe down to Bunchari in northwestern
Tanzania and was attacked by local thieves.  They beat and robbed him, leaving
him half dead.  Now the chairperson of the local village council happened to be
traveling down the same road.  But when he saw the injured man he passed by on
the other side.  In the same way the local church catechist came to the place,
saw him and passed by on the other side.  But a Maasai traveler who came by on
his bicycle was moved with compassion when he saw the injured man.  He went up
to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring local herbal medicine on them.  Then he
lifted him onto his bicycle, took him to a nearby private bedded dispensary and
looked after him.  The next day he took out 30,000 Tanzanian shillings (the
equivalent of a month’s minimum wage in Tanzania’s economy), handed the money to
the medical assistant and said:  “Look after him, and on my way back I will pay
the extra costs that you have."
