Now Sizwe did so many silly things, that everybody called him“Silly Sizwe.”  \nThe Chief, who lived in that kraal, had a daughter who never ever smiled or laughed, even when someone did something very funny or tickled her.  \nOne day, Sizwe and his mother had nothing eat, so his mother told him to go and get a job at the Chief’skraal. He was asked to collect all the eggs, which the hens had laid all around the kraal.  \nAll day Sizwe looked for eggs, and when it was time togo home, he was given some eggs to take to his mother. He was very happy as he ran off with the eggs in his hands. But just as he passed the Chief’s house, he tripped over a stone and dropped the eggs. The Chief’s daughter watched as he tried to catch them before they fell on the ground. He looked very funny, but the girl did not even smile.  \nWhen he got home, he told his mother what had happened.  \n“You silly boy,” said his mother.“You should have put the eggs in your hat and you could have brought them safely home.”  \n“Never mind Mother,” said Sizwe.“I will do that next time.”  \nThe next day, Sizwe was asked to milk the Chief’scows. When he had finished milking at the end of the day, he was given a bucket of milk to take home to his mother. Just as he got to the Chief’s house, he remembered that the bucket belonged to the Chief. So he poured the milk into his hat. Then Sizwe put his hat on again.","cbCaikAfe1DPcsPt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikAfe1DPcsPt","pdf",4151602,22,"English","en",105,"# Story\n## Sizwe’s silly reputation\n## Egg-collecting job\n## Advice from his mother\n## Milking the Chief’s cows","[{\"question\":\"Why is Sizwe called “Silly Sizwe”?\",\"answer\":\"Sizwe often makes foolish mistakes, so everyone around him calls him “Silly Sizwe.”\"},{\"question\":\"What job does Sizwe get after there is nothing to eat?\",\"answer\":\"His mother sends him to the Chief’s kraal to collect eggs laid around the kraal.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Sizwe try to improve his actions on the next day?\",\"answer\":\"After remembering the milk belongs to the Chief, he pours the milk into his hat so he can bring it home safely, then puts the hat on again.\"}]",1784308501,34,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":26},"silly-sizwe","",{"@graph":34,"@context":84},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/silly-sizwe/91822/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-22","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Why is Sizwe called “Silly Sizwe”?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Sizwe often makes foolish mistakes, so everyone around him calls him “Silly Sizwe.”","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What job does Sizwe get after there is nothing to eat?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"His mother sends him to the Chief’s kraal to collect eggs laid around the kraal.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How does Sizwe try to improve his actions on the next day?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"After remembering the milk belongs to the Chief, he pours the milk into his hat so he can bring it home safely, then puts the hat on again.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
