Adventures of Lhüsaku And Other Stories by Agnes Tepa

“What do you want to be when you grow up? Lhüsaku promptly replied, “I want to become a cowboy!” His uncle burst into laughter at his reply. Lhüsaku didn’t understand why his uncle found his reply very silly because he didn’t know that cowboys were the class of people who were looked down in his society. Becoming a cowboy was the worst job anybody could take up in his village. And the kind of cowboys he read about in his comic books didn’t really exist where he lived.
