FRIEND'S BETRAYAL IN THE CITY

Mwangi was a retired school teacher and was ambitious to start a business. He had done enough feasibiltiy studies on various businesses and decided that a polythene bag shop is what he would start since his area muranga lacked this. He knew the best place to find a good purchase was Nairobi. To assist him to find the best deals was his best  friend Kigo who has a business there.
So when Kigo came to the village one weekend Mwangi sought his counsel, Kigo revealed to him that he owns a polythene wholesale shop on kirinyaga road in Nairobi. He wanted to stock goods worthKshs. 100,000/= but kigo dissuaded him from purchasing them in bulk and advised that he increases his stocks gradually  depending on the performance of his business. After the deal was closed now came the purchase day.
He went with mwangi to show him the shop, the main section where orders were made and cash paid was separated from the main store., there was also a corridor for goods waiting to be transported. to confuse mwangi, kigo asked him to pay the money at the corridor because he did not want other clients to note the lower price he was offering him, and told him once he had paid and given a receipt, he would go with a handcart to ferry the luggage. So mwangi gave kshs.50,000 to mwangi and was issued a receipt. mwangi excused himself that he was going to meet another client within the city.
when he went (mwangi) to the shop to pick the commodities, is when he realised he had been conned by a longtime friend because the attendant told him that kigo didn,t own anything there but was just a loader at Nyamakima . Furthermore the receipt he was issued differed with the name of the shop. mwangi returned to murang'a  a dejected man.
