A child named William Kamkwamba was born in the time that magic was ruling the world, which means that people are still believing about magic. Science in that time are not yet known much as these present days. Many stories about magic was passed down from generation to generation. William was a half Yao who lived in a Masitala village at Malawi with his family who lived on a farm. When he was just six years old, he was misunderstood by one trader about stealing the gumballs. He felt of being cursed by that man and was very scared of the power in magic (he was thinking that a wizard would took his life). A wizard in that time was quite a powerful person who uses magic. His father calms him down and took care of his problems. His father was not scared of magic, He believed and trusted in God. Even though he have heard about many stories told by his father(William's grandfather), He still stood strong and fear no magic. After William listened his father's story and teaching, he started to put trust in him and understands the truth. His father was actually telling him to respect the wizard, but to remember that with God on his side, the wizards will have no power.
William was actually like today's kid. He played child games, watch movies, and do some activities with his friends. But there's many things he had experienced that is quite different from us. His father always warned him against playing with magic, but he still doesn't care much. Finally he learned about his consequences. He was cheated by a person named Shabani who promises him about a magic. He thought it would work but he was then beaten by another person in a fight. He was wounded and this was his first experience in magic. He still doesn't understand much about this real world, there is much more things to explore.
