Yes, yes, yes. This one time, I had an accident in Muranga. And so, the guys who came to help me, of course, they were all speaking in Kikuyu. So, when I switched to their language, they kind of softened. Even, you know, initially, they were not very cooperative, but when I greeted them in Kikuyu, they warmed up to me and they quickly, you know, assisted me.

Even when it came to my token of appreciation, I didn't have much money on me, and what I gave them, they quickly accepted without demanding more. And I want to believe that language played a role there, because I kind of masqueraded as a Kikuyu, and they passed me for that.
