Mango horse!

Penda asked me about a horse.

Me: Who’s horse?
Penda: Mango horse.

Susana kept insisting Penda was not asking about a horse, but though Penda was difficult to understand (among other things, her Rs were Ls) I was certain she was asking about a horse. Specifically, a mango horse. A little later, Penda asked again, “Do you have a horse?”

Me: No.
Susanna: She says…
Penda: Do you have a chicken?
Me: Chickens? No. And you? Do you have a horse?
Penda: No.
Me: Do you have a chicken?
Penda: No.
Susana: Binta, me, I have a chicken!
Me: How many?
Susana: Two.
