National Road 12, somewhere between Namialo and Monapo, in Nampula province.
We are in an area of major cashew nut production. By the roadside, several young people wait for the chance to sell their nuts to the travellers passing by. Whoever arrives first wins.
In no time at all, a dozen full bowls invade the cabin of the car. Everyone wants to try their luck. In the midst of the confusion, someone is finally chosen. No resentment is left between them. No arguments, only luck dictated by probability.
Today it fell to one. Next time, luck will fall to another.
