The Swahili are an urban people, as they grow to adulthood many Zanzibari girls, like their Lamu cousins, learn city ways and can take on a streetwise attitude.
Waswahili ni watu wa mjini, kadiri wanavyokuwa watu wazima, wasichana wengi wa kiZanzibari, hupenda zaidi ndugu zao wa Lamu, huku wakijifunza taratibu za mijini na huko wanaweza kujifunza tabia za mitaani.
