A real man
In the great community of Ajoki, in Edo State. There lived a man named Edoblr. He had seven children from his lovely wife maned Eki.
They were living successful, because Mr Edobor was a farmer. Although Mr Edobor had little problem that him sold some of his stored food, this affected hom during the dry season..
One night, his wife woke him up and complained that they just ate the last tuber of yam, nothing left for the children to eat .
Mr Edobor replied that she should not worry that the following morning.he will go to the inside the forest to search for food for the family.
The next day, very early morning. Mr Edobor wént into the forest insearch for what the family will eat. Inside the forest, he saw a very tree filled with fruits. He said taking some of the fruits home with this two tubers of yam will go a long way to assist his family, but this tree had few branches for him to claimb.
He dropped all that he had and took off his shoes and started climbing the tree. After he had reached the middle of the tree, he fell down and broke his leg. While he was screaming, he was looking at the beautiful fruits at the tree.
He stood up with his broken leg and started claimbing, when he reached that same position at the middle he fell down again and broke his hand.
With nobody to help, he was screaming after a while, he looked at the fruits at the top of the tree and summoned courage to claimb with a broken leg and broken hand.
He struggled and grabbed the tree and started claimbing the tree with a broken hand and leg. He claimbed, this time almost to the top where he can get the fruits, his hand held a weak branch of the tree , suddenly he fell down and broke his leg.
With all these injuries Mr Edobor rested and started fixing his broken hands and leg.
He said I cannot return home empty handed, I must take that fruits home. He noticed that the day is getting darker and his family must eat.
He went again and started claimbing the tree, this time he was very careful not to fall again.
He got to the top, as he was cutting the fruits with happiness in his mind and with a smile on his face. The tree fell down from it root although Mr Edobor did not injure, he landed on safe path.
While he stood up he was very happy and picked up all the fallen fruits in the tree. While going home his wife saw him from distance and ran to assist him with the loads on his hands.
He was welcomed by his wife and children who sympathize with him over the injuries. He too was so happy seeing his family again.
And advised them to always join hands together to maintain their saves and never give up in any challenging situations.
THE END
