 A long time ago in the year 0101, in the great City of Edo State Nigeria. The king of the forest came up with a plan to amuse his people, that he wanted to know between the biggest and the smallest animal who would win in a race.

Then came out the biggest elephant and the smallest squirrel in the forest.These animals stood before the  king to express their interest in the race. Seeing this, the king was happy and placed a prize of free grazing without  any interruption from the lions and tigers in the forest for thirty years.

These animals were happy and willing to compete to claim their honour and the king fixed a date for the race that they should all go and prepare.

The elephant was so confident of itself as it parade itself in the forest before other animals  " The squirrel cannot race with me"  This had gone viral in the forest to the hearing of  other animals that are seriously waiting for the day of the competition.

While the squirrel was secretly planning, knowing the fact that the elephant was big bút not smart. So , to outsmart the elephant was to be faster and crafty.The squirrel had lot of plans because the prize Will grant all it's fellow squirrel the freedom of grazing too from the intimidation of the lions.

The squirrel in his pondering decided to asked the king " How far will the race be and the venue of this competition?" 

The king told his messenger to disclose the venue and the real date of the event. The squirrel was so happy and went home planning.

The squirrel met with three of it friends and toldt them what to do at each pole at the event to last destination.

The king's town to all the clans and informed all viewers that by tomorrow no animal should be found in certain in the kingdom because of the activity of the competition.

Both animals had sleepiness night, thinking how of how will the competition be and how beautiful to win such a competition. To secure free grazing and lasting freedom from the attacks of the wild animals. Which means moving freely at all times without fear for thirty years, meaning many generations will benefit of this gesture of the king.

Above all we the squirrel needed it most because the elephant are big in size even sometimes they are prey too. But we our size is a full meal for the loins.

Now the glorious days has come, both animals stood in a straight line, while the referee blew his whistle. Instantly the elephant out ran the squirrel but to the surprise of the elephant was another was another squirrel running ahead, without asking the elephant the running squirrel but the elephant was surprised of what it saw.

Hoping to see the last pole for the final race..The was surprised to see a squirrel running ahead, this time very close to the final post. The elephant ran but the squirrel got to final post and was declared the winner of the competition. 

The squirrel was celebrated but elephant interrupted the celebration. So the king called the judge of the competition to know the truth, the judge 

declared the squirrel the winner of the competition, that it was the squirrel that hit the final post.

The king spoke to the elephant not to worry about what it feels, that there will be other competition some other time.

The gave the squirrel an opportunity to speak about it success.

The squirrel thank the king for his gestures and said "What belong to everyone, everyone must be involve"

That was how the generations of the squirrel enjoyed free grazing for thirty years.

The vulchure insist lets go back home. the eagle refused. The following day the vulchure left flying back home. it arrived safely and landed at the back of the compound. When some children saw it they ran and grabbed the vulchure planning to kill it. fortunately an old man was passing bye, he stopped and told the children to let go off the vulchure. That the vulchure was a long time friend to man. That nobody kills a vulchure to eat it meat nether will you use it feather to clean your ears. That it was forbidden. That was how the vulchure was safe and the eagle never return. Moral lesson Every success has it risk Dont focus on the past home is home freedom is the best
