This is the novel am writing since, about what laziness can cause.( Am also telling children the Story)
There was no food in a village called Amaofa in our neighbouring village. Rain had not fallen for some months, so all the people in the village were working hard and planting different crops on their farm land.
Ichie mbe( Titled name ) always refuse going to work with the villagers, but he love eating porridge yam, fruits and even like drinking. All the villagers decided that they will be eating together since they did not have much food, but only Ichie mbe that refuse to join them because he did not want to work. So all the villages agreed that if one family cooks today, all the villages will go and eat, because they are doing things together( It is rotational agreement ).
The fellowing day, Ichie mbe went to mazi odogwu's house, he saw all the villagers eating together in his house, they were happy. He could not join them because he refuse to work with them, he became very angry and he is very hungry too but no food for him to eat, he started looking for what to eat but he found nothing. Ichie mbe remembered that one of the villager's said that they will meet at Ichie amadi's house the next day, so he went home and started waiting for the next day. The next day Ichie mbe went to Ichie amadi's house, and saw him cooking for the villagers, he went home and prepared himself and went back to Ichie amadi's house. Ichie amadi put two big pots of porridge yam on fire in front of his house, he went inside his house to take plates and spoons, but he left the porridge yam on fire. Ichie mbe saw the two pots of porridge yam on the fire, he quickly open the pot and put some porridge yam in a bowl he came with and put it on his head, he find something and tired It very well and now use his cap to cover his head so that somebody may not see it. Immediately; Ichie amadi come out of his house, and saw Ichie mbe he greeted him and started discussing with him for some time, but the porridge yam was very hot and the heat is affecting Iche mbe's head. By the time he finished discussing with Ichie amadi and got home, all the hairs on his head had removed ( he had a serious injury on his head, very bad one ), because of the hotness of the porridge yam. All the villagers always see him as a village galavanting man ( he can't work but you must see him everywhere in the village, galavanting up and down), three to four days later they did not see him anywhere in the village, all the villagers started asking about him but no body knows his where about.The fellowing day all the elders in village went to his house to know what is happening to him, because they have not been seeing him around the village square again, but when they finally reach there, they saw him laying down outside his house. The elders ask him what was the problem?
Ichie mbe started cryingπ and told them what happened to him and he also said; is not good to be a lazy person, all the elders started laughing at him( Hahahaha...πππ€ π). One of the elders, say to Ichie mbe, you should have join us and work together when we all are working but u are laughing at us that time "you see your life now"( said by mazi ukaegbu ), Mazi awu said to him, A lazy person will always go hungry hahahaha...π€ he laughed, I hope you have learnt your lessons today you have to be hardworking in this life ( All the elders said, our fellow Chief Sorry oooo for that, and try to be working because no food for a lazy man), End of my story.
