The Ungrateful child

There was a woman in a particular village after she married a man she had a delay in child bearing for many years, they visited many hospitals and herbal homes. There exception to have a child proved abortive but they continued having hope in their creator. Eventually after many years this woman conceived, when it was time for her to deliver she gave birth to a bouncing baby boy, the parents continued to nurture him and to take adequate care of him because of what they have witnessed in having a child in life. Afterwhile he became of age also started primary school. His parents labored hard to make sure he was educated.

One day, his mother was not around and the boy was trying to cook for himself using kerosene stove after he lighted the stove he wanted to pour kerosene into the stove, the stove caught fire and burnt the boy also as the boy was burnimg the mother came in to rescue the boy and urgently offed his shirt. Mistakenly the fire from the boy shirt burnt his mother beyond recognition.

After his primary school he wanted to further his education to secondary school but his parents were financially handicapped then the situation compelled the boy to stay at home. Later his father travelled out of the village and left the family un-catered for. The responsibility of taking care of the boy rested only on his mother. The boy will always be feeling sad anytime he saw his mates going to school therefore inferiority complex crepped in but hismother was giving him full assurance that she would further his education.

In the course of her labour the mother met a very rich man who engaged the woman in taking care of his compound along with paying her reasonable amount of money, from there the woman was able to acquire money to further her child into secondary school. Down the line, his secondary education was completed. The boy aspired to go further in his academic pursuit, the woman also was very much ready and encouraged because the boy was brainy child.

He gained admission into higher institution and he became an Engineer, he secured a very lucrative job. Finally, he got married and had his own family in a big town where he was working. The wife gave birth to Twins- a baby boy and a baby girl. When his mother heard about the good news she was happy and as necessary she had to visit her son, wife and the children to perform the motherhood responsibility to take care of the babies.

On the naming ceremony, the mother got there and saw the people that came to celebrate with them when he saw his mother coming very close to his house he sent somebody to go and meet his mother and hid her somewhere and didn't allow his mother to show up to witness the ceremony after the ceremony the woman was released at night and she wasn't permitted to touch nor carry the babies because she looked disfigured due to the fire she rescued her son from when he was little. Anytime his mother wants to come out he will hide his mother. He hated his mother because of the way she looked from the fire outbreak.

His mother got angry and exposed everything, that she got the disability when she was trying to save her son's life and if she didn't save his life from that disaster he would have died. She then decided to go to the village because she was bittered by her son's reaction and treatment to her.

God had blessed the woman through the rich man she was working for. She already renovated the house and everything was different. After some time, they needed a local concoction to take care of the twins which they could not get anywhere except from the village...they had no option rather than travel to the village to meet the mother and to even locate the house of his mother was difficult for him....

On getting to the house he greeted his mother. His mother said "I don't know you and I don't have a son like you". "The only son I have won't like to see me not to talk of coming to locate me" at the moment her son started weeping regrettably...he stayed for some days pleading to his mother, brought elders to appeal to his mother. His mother didn't welcome him.

After much pleading the mother asked "Are you sure I'm your mother"? he answered Yes. His mother ask again "Can I be accepted in your house with your wife"? he said Yes. His mother now decided to prepare the concoction and gave it to him and decided to take the mother along totown. His mother was staying with them permanently, there was a reunion between his mother and her son.

The end!!!
