                 Before Dawn.

         Adesua came back from her aunt's place in the middle of the night only to find out that the six members were dead. She could not cry nor wail, she just stood still hoping it was all a dream but it wasn't.

         She moved to her next neighbor's house to call for help but they were also dead!!. She tried the third house but everyone there were also dead. Then it dawned on her that everyone in the village was dead. She wondered who killed them all. When she got to the end of the village, it was already morning so she could clearly see the damage done to her village but nobody told her that there was going to be war. She decided to leave the village, she went back to her house and started packing her belongings including the valuable things that were not her own.                                                   Since she could not dig a burial ground she left the village heartbroken not knowing particularly where to head to.when she got to the forest,she saw an empty hut, cleaned it up and arranged her belongings there .There and then the beginning of her room was now clear to her,no food, no money,no education,she cried because she has once decided to become a lawyer.

   Adesua locked her house and started looking for what to eat,luckily for her she saw a pawpaw and coconut trees.she plucked as many as she could get and headed back home.she ate and ate to her satisfaction then she drank the little water she got back at her village .when it was in the evening,she prayed and slept.

   It was until the sun shone through the little window that Adesua knew that it was morning. She prayed, spread her bed, the bed she found on the house moved out. She looked for lots of fire wood and set it up she scliced pawpaw and coconut pounded it and put it on the bed, thinking. She thought of where to start her life from,her education, where to make money from.

     To start with,she planted cassava,banana and yam,they were part of the things she brought from the village. Adesua used all her strength to dig the ground in other to get water. After successfully digging the ground she watered her plants and had her bath . She was pleased with herself after washing her dirty clothes, she went out. After trekking for two hours she found a village, full of activities . she saw children in school uniform, they were going to school, she thought she also saw women selling different goods. Adesua was so happy.she knew she could still continue schooling if she was hard-working.After sighting where the school was .she went back home satisfied with herself.

   Six months later,Adesua started harvested bananas,yam and cassava.she also plucked different fruits like pawpaw cassava,mangoes,oranges,etc. She was so happy. After properly arranging her goods she went to a village known as "peace village". She sold everything making a sum of ten thousand naira, she was overjoyous. She went back home thinking of how to start spending the money. After one month, Adesua started schooling and she was in grade 9, what modern days call Senior class 1 art. She studied her books very well even though she was a farmer and also a trader. Before the end of the year, Adesua had sixty thousand naira, she was very rich . She bought new clothes and footwear.

     During Christmas, Adesua relocated to the village. She lived a comfortable life. Being in the Senior class 3 she studied even harder since she would soon write an exam. After the exam, she was awarded a scholarship to study law in America. Adesua went to the university at the age of seventeen.

    After six years of studying law, she graduated as the student in her department. In the university, she met ifeoluwa George became a very diligent and just lawyer who dealth in crime cases like rape, murder, and arson.

   She gave birth to two lovely kids and lived happily ever after. From that day, lawyer Adesua George remained in the mouths of everyone.
