 I lay on the rafia mat, facing the sky at the front of our hut
 
   My life is aimless as I lay hopelessly waiting for manner to come,I refused to listen to the inner voice telling me to get up and do something.

  With the level of my education,still jobless at my age I have to relocate to the village when I couldn't cope with city life.

 I've been at the mercy of mama,she feed me 3 square meal without complaining.

My mother even when she's alive would have push me out with Insult,mama has been my backbone she support me both financially and emotionally.

 “Ademide you're still here on the mat” she said joining me on the mat all smile

  “mama you're back,how's farm"

 “farm is good ,that's how you always ask won't you be useful rather than wasting away your time"

“ mama do you expect me to be following you to the farm,I need a job”

“ This ideology of yours won't lead you anywhere"

“ mama I'm trying my chicken sweat is not worth it"

  “hmmmm my son,what an adult saw while sitting even if a child stretched his neck till tomorrow he may not see it,let me tell you a story"

  “ mama I'm not the same little boy who's always eager to hear your petty folktale”

  “ a child is oblivious of an eagle it's calling it a bat, folktales isn't just about entertainment or only for the kids, it's to Impact some lessons"

  “But still this isn't time for folktales, you look sad"

   “ Once upon a time...."
To be continue tommorow

What sort of story did mama want to tell ademide?

Can you guess in the comment section?
