EPISODE 12.

Gambo Elvis.

She had no choice but to follow the prince to the palace, the prince didn't want her to look like a gypsy. And offered to buy her a dress but she denied,

"You cannot look like this before the king,"

"My prince it is my real self,"

"But i am not comfortable to present you to the king looking tattered,"

"That is the mistake people make," her statement shocked the prince,

"What mistake?"

"When a richman pays a visit to the poor people, instead from the poor man to be themselves, they borrow silver linens, sparkling dishes and prepare the most delicious expensive meal to please the richman. The rich man doesn't bother helping again, because they seem better off without his aid. The same way when peasants go to visit the king they try to suit his eyes. As for me, let him despise my filthy rags, let me not try to please him, while i live in penury,"

"Wow, you are really an inteligent humble girl. You are right."

The prince had no choice but to bring her to the king like that. When she appeared before him, the king wondered why she was a ramshackle fellow. After listening to her, the king was so pleased and commanded the guards to bring her mother to the palace. She and her mum were given a place to live in. The king decided to take care of her and her mum as sign of his gratitude. He wanted her good influence around his son, and also to help the poor widow and her child.

The new school year was going to begin soon and the entire school was going to be shocked to find the new Jenifer. She was dwelling with royalty and was going to be driven to school with the prince on a ride.

While Maika and her friends were bitterly waiting to disgrace her during the new school year, p

Plotting to make her quit school and desuade the prince from liking her, Jenifer never knew her foes were plotting evil against her. 

Let's wait and see.

After some minutes, Pa James came out with a tray of a plate of food and a bottle water and placed it on the dinning table.

"Go and eat...", Pa James told Max.

"Ha, no sir, there is no need...", Max was saying when Pa James cut him off.

"There is no need abi... look after eating, we are going to have a serious discussion, so tell me by then that you don't have the strength to talk and see whether you will enjoy what will happen thereafter".

On hearing this, Max had no choice than to head to the dining table, he appreciated Pa James for the food, prayed over the food and began to satisfy that weary stomach of his.

Immediately he took the first spoon, his weary bones revived, he could feel exactly how Jonathan felt when he tasted the honey after a long time of not having food in his stomach.

He silently thanked God for making Pa James to force him to eat the food.

When he was done eating, he looked at Pa James then he picked the plate and tray and went into the kitchen. He found his way there. 

As he entered the kitchen, he washed up the plate and the tray, then looked around and then saw where plates, trays and kitchen cutleries were kept, then he went and dropped both tray and plate.

He went back to the sitting room, then came over to Pa James and stood there for some seconds thinking.

Pa James eyes were closed, so he didn't know whether he was thinking or he was sleeping and he didn't know whether he should wake him up from either of the actions, so he decided to appreciate him to know whether he will respond.

"Thank you sir for the meal, I really enjoyed it", Max said checking Pa James' reaction.

Pa James flung his eyes open, "Oh you're done, I was meditating so I didn't know when you were done".

Pa James looked towards the dinning table...

"I have already washed the plate and the tray sir and have kept them at the appropriate place", Max said sensing Pa James looked at the dinning table to check out the plate and the tray.

Pa James chuckled briefly at Max's answer, "I'm glad you enjoyed the meal, ok so... what really happened, I want to hear your own side of the story".
