Hello steemians..... I am back again with another captivating short story about what happened today in my school...
I actually came to this school purposely to teach these pupils, but I find myself learning from them instead.....

In a very small village called kafanchan in Kaduna state Nigeria west Africa, today been Friday 22nd June, 2018. We came to school again with minds fully prepared to be educated.
Its more like a usual routine that may be nothing new to write about.... But you know, when you have vibrant, intelligent, and smart kids around, you will definitely have something talk to talk about....

At about 9:06 am ( Nigeria time), I was in class teaching the kids simple tips to a healthy living in health education. Where I emphasized more on personal hygiene. I told them to always make sure they washe their hands before and after using the rest room (toilet) with soap and water. Also, I told them to always Wash their hands with soap and clean water before and after eating. And finally, I told them to make sure they take their bath at least 3 times a day, and to always put on clean clothes......

While I was busy telling all these tips, one of the pupils called Favour (4 years old) just frauned her face, put up her hand and said "uncle, you got it wrong by saying using soap and water makes us clean." I wonder why will she challenge me with Such courage and boldness. So I asked her " why would you say I am wrong my dear?". And she replied " uncle. If soaps and water makes us clean as you said, then how comes our towels gets dirty that we have to wash them again and again?".....

Hmmmmmm.... Sounds crazy but really deep. I then replied " well my dear, the only help to remove a level of dirt's and jams and not all". (Just for her level:nursery 1).
