Good day my fellow steemians, hope your day is going very well. Am excited to participate in this wonderful contest by @saintkelvin17 about I can tell a story which my story is going to illustrate on You will reap what you sow.

Story begins

Once upon a time, there was a poor farmer in a small village who got married to a woman named Holla, which the wife gave birth to a daughter after so many years of expecting a child.

It was terrible for them to stay for 7years without any child. They have done all what they know and all what others have described for them to do in other to bear children, but all to no avail.

The next advise from his best friend was to get married to another woman, and the man took the advise and went ahead and marry a second wife named Kell.

But after the period of 7years, the wife was conceived and it was a shocking news to the entired villagers, the second wife and even to the husband himself.

After some short period of time, the same year the first wife conceived, the second wife also conceived and they both became pregnant.

During the time of delivery, the first wife died in the process of giving birth after a month interval the second gave birth also and it was still a baby girl. While the father name the Hola's daughter Hilda and the second daughter Vicke

They both gave birth to baby girl, in the time of growing, the second wife keeps maltreating the first wife's daughter just because she was not the real mother to the girl, taking her as a slave and she was always the one doing everything in the house, all this was not to the notice of the father, because he was not staying in the same house with them, he only goes to the wife's house to eat daily and goes back to his house to sleep.

One blessed morning, Hilda went to the stream as usual to fetch water as an obedient and respectful girl, on her way to the stream, she saw an old woman who was actually in need of help to carry her firewood, Hilda went ahead and helped her to carry the firewood to her house and she wanted to go back to stream, the old woman told her to help her cook some food and she did so and served the old woman with the food.

When going back the old woman told her not to go back to the stepmother's house anymore, rather let her go to the house her father is staying and check her mother's room.

When she went back, she check her mother's room and found so much wealth, gold, diamond, money and so many valuable things, from there she was so blessed and she became wealthy, she got married at the age of her 21 and the house was blessed with children.

While the other daughter Vicke and her mother never succeeded, Vicke got pregnant to an unknown man and went back to the mother's house and added so much suffering to the mother.

Later after so many years, Vicke was tasted HIV positive, and that was how her life was so frustrating. The mother later died with sickness of the heart, which she suffered for many years as well.

To the end, Hilda as an obedient child became successful with her family and get 3 children, 2 boys and a girl.
