| 🌜 Share with us the tales that made your childhood memorable. (A short tale, please.) |

Growing up as a child, I always anticipate to hear moonlight stories from my parents. One of the moonlight stories that I still remember till date was the story of two siblings Oku and Ada. They were foreigners in a Community that forbids foreigners from going to their Village square on Eke market day because it was sacred.
Their mom usually go on a trip to buy goods for her business and she usually stay for days. Whenever she is going on the trip, she usually tell her children not to leave the house on Eke market. One-day, Oku persuaded his sister and they went out to the village square to play with other children on Eke market day and nothing happened.
On another occasion, they went to the market square and were captured by the palace bodyguards who took them to the king and he converted them to Palace maids as punishment for disobeying the sacred tradition.

Technology has taken away the funtime children had with their grannies and they are so engrossed with gadgets that some of them do not know how to socialize properly with people.
It's a pity.
