in Steem Ghana3 years ago (edited)

Fellow Ghanaians, I greet you all
I have waited for a long time for contest like this, because I have the interest of becoming one of the popular story and movie writers.
This is a story of my own imagination and I titled it "Do Not Easily Conclude"
Here it goes:

There lived a family of three, husband and wife and their only daughter. The woman was a teacher and the husband was a trader, and the child was only in basic class 1. The man goes to far and near towns to do his business activities and he normally spend at least two days at the place before returning home, because of the distance and the road conditions. The wife also was involved in some petty trading, usually after school hours and also on holidays and weekends.
One day, the man left for his business activities to a very far town and the wife and daughter didn't go to school because it was a public holiday, and as we all know, public holidays are for every government institutions to have a break on that day in order to pay respect to a certain important event that took place in the past. Early that day, around 10am, the woman brought her table out to make some income, as she observed the holiday, and she was there with the daughter.
There were these two guys who were keeping an eye on them, waiting for an opportunity where the mother will leave the child alone at the place so that they can kidnap the girl. They stood there for about 30 minutes no chance was coming, and fortunately on their part, an unknown young man came around to buy some water, he was holding an amount and the woman couldn't get change for him on the table, so she left the child under the care of the man and went inside the house to get the man the change.
Immediately the woman went inside, one of the guys came to the man and the child, and told the man child that her mother was calling her, the man who was sitting with her, told the guy that her mother just went inside to get him change but the man insisted and kept pointing at a direction that the mother was there and said the girl should get up so that he takes her there. The man who was there with her later gave the guy the permission to take the girl to the mother. When they were going, the other guy came with a motorbike and the girl was kidnapped and kept on the bike and sent away.
Earlier before the man came to buy the water, a popular mad man in the town snatched the girl's sweet and ran away, and the mother of the girl jokingly said she will beat the mad man when she catches him.
The two young men then took the girl to an uncompleted building, a little far from the house of the girl and their intention was to kill her and use parts of her body for money rituals. The young girl was crying for help and the guys kept telling her to shut up her mouth.
Luckily on the part of the girl, the mad man who snatched her sweet was walking around the building, when he her the cry of the little girl, he knew it was something bad, so he took a wood and sneaking into the building, he hit one of the men down and the other one escaped, and because the hit was not intensive, he also escaped. The mad man untied the girl and took her to the house, because he recognized her.
When they got to where the woman sells the things, the man who bought the water was already accused of kidnapping the little girl and was beaten mercilessly leaving him half-dead.
After the man spoke all his heart out, he was still not believed by the people, and with all the beatings and after he has said the truth and they gave him no hearing ear, he started to pray with praises and saying God should forgive the people for they do not know what they were doing.
When the mad man brought the girl, the girl then spoke everything out and said the man was innocent. There was a lady who also recognized the man and said he was a man of God, that was only doing his usual evangelism. The people start leaving one by one, and the man was taken to the hospital for treatment and immediate attention.

Moral from the story

  1. Let's be gentle when attending to matters
  2. Be prayerful and have faith in God
  3. Let's try as much as possible not to always leave our children lonely
  4. Let's respect every individual, no matter the situation of the person

End of my story, thank you all for your time
