TALES FROM BEYOND

David returned to the village after three years of hustling in the city of Abuja to make a living. Being the first child of his widowed mum,he returned to ask questions from the mum as to why life has being too mean to him and his siblings.
His mum: My son, I am sad to see how bad life has being with you and your siblings.
Your grandfather was a wealthy man who had several possessions but in all his own possession, his wife was barren. They tried all they could do medically but all proved abortive. He was advised to see a native doctor and he yielded without much persuasion because of his desperation.

His mum pulsed and continued the story. The native doctor told your grandfather that he will have children but non will ever be wealthy in life.
David: What!
His mum: All your uncles and your late dad are all hard working but not seeing dividends for their hard work.
David: Mummy, thank you for that information because that poverty can not continue with me!. I can not be poor in life!.
He said that and left his mum for the city.
