Once upon a time!
Time time!
There was a time in the land of Okwe where food scarcity increased to its maximum.
People were leaving the village to other villages in search of food and shelter as well but some who were the heads and leaders of the land remained to see the end.
While there was hunger in the land, some acquired the skills of fishing and making fishing boats which helped them in getting some foods for the family and loved ones.
Obi's family, the first son of Kalu were the only family of Kalu who remained during the period.
Obi was a good fisherman and he used his skills to make money which he used to marry during the good days.
One day, Obi went out to fish and came back home with not even a fingerling.
This happened for a whole week and there was no more food in the house for the family.
Another beautiful morning came and Obi's mind thought of going beyond his fishing zone so as to make at least a catch for the family.
He successful went beyond the sea boarders, casted his net soo deep that he had to leave the boat to swim with the net. Luckily for him, the next got hooked on something big as expected.
Obi who knows how to swim quickly rose to the surface, located his boat and fixed the net for drawing.
He dragged and drew the next but the catch was soo big that his boat could not carry.
He managed to drag it out from dangerous deep heavy sea wave to lighter zone, went deep to see what he has caught.
Waw, it's a big fish, wounded and it's bleeding heavily.
He went back to his boat and continued to paddle it to the shore were other fishermen could help him out.
While the big fish was bleeding, other smaller hungry fishes were coming around and eating the flesh as fast as possible without Obi noticing it.
As he was coming out, the paddling was getting easier and easier until it was his normal boat.
Obi then felt like "it's my normal boat" and he redirected to another abandoned shore so that he'll be the only person to benefit from his catch. As he reached the shore, very hungry and tired, he dragged out his net from the water and what he saw was just the fish's head and bones scattered on the net.
Oh, God why?
Why have you chosen to punish me this way?
Hungry angered tired Obi laid down in his boat and passed.
