There live a small nucleated rural settlement called 'Tarya' and in that village, the people living there believes in the saying "farming is our pride" ,but there is a lazy guy called fredrick he doesn't like to farm or do anything that is so stressful.
So one day he has no food and has no one to go to because he is already known for his non challant and lazy attitude,so then he stood up from his room and went outside to seek for his daily bread and on his way out, he realised that no one is at home and every where was quiet and the children are far away from house probably playing or something ,then he turned by his left hand side and realised that the nearby room which is his neighbours room mama abu ,then he worked towards the room and on reaching there, he saw a plate of food which was left opened then he quickly ran towards it and rush the food. Then a voice from afar said mama Abu you're back immediately he heard that he quickly ran out and not and pretend nothing was going on
As mama abu worked into the compound she saw her door opened and whispers to herself saying abu will not me kill me in this house,then she brought down her load and shouted abu! abu!! Then abu answered yes mama then she said who left this door opened with a painful looking stick on her hand and then abu started talking in deep fear and said mummy i forgot to lock the door am sorry please forgive me ,then she said don't try this next time and he replied yes mama i won't.
Later on she asked him to take the load she brought back from the farm inside the house on reaching the room, he saw that the food they left opened was finished then he came out and said mama 'the food we poisoned for the stubborn rat is finished then the mama replied it's time to show that rat what am made up of on hearing that, Mr fredrick came outside and said tell me you're joking they asked joking about what? and he said about the food she replied ohhh the food it's time to show that rat my wrath!!! Mr fredrick started crying saying am the one who ate the food and she asked what do you mean by you're the one who ate the food he replied am the one who ate the food while you were away. hmm what a pity for poor Mr Frederick anyways that's the reward you get for taking what does not belongs to you
THE END
