Tales from my father 2! The words of my father were words of wisdom! My father said when a child washes his hands clean, he dine with elders because I had washed my extremely clean made me his favourite and he told me a lot of stories. He said, many years ago lived a slothful incurably lazy fellow that never believed in hard work! He would do anything and everything to shy away from participating in farm work during the planting seasons. He severally feigned illness during the planting and weeding seasons but was never ever ill during the harvest. On this particular planting season he decided to travel to visit a friend of his some villages away. Unknown to him his friends village was preparing to go to war with a neighbouring village and were actually sourcing for able bodied men to use as mecenaries, after all a friend in need, they said was a friend in deed. So he ended up being conscripted into a war that had nothing to do with him. He didnt return from the war! The moral of the story? Again, like my father used to say, use your tongue to count your teeth
