SOMEWHERE IN LOFA COUNTY LIBERIA
By Ibraheem Muhammad Sharif
One upon a time in a cute little town up the hill, and sloping down the hill called Tusu.
The people were prosperous in farming and gardening.
The streets and houses were hygienic and sturdy.
However, Tusu had a horrible problem.
Monkeys: they ran in the streets.
They filled the houses.
Spoiled the food, and the brook (falakorni),
Tusu used it as their drinking water.
Scared the children, and generally made living miserable for everyone
Now, the people of Tusu disliked giving money away,
