A new day came and the sun rose above Okunde.
The imperial warriors were already set to continue the construction of the bridge over the river in the west gate of the village under the supervision of the Commander in Chief's henchman Baba.
To show the way forward, the latter planted the first shovel of the day in the pile of cement and without any further ado, the men in uniform started to build the remaining half of the bridge.
They were always under the influence of the magic potion that had been poured into the porridge that they ate as breakfast the day before.
They tirelessly mounted all the key components of the arch bridge and by noon three-quarters of the infrastructure was done.
The interim aide-de-camp Baba suggested that the men take a short break to dehydrate themselves and swallow some little chocolate cookies that had been prepared by the cook of the administrative headquarters before resuming the construction of the remaining quarter.
