Stephen comes from a poor family. He is the only child of his parents, and he did everything to help them. He is a diligent boy and his parents love and admire him. Everyone in the village talked about him, wishing they could have a child like him. "He's so adorable, they say"
One day, while going to the farm, Stephen encountered a man who was lost in the bush. Terrified, the man screamed, 'please don't harm me! I'll give you anything you want, but please don't harm me. I have a family".
"I don't harm people," Stephen said. By the way. What are you doing here alone in the bush?
"Umm, I came to pay a visit my aunt, but I lost my way. I think I've forgotten the road to her place".
"It's okay, I can help you if you let me".
"That will be so kind of you".
"Okay, what's your aunt's name?".
"Her name is Katherine George".
"Wait, you mean Katharine George, my mother, your aunt"?.
"Wait, are you saying Katharine George, my aunt, is your mom? This is confusing".
"I'm confused as well".
"Please take me to her" .
"Okay, this way, please".
Stephen's mother was sweeping the floor when her son arrived with someone she didn't know. "Who is this young man you came with?".
"I saw him lost in the bush, and he told me he was looking for Katharine George. I thought it might be you, so I brought him here."
"Young Man, who are you and why are you looking for Katharine George?".
"Ma'am, my name is John Richard George.".
"Oh my goodness, I'm Katharine George, you're so big and awesome, I can't even recognize you anymore! Please come sit down. My husband will soon be back".
He sat down and said, wow, Aunt! This is really you? I can't believe it! I've been planning to come for a while now, so I decided to come today. It's so nice to see you again.
" You're welcome, my son. So, how have you been? How is life treating you? I hope you're not having any challenges?."
"Not at all, Aunt".
"That's good. So, how is your wife and kids? Or, are you not married yet?".
"Smile, I'm married with two kids and they're fine".
"That's very good. So where are your wife and kids?".
"They couldn't come because my wife have an important appointment to attend".
"I wish I could see them. So, how was your journey?".
"It was stressful, and I got lost. Thankfully, your son saved me".
Her husband came while they were still discussing "What is going on here?.
"Honey, this is John Richard, my nephew. John this is Lucas, my husband".
"Oh that's nice. You're welcome, my son".
"it my pleasure".
"Let me go get some food so we can eat".
She went in to bring the food, and they started eating. While eating John asked Stephen,
'What class or level are you in school?" Stephen looked sad when John asked him the question. His mother replied,
'Stephen is not in school because of financial issues".
"Wait, you mean as old as Stephen, he hasn't been to school?".
"Cried, yes we couldn't afford to send him to school because we don't have money".
"Mum, it's okay. I'm fine. I'm not complaining".
"It's okay, Aunt. I will take him with me when I'm go back to the city, and I will admit him in school".
"That will be so nice of you. Thank you so much", joyfully.
"Smile, please don't mention".
