MAGIC POT(Phase 2)
Ola swam and swam, he never stopped to look
back. Segun was a better swimmer and Ola
thought he was behind him.
Ola was a stone
throw away from the beach. His arms were weak.
He was tired. He had been swimming for a long
time. A travelling speedboat met him as he was
struggling with the water currents. They slowed
down. Two owners of the speedboat dived to
rescue him. He was breathing in an almost
suffocating manner. He was taken to the beach
where he regained consciousness and explained
his ordeal.
A third part of the fishermen paddled their
canoes in search of Segun. They searched and
searched, some dived into the lagoon expecting
to see his dead body but he was nowhere to be
found.
By the tide of the evening they all gave up.
Ola was sad. Bisi wept for her husband. She wept
on the beach till nightfall. They were poor. They
had no farmland and much worse their canoe
mishapped.
As days passed they gave up hopes of seeing
Segun again. Ola never relented in consoling her
mother. He was now the man of the family. The
responsibility of taking care of his mother is left
to him alone.
Bisi and Ola had one goat in their goat stand. Bisi
intended to sell the goat and begin a business.
This goat is thin and will worth four pounds she
thought. The next day, Ola tied the goat and took
her to the market. Nobody wished to buy the
goat. It wasn't healthy enough for an occassion
and goat herders thought it may die a day after.
On his way back from the market. A wealthy
merchant found interest in the goat.
"but you will have it exchanged for a very big pot"
he said to Ola.
