The Fairly Old Woman (Episode 2)

in #story7 years ago (edited)

Ade replied I am not ready for any kind of job. I want a big job that will fetch me so much money. If you want any kind of job, you are free to go your own way.

With that little argument, the two brothers went their separate ways. As Ade was walking a narrow path alone, he meets an old woman with a large sack on her head coming towards him.

As Ade tried to make way for her to pass, the old woman said, my son, I know what you want, I will help you. Ade said, Old woman how can you help me?
She loosed her wrapper slightly and she pulled out two leather bags containing gold coins. One bag was bigger than the other.

The old woman asked him, which one do you want? without wasting time. Ade grabbed the bigger bag and opened it to be sure of its content. The woman said ''my son help me with this load''.

As the old woman was making effort to bring down the sack, Ade snatched the smaller bag and left the old woman in a haste to an unknown destination. The old woman shook her head and continued her journey along the narrow path.

thank you very much.

That was very bad of Ade, that attitude describes wickedness and greed.
