Chapter 1

             The sun is bright and the day dawned crisp and clear, The sunlight is warm and not harsh, The Birds keep chirping.
Breeze is cool.
             The leaves of the plants are covered from dew drops.
The level of noise pollution of the village children in the morning is less compared to the other times of the day.
              At this time, the rooster keeps crowing as if no one heard his voice. The cockcrow was all over the village...
               She came out of the hut, yawned with squeezed eyes, stretched her body and cleared her eyes, and looked up only to see the white, fluffy clouds glide across the pale blue sky; the fading, subdue moon sits reluctantly behind them.
The sun has awakened and is promptly emerging through the hazy sky, the cloudy layer creates a pleasant blanket from the calm sun.
               She walked towards the cylinderical water tank and fetched some water to wash her face and she used plantain plant and charcoal; grinded it and used it to clean her teeth which makes it look whiter, stronger and brighter everyday.
She returned to the hut after cleaning her teeth. “Mama.....Mama” she called
  “yess my daughter” she answered.
“how are you today.Yesterday, you complained about a waist and back pain and I hope you are okay now” she asked.
“ahh yes my daughter but I'll still try walking to see if I can still feel such pain” grandma said with a slight smile.......
“okaaay..... So what plans do we have for the day” she asked curiously.
“As for today, we have a lot of works to do and since I can't help you must do all”
Grandma said positioning herself well on the bed.
“Hey grandma, always remember I'm here for you so don't worry about anything after all I'm not a lazy grandchild. I'll make sure all the work is done before evening” she announce confidently.
Her grandmother smiled gently and said: “ I know right... Okay so from here, go to the farm and get some firewood, plantain, cassava and some other food stuffs in the farm which means you will go to the farm like twice..Mhm?. Then after that you will go to the Sea to fetch some water which will be used for washing dirty things, bathing and for other purposes.
Then, you'll cook and wash the utensils.
Then finally, you will go and take your bath. So that's all.
Then in the evening, there will be a story night for all the village children”
“oh wow grandma, don't worry at all, I'll make sure everything is done before night begins to show up” She said impudently.              
              She stood up with a heavy smile on her face and walked towards the cloth used on the entrance as a door, took off the ply wood and got out bending slowly and emerges through the entrance finally.
