THE OLD WOMAN'S STRATEGY

The kind-hearted
There lived an old woman in her late 90's who had her hut in the evil forest all alone. The good thing about this particular woman is that she is not evil rather kind hearted 💓 to help the good.

A day came in the village of ukpolo where a boy name uzoma had a sick mother who needed urgent care and help, she has been in that condition for six days until she spoke to her son to embark in the forest and get a herbal medicine "OSIMMIRI".

Uzoma journeyed his way to the forest immediately at the early hours I the morning. He first met a two-headed monster and greeted,

"He was the way he was because of his up bring, uzoma shewed obedience, kindness, care etc. to people".

As he went further he him met the old woman but unknowingly to him she was the herbalist of the forest. It Happened to be that the old woman had some luggages which Uzo helped her out with till they reached the hut.

She stood close to her hut and told uzoma that she can tell and solve his problem. She went inside brought out Calabash and opened it, behold was two oranges (big and small size). The woman asked him to choose one orange furbut will definitely cure his mother. Wise enough he chose the small orange, thank the old woman and went back home safetly, he gave the drug to his mummy and she got well again.

The cruel
Meanwhile,on the other hand a rude, cruel and heartless boy had a sick mom too , he came to the forest and harrased every creature he came across he met the old woman and gave her a disgusting look but she ignored and offered to help him out.

She revealed his mother's situation, she brought out a Calabash containing two bunches of grapes (a small fresh grape and a rotten big grape) he foolishly choose the second fruit and went away, destruction overshadowed him on his way back and on reaching home his mummy gave up the ghost.
