One day, Emeka came home from school to see one of their
cocks dead in front of the house. Seeing the cock flat on its back with its
legs in the air, he couldn’t hold back the tears. When his father came home, he
ran to him and said, "Dad, one of our cocks is dead and his legs are
sticking in the air. Why are his legs like that?" His father, thinking
quickly, said, "Son, that's so God can reach down from the clouds and lift
the cock straight up to heaven." Pleased with the explanation, Emeka said,
"That's great."
A few days later, when his father came home from work, Emeka
excitedly rushed out to meet him yelling, "Dad, Dad, we almost lost my
Mummy today." His father asked, "What are you talking
about?" Emeka still excited, said,
"Well Dad, I got home from school early today and went up to your bedroom
and there was my Mummy, flat on her back with her legs in the air, screaming,
'Jesus, I'm coming! I'm coming!' If it hadn't been for Oga Tunde pinning her
down, we'd have lost my Mummy for sure"
