mubangachipalo: HORROR: THE OLD WOMAN WHO GAVE BIRTH TO A DOG, When Mr. and Mrs Bwalya they stayed a long time without having a child. So Mrs. Bwalya complained a lot blaming herself as the causer of not having children, as a result she lived a stressed life and wouldn't go wherever the women gathered telling all sorts of stories because she thought the women had gathered in order to talk about her barrenness. One day as she was in the house she thought of committing suicide rather than starving on earth. So she got a rope made of sisal and started going into the bush to hang herself on a tree. But fortunately she met her husband coming from hunting wild animals, so he stopped her and confiscated the rope and returned with his wife back home while saying, ?What are you trying to do with your life? Are you the only person who has no child? Give God time and he will give you the fruit of the womb. Learn to wait upon God?s time you will be surprised to have a child even in old age. Look how I have loved you In fact my stand is that whether you won?t have children I won?t divorce you until death.? After those words three months later Mrs. Bwalya got pregnant at the age of seventy years and got excited. Whenever women gathered at a certain place charting Mrs. Bwalya used to joined them in order to show them that she was pregnant. The women in her village got amazed too because they were not expecting Mrs. Bwalya to get pregnant at old age. So they started grumbling among themselves saying, ?Is this lady surely going to have a normal child? If so how? Definitely we must make to be around at the time she will give birth so that she doesn't tell us fake stories.? After nine months it was for Mrs. Bwalya to give birth, Unfortunately she gave birth to a dog, a pure dog. Then the women started leaving the house silently puzzled holding their hands in their necks. Some brave women who had remained behind asked, ?Can we get the dog and throw it away?? ?No don?t throw away my child after all its jealous people who have played tricks on my pregnancy. Therefore I will simply keep it just like any other normal child.? Mrs. Bwalya replied confidently. But the women in the house said, ?Are you not aware that by keeping such a creature you may bring bad-luck in the family and the village as a whole?? ?Women please don?t refer my child to a creature when you saw him coming out of my pregnancy. By the way which bad-luck are you talking about? I am more than ready to face the bad-luck you are talking about. So the old woman looked after the dog very well caring for it just like any other normal child. She named her child Deliberate because she thought that some people had played magic on her pregnant so that she could give birth to a dog. After two years she got pregnant again this time she gave birth to a normal baby boy whom she named helper, meaning this child will be of great help to her in her old age. So Deliberate grew up into a huge dog and Helper grew up to be a handsome young man. Now one day Helper said to her mother, ?Mother, I want to marry a young lady so that she could be helping you with housework, please help me by choosing a young lady who will excite you when she becomes my wife.? ?Look Helper, I am getting old now and would not like to involve myself in your marriages therefore go to your elder brother he will help you find a nice young lady to marry.? So Helper the young man went to the dog and said, ?Deliberate, I want to marry, all my age-mates in this village have married I am the only one left.? ?No, you are not yet ready for marriage wait for a while.? Deliberate said. But Helper the young man said, ?Deliberate, I am a grown up person I don?t want to be staying alone, I really need someone to be helping me with all kinds of house work.? However Deliberate simply looked at helper and put his head on the ground without saying anything. Then Helper the young man said to his mother, ?Mother the dog you referred me to help me find a young lady to marry has refused saying I am not yet ready to marry.? But his mother said angrily, ?Don?t refer to your brother as a dog, this should be the last time to hear you say such words. Are you not aware that Deliberate was my first child? It?s a pity jealous people used some Juju in order to change him into a dog while he was in my womb.? Then after six months helper the young man said, ?Deliberate, I have seen a young beautiful lady I want to marry, can I go ahead?? ?This time, I accept you can marry but not in this village, let us go to other villages and find a young beautiful lady whom you can marry.? Then Helper the young man asked, ?What sort of food can we carry on our journey?? ?Just get one Goats we will kill it when we feel hungry, we will roast it on the fire and eat it.? Replied Deliberate. So the next day Helper and Deliberate said farewell to their mother and went to other villages, after walking for two days Helper the young man got thirsty and said, ?Deliberate, Iam feeling thirsty, now where can I find water to drink?? ?I think you better kill the goat and drink its blood, we will ask for fresh water when we reach the next village.? So helper the young man did exactly what Deliberate his elder brother told him to do by drinking the blood of a Goat. After walking for a long distance they came across the well outside the village with an old woman and a young lady were talking to each other. Helper the young man got excited and asked for a cup of water to drink. Miriam the young lady who was 17 years old gave Helper the young man water to drink. But after drinking the water Helper the young man started vomiting blood of a goat. Then Deliberate asked, ?Madam, what have you given to my young brother? Is it really water?? But the young lady started crying bitterly saying, ?I simply gave him water, anyway I don?t know what has gone wrong in his body. Why can I give him poison when Iam also waiting to be sacrificed to the great bird which has been killing us. Even my grandmother standing here is my witness she is saying the words of farewell to me before I die at the ten beaks of the great bird.? Then Helper the young man asked, ?What did you say young lady?? Then the old woman interrupted saying, ?What she is saying is true, There?s a large bird which has been coming into our village killing people at random. Now in order to lessen the large number of villagers which the great bird used to kill our chief has entered into an agreement in which we sacrifice a human being every two weeks for it to eat, so today it?s the turn of my grand-daughter to be sacrificed to the bird. As I am talking to you it?s on its way to come and kill Miriam.? Once the old woman had stopped speaking she heard the heavy sound of a great bird flying in the air. So the old woman went away as fast as she could. Within the shortest period of time the Largest bird appeared in the sky with ten red beaks, the Bird got excited when it saw Helper the young man with Miriam looking at each other on the well. So the great bird thought to itself, ?Today I have been given two people for food, what a great day.? Then as the great bird started coming down near the ground Helper the young man threw spears at the bird but the bird was able to dodge them then Helper called deliberate saying, ?Oh deliberate, today is the end of my life. Look at this bird with ten heads, I can?t kill it at all.? Then Deliberate went to the rescue of his young brother where he jumped in the air and started fighting with the large bird. After fighting for thirty minutes Deliberate managed to cut off seven heads, both Deliberate and great bird got tired and rested a bit. However within ten minutes Deliberate attacked the great bird cutting off all the remaining three heads. When Miriam saw that the bird was dead she went to the village running in order to report what had happened at the well. So when she reached the village she started shouting on top of her voice, ?The great bird has been killed, the great bird has been killed. People of this village come out of your houses and see the dead body of the great bird lying on the ground. From now on no more sacrifices to offer.? So the men and women left their houses and went to the well where they found the great bird on the ground with Helper the young man and his brother Deliberate sitting under the shade of a big tree which was there. The villagers got excited they started beating drums and singing all sorts of songs. Then after talking to Helper the young man they learned that helper had gone there in order to look for a beautiful lady to marry. So in order to thank him for what he had done with his dog they brought all the young ladies so that he can choose for himself the one he admired, now after looking at all the beautiful ladies Helper the young man got confused not knowing the lady he should choose for a wife. So he went to Deliberate and said, ?Deliberate, which young lady can I choose? I have tried to look at the young ladies on the queue and they are all beautiful.? ?Go and choose the young lady we rescued at the well, if you do that she will give you respect more than the other ladies on the queue.? Deliberate said. So helper the young man chose Miriam as his bride, within few days the chief arranged a wonderful wedding for Helper the young man and Miriam his wife which attracted a lot of people from other villages. Now Deliberate started killing a lot of large animals which made villagers to start glorifying Helper as the owner of the dog. After six months Helper decided to go back with his wife to his home where he had come from but this idea did not please the chief and the villagers so they thought of killing Helper the young man and get the dog. So one day as the villagers went hunting with Helper the young man they saw six Buffaloes on the plain of the great Luangwa river. So Helper the young man sent his elder Brother Deliberate to follow the Buffaloes and kill them at once. Deliberate managed to kill all the Buffaloes but before he returned where he had left Helper and the villagers, the people plotted against Help the young man and killed him. When Deliberate reached the scene he found his brother dead so he got furious and killed all the men there and went back to his home where he had come from with his young brother. The End. |

mubangachipalo: MY CHILD?S LIFE IS ABOUT: NON FICTION My child?s life is about drinking all types of beers, smoking all types of cigarettes and beating up teachers he comes across. He developed this kind of life since he failed in grade seven at a certain primary school in my area where I live with him so he became disappointed to the extent of speaking openly about them saying, ?The teachers of nowadays don?t know how to teach. There?s no way I can fail an exam, In fact I don?t care even if I have failed after all I will be selling cigarettes and beer. For sure I will be earning a lot of money including Cannabis which will make me famous and great. In order for people to recognize me I must start selling at the local taverns.? So when I found out that his plans were not good I found a place for him in grade eight thinking he will do much better this time. But to my amazement at the end of the year in grade nine he failed again the exams terribly as a result he doesn't want to meet any teacher from any secondary school. He has vowed to kill ten secondary school teachers saying ?I must revenge myself on any secondary school teacher I come across on the road for dropping me when I sat for grade nine exams.? One day as he was walking along the road from shopping he met a career?s master and he said to him, ?Young man what are you doing here? Haven?t you heard that I have been looking for you because you dropped me in grade nine.? ?Are you crazy young man? Since when did I teach in your class. Just in case you don?t know me I am a career?s master teaching grade twelve pupils before they sat their exams.? Replied the career?s master. But my son said, ?Young man, respect yourself I am not crazy okay. Now I will judge you by the words you have used by punishing you.? ?What crime have I committed for punishing me?? asked the career?s master. However the Career?s master thought my son was joking. So my son went and handed the new clothes he had bought from the shops in the hands of the child who was going to the marketing to buy vegetables saying, ?Young boy hold this clothes for me and stand there on the edge of the road I will get them once I have finished my mission on this young man standing there.? Then he started beating up his former career?s master. My son threw four blows at the chest of the Career?s master then he felt the pain and started shouting saying, ?Good Samaritans please help me, I am been battered for no apparent reasons by this notorious young man.? However my son shouted on top of his voice saying, ?I will kill anyone who separates us. Today I have caught the man who used to teach me wrong subjects when I was at his secondary school.? When The Career?s Master saw that he was on the loosing battle he simply ran to the policemen who was walking some distant away while shouting on top of his voice, ?Please save me from the beatings of this crazy young man. I haven?t done anything wrong to be beaten like this, I think one day I must see his parents and tell them to be disciplining their son.? However my son ran after his career?s master while shouting on top of his voice, ?Catch the thief, catch the thief, come on thief where are you running to? Bring the money you stole from me.? Then the policeman stopped both of them saying, ?What?s the problem young man? Stop chasing him an old person, you must have respect for older person so that you can live a blessed life.? ?Today I want to avenge myself on 5this career?s master because when I was at his school he used to mistreat me.? ?Stop lying, In which way did I used to mistreat you young man?? But my son said, ?Mr. policeman, please leave this young man so that I can deal with him severely.? However the career?s master said, ?The young man is lying because my job is teaching the different careers the pupils should know how to choose the different subjects to help them find a careers suitable for their jobs according to their abilities once they have left school, but what I know about this young man is that he involved himself on bad groups who used to be drinking and smoking, at the the end of the year he failed to go to grade ten.? After the policeman had listened to both sides of the story he sent away my son warning him not to repeat what he was doing However as my son was returning to the place where he had left the boy looking after his clothes he came across the female teacher who used to teach him at his former primary school and greeted her saying, ?How are you my sweet-heart?? ?Stop smoking dagger Joseph, you are as good as my own son.? Then my son got angry saying, ?Listen here Angela, I will punish you for the insults you have used, you can?t be my mother do you understand?? As Angela the female teacher opened her mouth to say something my son slapped her on the face, the female teacher saw the stars and fell to the ground and started shouting for help, ?Oh good Samaritans please save me from the criminal I used to teach at school. Because of bad behavior he stopped school in grade seven.? But my son refused saying, ?Sweetheart stopped lying, I went as far as grade twelve, now since you seems to be telling lies to the people let me finish you off.? Then the people who had seen what happened ran and helped the female teacher and whisked her to the police station. After sometime the policemen released the female teacher and went home safely. |

mubangachipalo: GOD SPEAKS THROUGH THE PEOPLE MY SON: NON FICTION Robert Mwamba was born in a street of Lusaka from parents who were both street kids. They used to be roaming the streets of Lusaka as they had no place to call home. When Robert Mwamba became six years old he started reasoning as he admire the other children who were coming in town with their parents holding their hands while some children were coming in vehicles driven by their parents as they went shopping in Indian shops. As a result he used to be grumbling a lot in his heart saying, ?Why was I born in the street of Lusaka? As if i am a nobody? Who can give me answers to the questions I have in my heart? Is there a time I am going to leave the streets?? So one day Robert Mwamba decided to ask the elder street kid saying ?Chishimba, I want to know why I was born in the street? Since you are older than me perhaps you know something.? ?Don?t worry young boy very soon you be used to live here.? Christopher Chishimba replied jokingly. ?No, I won?t get used to this kind of life sir.? Replied the young boy sadly. Then Christopher Chishimba said while sh asking his head, ?Whether you like or not you were born and you will die in the streets of Lusaka therefore just adapt to the way of living in these streets of Lusaka.? Then Robert Mwamba nodding his head said, ?I often ask myself why I was born to parents who were both living in the streets of Lusaka. Does it mean I am different from the other kids who come with their parents shopping in town?? But the older street kids would say ?Mwamba you are not different from other kids you are seeing in town except that you were born to people who were not supposed to have children because They never planed for you. ?Oh dear, that is horrible. Do you mean my parents never planned for you? Please tell me more about this issue.? The young man said. Then Christopher Chishimba said while looking at the boy with one eye, ?My boy what I am telling you true and the whole truth because even when they knew that they were not capable of looking after you they kept on sending application for you to be born in the street, which is irresponsible.? ?But who used to get those applications and send me into the streets without being merciful to me?? The young boy asked. Christopher Chishimba replied saying without hesitating, ?Its God who sends human beings on earth.? Then Robert asked, ?Am I going to live in the street for the rest of my life?? ?Yes you will live like this for the rest of your life unless God performs a miracle of change in your life, if not then forget my boy you will not change your status.? Christopher Chishimba said. ?Okay then please show me where God lives so that he can perform a miracle which you have talked about perhaps my life will change for the better.? Then before Christopher Chishimba replied to the question, the street kids saw the vehicle carrying expired food from different shops taking them to be thrown at the damp-site which was nearby. So, all the street kids ran to the damp-site as fast as they could, as they reached there they started picking up expired foods whatever they could come across. Some managed to get bread, tin fish, tin meat, caned drinks, cooked chicken, fish, biscuits, sweets eggs and so forth. As they were eating one kid saw the father of Robert Mwamba and told him of what his son was saying, ?John, Have you heard what your son was saying?? Kalimba the street kid asked. ?No, I haven?t heard anything. What did he say?? John Mwamba asked anxiously. ?When you were away your child wanted to know why he was born from both parents who are street kids and where to find God who could perform wonders in his life so that he can leave the streets of Lusaka.? Said Alex Kalimba. John thought for a while and looked at his son asked, ?Oh my son, do you want to leave the street? It?s a pity I forgot to tell you that this world you are seeing is good and sometimes cruel to the people. Therefore I can?t give you a satisfactory answer but what you should know is that I was born to a father who was a criminal and my mother was a prostitute who spent most of her time in bars and taverns. Coming to the father of your mother, she was born from a man who was a prisoner who stayed in jail for thirty years for selling Cannabis while her mother was a woman selling in the streets of Lusaka, one day as she was selling bananas on the roadside the vehicle from nowhere left the road and ran over her that was the beginning of your mother to be a street girl. When I met your mother in the street it was just mere friendship and by God?s grace you were born in the streets of Lusaka.? John Mwamba said. ?Oh dad, that is a sad story but why haven?t you shown me my mother?? His father said, ?My son, living in the street is not an easy thing, since it was not a proper marriage I don?t know where she went she only vanished from the streets of Lusaka but what I remember is that when you became three years old she left you with me here and that is how you found yourself in the streets.? ?Okay dad, show me where to find God who can perform miracles in my life. I have been told that there?s a God who performs Miracles in people?s lives therefore I would like to speak to him too concerning my situation.? Robert Mwamba said with tears in his eyes. Then his father looked straight in the eyes of his son and said, ?Anyway since you are insisting to see God then let us go over that side so that I can show you the place where to find God.? So the young boy felt very excited as he moved with his father from one street to the other until at last they left all the buildings and streets of Lusaka. His father led him to a place which Robert Mwamba had not seen before in his life, upon reaching the Catholic church John Mwamba told his young boy to wait at the entrance for a while as he went to call God on the other side of the church so that he could speak to him directly. As Robert Mwamba waited patiently his father went back in a hurry to the streets where he had left his friends and told them that he had left his son to one of his relative who will be looking after him. After waiting for a long time the young boy felt very sad and started grumbling and asking questions in his heart, ?Why has my father taken so long? Has he found God? What will I do If God is not there? I hope my father is on his way coming with God.? Now when the Catholic priest saw him he asked, ?Young boy what are you doing here?? ?I came here with my father who has come to call God so that I can speak to him.? Robert Mwamba replied sadly. ?You want to speak to God about what?? The Catholic priest asked. ?I want to ask God why I was born to street parents who never planned for me.? ?Have you spoken to God already?? The Catholic priest asked. ?No I haven?t, dad has never called God yet. I don?t know why he has taken so long.? The young boy replied. Then the Catholic priest asked, ?By the way what is your name?? ?My name is Robert Mwamba the son of a street kid. Now what is your name sir?? ?I am father Joseph Filamba, now tell me young boy have you eaten anything since morning?? The Catholic priest asked. ?Oh yes, I ate two pieces of bread which I picked from the damp-site.? The young boy replied sadly. Then the Catholic priest realised that his father had tricked his son, so he asked the boy, ?Since your father is nowhere to be seen would you like to stay with me as I try to find God for you?? ? Oh yes sir, after all I don?t know whether my father will come very soon. In fact I am feeling hungry.? The boy said. Then the Catholic priest took the young boy to his house, took him in the bathroom where he washed him gave him secondhand clothes to wear, then he gave him food and in the evening he gave him a single mattress where he slept soundly, when the young boy woke up the next morning he felt happy thinking in his hear tm, ?For sure this man knows where God lives, i am so glad my father brought me here. I won?t leave this wonderful place, by the way why can?t this man become my guardian? I would be pleased to be living with him after all he is alone.? The next morning the young boy washed his face, ate breakfast and went to church with a catholic priest, after the church service the Catholic priest said, ?Young boy I have got wonderful news for you. Can I tell you what God told me?? ?Oh yes, please tell me I am waiting to hear the good news.? The young boy said smiling. The Catholic Priest said, ?God has told me to take you to the orphanage centre where you will be living with your friends happily.? ?Hmm, Orphanage centre! I am sorry I don?t want to go to the orphanage centre or elsewhere but would like to be living with you until God speaks to me.? The young boy said while shaking his head. The Catholic priest got amazed and asked, ?Why don?t you want to go to the orphanage centre? Please young boy listen to me you are going to the orphanage centre for the goodness of your own sake----.? ?For my own sake! By the way Sir, why didn't you tell God that I was waiting for him?? the boy asked. The Catholic priest replied saying, ?To start with since you were sound asleep I was afraid to disturb you, secondly I told God that you were waiting for him but he told me that He was very busy that?s why he left the message that you must go to the orphanage centre first before He talks to you. He added by saying He doesn't likes to talk to children who are uneducated. So, God refused to talk to your father because he never went to school.? ?Oh dear! Will God surely refuse to speak to me? If that?s the case then let me think about that for a while.? The boy replied with a gloomy face. However the Catholic priest said excitedly, ?Young boy don?t be worried, once you go to the orphanage centre your life will change greatly because when you go there you start school and be educated, and I will be coming to see you from time to time. Let me tell you the true from now own you will no longer be a street child, by going to school you will become just like any other person with a decent home.? ?Does the school has the magic to transform my life from where i am now so that I can speak to God?? The Boy asked. The Catholic priest replied excitedly ?Oh yes, in fact when you go to the orphanage centre you will be eating and sleeping well.? ?Okay then please take me to the orphanage centre so that I can start school right now perhaps God will speak to me but remember to be coming and see me with a lot of toys to play with.? The young boy replied with a smile. ?That is a wonderful decision my boy you have come up with, you know God speaks through the People.? The Catholic priest took Robert Mwamba to Tikambilane orphanage centre where he stayed for a year and started school the following year where he did very well, he became intelligent surpassing all his friends in class. One day in grade seven the Catholic sister started a debate about street kids so she said, ?Boys and girls today we have a wonderful topic in which we must talk about the origin of street kids with its disadvantages, Therefore my first question is What are the disadvantages and advantages of living in streets? Let us take part in this important lesson. Yes Catherine Mukumba can you tell the class the origin of street kids?? ?In my own view the children have decided to be there so that they could be asking for money from the people without anyone stopping them, in other words love for money is the origin for street kids.? The Catholic sister smiled and said, ?Is that really the origin of street kids? Is there any other person with a different answer or point?? Then Matilda Chileya rose up and said, ?The children of nowadays seem to know about their rights as a result they have decided to abuse their rights by leaving their poor homes in order to live in streets, so the origin of street kids has come up because the government is not willing to discipline the young ones whenever they go into the streets.? ?That is a wonderful contribution, now I want to hear from you boys before I mention factors which has led to this vise. Yes Victor bowa can you say something about the origin of street kids?? Then Victor Bowa said, ?I think human rights is the origin of street children.? ?Thank you for your contribution, what about you Robert Mwamba can you say something on the origin of street kids?? The Catholic sister asked. Robert Mwamba rose up and said, ?The major origin of street kids is poverty and lack of education among many parents in different societies.? Then the Catholic sister said, ?Thank you Robert for that point, now listen boys and girls the other major factors which has led to the origin of street kids is as as follows: the break of extended families, lack of jobs among men and women,, drinking too much beer, the abuse of drugs, smoking of Cannabis, retrenchments, redundancies and pruning of workers at places of work, illnesses, lack of education, crime, prostitution among girls and women, pear pressure among young girls, laziness, stopping schools unnecessarily, involvement in early sex, early marriages, lack of family planning in our people and many other vises you can name them. When you come of age boys and girls stop experimenting on sex because you are not prepared to look after children who come to this world in this way as a result of pear pressure and lust for the flesh. Therefore I am advising you boys and girls to be educated first then once you qualify for certain jobs you will be employed and afterwards you will get married. Once you get married make sure you start planning to have few number of children you will afford to look after. In your homes make sure you provide your children with the following basic things such as private schools, decent meals and proper place where to sleep. Now in this country many parents who have the low income are able to have fifteen children and many of those children end up in street where they live miserable lives. Coming to other men, they marry four women or even more, now how does such a parent manage to look after children coming from those marriages? Please Boys and girls remember God speaks through the people the way I am doing it here, don?t make mistakes by bringing children you cannot provide for because its sin to God.? Then Matilda asked, ?Sister, What is the effect on a family of fifteen children with one mother?? ?The effect you see immediately is that those children won?t have enough food to eat, most of them will fighting for food, they will lack education because parents fail to they for school fees, lack of funds to buy school uniforms besides that they won?t have enough blankets to cover themselves during the night. Boys and please avoid pear pressure don?t follow your friends who are bent on misleading you because there are coming from families with wrong background, remember bad characters corrupts good morals, what normally happens is that just because your friend made a mistake you also want to do the same that is wrong therefore you should your level best to restrain yourself from bad vices. You must go to church everyday and study the bible which shows the dos and don?ts. the topic I have touched on today is a very complicated one because it has a lot of points which needs to be explained in so many weeks therefore we will be looking at each major factor I have mentioned every week meanwhile you can go out for lunch.? Then as they were coming out Robert Mwamba said, ?Wait for me sweet Matilda.? Then the Catholic sister said, ?Boys and girls please back.? As the boys and girls come in class the Catholic sister said, ?Robert Mwamba, what did you say to Matilda? Listen now I don?t want to hear such words from your mouth because that is infatuation which has contributed to street children. Wait until you grow up get educated and that is when you will decide to marry.? ?Sorry sister for what I said I promise not to repeat the mistake, in fact I never meant what I said.? Robert Mwamba said. 3000 words. |

mubangachipalo: WHAT IF? What if I won sixty thousand dollars, I would be the happiest blind person in the country because I can invest my dollars by purchasing Braille papers and Braille books from developed countries sell them to the ministry of education so that this ministry can distribute them to all blind schools from primary and secondary schools up to college level. The money I realized from this business would be used in purchasing libraries books for use in all the blind schools and colleges. Then the money from libraries would be used in purchasing computers from the land of opportunities and sell them to the ministry of education so that blind pupils in primary schools could start using them. The profits would be spent to purchase other computers for use in secondary schools with special units for blind pupils. The profits released from the sale would be used to purchase computers for use in special colleges where blind students rely on sighted help when writing and reading notes. The profits realized from this business would be used to build a training centre to accommodate all the pupils coming from secondary schools by teaching them how to use various computers before they become job seekers. The money realized from this college could be used to come up with Braille printers and promote the printing of Braille books for sale to blind schools in primary, secondary schools including colleges. The other amount of money could be used in transcribing ink-print books into Braille to sale to the blind for reading in their spare time. The money realized from my business would be used to be purchasing Cellphones which are user friendly from the US and sell them to the ministry of education so that they can in turn sell them to blind teachers in various schools through out the country. The money realized from the sell of cellphones would be used in purchasing white-canes and GPS for use in blind schools through out the country. The money realized from this business would be used to purchase Gadgets from the developed world for sell to the ministry of Community development so that they distribute them to all the blind people in the country. However the money realized from this business would be used for purchasing soft wares from developed countries and sell them cheaply to all blind people using computers in various places through out the country. Then the money from this business would be channeled to buy sport attires of different types and sell them to the ministry of Youth and sports for distribution to all the blind schools including colleges with special units. The money I would realize from this business would be used to purchase hearing-aids for sell to the ministry of health so that this ministry could give them to the people in need freely, therefore If I had enough capital my first priority is to help the vulnerable in society indirectly so that they can lead a normal life. 500 words minimum. |

I was prompted to come into your office just in case you want to send me to buy something at our nearest filling station.? Replied the young man. Then the blind man on the switchboard while smiling replied saying, ?Anyway that is a good idea, but wait for a moment so that I can remember where I have put the money for buying Coca-cola.? replied. ?How many years have you been on this job sir?? asked the young man. ?I have been doing this job for twenty years now, how about you my friend tell me how many years have you been watering flowers?? asked the blind man. ? This is my fifth year.? The young man answered as he looked at the blind man. ?Fifth year! Have you been confirmed?? the blind man asked. ?No, I have not been confirmed yet in spite working for so many years.? The young man replied sadly. The blind man asked, ?Have you asked your supervisor why they haven?t confirmed you?? ?I have lost interest in asking them why they can?t confirm me, I simply want capital so that I go back to the land after all my parents have got a very large farm and they are not using it since they have become old. I can utilize that land by growing a lot of vegetables, maize, groundnuts if only I had enough finances for use. My only worry is that I get very little amount of money every year so I don?t know how to raise enough capital to implement my plans fully.? The young man said in a soft voice. ?If you are serious with what you are telling me then follow my plan and you will manage to raise capital for your farm easily.? The blind man said. ?Please tell me your wonderful plan I am listening.? The young man said. Then The blind man said, ?On Monday come with an empty tin of paint with black soil in it and leave it in my office, then on Tuesday come with beans plant it in the black soil and watering it. On Thursday we will be commemorating world?s aids?s day, that is when you carry your wonderful parcel to your home.? The blind man said. ?Please continue with your wonderful plan I want to here the end result.? The young man said. Then the blind man continued saying, ?On that actual day you will wrap a paper around the tin of paint with words written paint on it, then you will carry that tin of paint to the gate when the security guards see you they will think that you have stolen paint from this company, so when you go towards the gate pretend to be a thief for sure they will follow you behind and grab the tin of paint from your hands while accusing you. So stand your ground by telling them that you are not a thief at that time a lot of employees will gather to see what you have stolen. Then in presence of your fellow employees tell the security guard to open the tin of paint and show it to the people around, now after seeing beans in a tin paint that will be your chance of accusing them of defaming your character and threaten them with court action. At the time you will be accusing them of wrong doing come up with a reasonable amount of money worth enough to raise the capital needed at the farm. Make sure you do that in presence of many people especially if there will be Managers.? The young man followed the advice of that Telephone operator and carried the tin of paint to the gate in presence of many workers who were going in and coming out. Fortunately on that day the General Manager for Kamwala Security Guards a subcontracted company happened to be at the gate. Therefore when the Security guard started harassing the young man felt very happy, but things turned sour when after opening the tin of paint they discovered beans which had germinated. Then the young man pretended to be very furious and said, ?Security Guard, are you aware that what you have done to me is deformation of character? I will sue your company so that they should give me two hundred thousand kwacha.? When The General Manager of Kamwala Security Guards heard the young man screaming at his security guards he intervened by asking the young man to go with him at the filling station so that he can buy him a bottle of Coca-cola. But the young man with his eyes out refused saying, ?Please sir, live me alone I want the security guard to give me all the details how to approach the company.? Then the General Manager Morris Andrews said to him while pleading with him saying, ?Just come with me at the filling station and will give you all the details you want.?So the young man went with Morris Andrews the general Manager to the filling station where he said, ?Young man please don?t go to court let?s solve this problem amicably, I am ready to give you one hundred and ten thousand kwacha. Remember that Security Guard you are harassing is not the owner of the company and the sum of money you have come up with is just too high.? But the young man said, ?Then before I comment on your suggestion I would like to know the details of your company.? Now for fear of going to the court of law Morris Andrews the General Manager said, ?I am ready to give you all the details of my security company once we reach an agreement concerning the payment. But you should reduce the sum of money you have proposed is just too high.? Then the young man shaking his head said, ?Okay then I will get the money you have offered me, besides that let?s hope your Security Guard will apologize to me for the embarrassment he has done to me.? However the General Manager said, ?On behalf of my security guard my escapology to you my friend he will not repeat the mistake believe me.? Then the General Manager wrote a check of 110,000 kwacha and gave to the young man saying, ?Here?s your check you can deposit it in your bank account and get your money after three days.? Then they Young man said, ?Sir, thank you for solving this issue as soon as possible because if you had not intervened I would have taken your company to the courts of law.? The General Manager with a smile said, ?Look how I have solved your problem amicably, if you had gone to court the case would have taken a long time to come to an end.? Then the young man went and deposited the check in the nearest bank account. After that the young man went to the office of the telephone operator and find the blind man on the switchboard and said, ?You are a great man I have never come across, your idea has performed wonders in my life. Great man I followed your idea and as I am talking to you I have just deposited one hundred and ten thousand kwacha in my bank account. It is the sum of money I have never dreamed about in my life, I have got the pension at the age of twenty two years what a lovely day! Now how much can I give you for the wonderful idea?? ?Don?t worry young man just buy me a bottle of soft drink and sit down plan how to spend your money you have acquired intelligently. I hope you won?t forget about your farm which has remained idle without anyone ploughing it.? The blind man said. ?Sir, since I have found the money I have been looking for can I resign immediately?? the young man asked as he fixed his eyes on the Switchboard the blind man was operating. But the blind man replied saying, ?No, you don?t resign like that wait until your contract comes to an end that is when you can go to your farm with your plans.? With excitement the young man sent his friend Justin to buy two bottles of soft drinks at the nearest filling station. His friend Justin went very fast and brought the two bottles of soft drinks, but when the young man was about to give one bottle of soft drinks to the blind man he saw things floating in the bottle and said, ?Oh dear, I can see things floating in a bottle of soft drinks I want to give you, so let me go to the filling station and exchange this bottle.? ?Young man please bring the bottle to me so that I can make money out of it which I have never seen before.? ?Making money out of impurities found in the bottle, how?? the young man asked. The blind man replied saying, ?Oh yes, when you take that bottle to the company producing Tarino drinks I will get money once they discover their mistake or else I will sue them.? The blind man said while smiling. So the young man started laughing as he gave the bottle of Tarino soft drink with foreign elements in it to the blind man and went to the filling station where he bought another bottle of soft drink and gave it to his newly found friend on the switchboard. So next day the blind man went with his guide to the factory where Zambian Tarino soft drink were produced. On the reception a young beautiful lady asked them, ?Can I help you sir?? ?I came to see the production Manager.? Replied the blind man. The Receptionist asked, ?Is he expecting you? If not what?s the problem?? ?Yesterday one of my child brought a Tarino drink with foreign elements floating in it, that?s why I want to see him.? Said the blind him. Now as the blind man was speaking loudly the General Manager happened to be passing at the reception and heard the conversation. So he went to the blind man and said, ?Old man can I see the bottle please?? Then the general Manager Mr. Brown Richards took the Tarino bottle to the lab and found that the bottle had Cockroaches, paraffin and bread rotten in it. Then Brown Richards went into his office silently and wrote a check worth two hundred thousand kwacha, he went to the reception and gave the blind man saying, ?Forget what happened yesterday, You can get this check worth two hundred thousand kwacha and deposit it in your bank account it?s true the bottle contained foreign elements in it.? ?Thank you sir, I never thought you would take a short time to solve my issue.? The blind man said. So the blind man went home smiling until when he reached the bank and deposited the check in his bank account. 2000 words Recommended |
