Hello everyone, welcome to my blog once again and I hope you are all doing good today.
There was a thing some people use experience for and that is cheating, they will cheat whoever is not experience in some aspects of life and that is a story about my cousins and I.
I went to my aunt's village for holiday back when I was still little, my aunty loves me same with her husband and they always gave me whatever I wanted and if there is one thing I like doing the most then it's reading a novel and my cousins have a lot of novels at home but they hardly read it.
But me, as a novel freak that I am then, I read almost all the novel before the holiday ended unknown to me that my cousins did not like the way I was reading because their father always scolded them when he met me reading a novel and met them playing.
One day when their daddy and mommy is not around, the eldest cousin came to me and told me to minimize the way I was reading a novel or maybe I should stop reading because it is not a good thing in their village, she said I should stop before the village witch mark me for reading too much.
I got scared when I heard witch and marking. I don't want to be mark by a witch but nevertheless I must read even if means I have to hide to do so. That evening, I was in the room reading as usual when a bird flew to the widow of the room that I was and started making some sound but it sounds like my name.
I didn't pay attention at first but when the bird did not go I looked up and that same time, it makes another sound and it sounded as if someone was calling me. I got goosebumps immediately and ran out of the room, I went to where my cousins were and told them what happened then she told me that I have provoke the witch with my reading and we need to make sacrifice to appease the witch.
And when I asked what the sacrifice is, she told me that I should not eat meat for seven days and I should be given her all my meat and I should stop reading. I was too scared to even think and if at all I want to think I don't know anything about their village traditions.
Four days after, my aunty called me and asked me why I wasn't reading all this while. She said she noticed that I always seat alone without doing anything and I told her that it's because I'm scared of witch. She looked at me and said "Witch, what about the witch". and I told her everything that happened from the beginning to the end and I told her that I'm currently serving the sacrifice to appease the witch.
My aunty burst into a fist of laughter that she almost fell from her chair. She told me it was all a lie that that is how the bird used to sound normally and her daughter wants me to stop reading so that her father will stop scolding them for playing too much, I couldn't believe my ears. I was deceived and cheated on.
But I gave them their own taste of medicine when they came to the city for festival as a pay back because I don't like owing people.
Thanks for checking on my blog and have a wonderful day
