The Foolish Children
....................................
One day a wiseman decided to move from one village to another in hope of getting children whose parents find disturbing them to train them. A couple who find their three adopted children from a fetish priest to be foolish and disturbing presented their three children there. The wiseman decided to test them.
For the first child, the wiseman washed some clothes, hanged them on dry line and asked him to remove the clothes from the dry line in case its about to rain. He agreed.
In the afternoon, it became cloudy and showed signs that it was about to rain.
The child did nothing and waited till the rain started. As soon it did, he took a cutlass and took a 10 minutes walk to a nearby plantain garden. He cut some plantain leaves and placed it on his head and walked back through the rains to where the clothes have been hanged. He then removed the clothes already soaked by the rains. The wiseman said, he has passed the test because at least he knows how to cover his head when it begins to rain.
For the second child, he gave him some clothes to go and wash in a nearby river. He then gave him Gari(a dry food prepared from cassava) and sugar that when he feels hungry he should eat it. The child went and did the washing till he felt hungry.
He then pour the Gari into one end of the flowing river, moved a few steps and pour the sugar into that side of the river and run towards where the river flows to. He put his mouth into the flowing river with the aim that the Gari and sugar will mix for him to drink from the river.
The wiseman said, he has passed the test because he knows that he should feed himself when he is hungry.
For the last child, he gave him a long wood with sickle tied around it and asked him to go and pluck him some oranges. The child went and started to pluck some oranges with it. As he tried, the sickle unties from the wood and hook with the orange tree. He then climbed the tree and kissed an orange and said when I get down, I will pluck you!
He tied the hook again and tried but the same thing happened. He continued till the evening yet he couldn't pluck one orange. The wiseman said that he has passed the test since he knows how to climb tree.
The wiseman took them away.
Which of these children is the most foolish an of them all?
Have a wonderful weekend.
