Love on a limited budget

 


This morning, I went to a pharmacy to buy drugs for my mom. I saw two guys, and one was buying drugs for his girlfriend. 

He complained that his girlfriend doesn't like eating, which causes her ulcer, so he needs drugs for that. The prices of each medicine were much higher than his expectations. He suggested that he would buy paracetamol for his girlfriend, which earned him laughter from us. The pharmacist asked him whether paracetamol is what one takes when they have an ulcer. 

The man chose one drug that cost 18ghc, but was persuaded by the pharmacist to take one that cost 20ghc. With a long face, he went ahead, but only on the condition that the pharmacist would change the price of the medicine to 50ghc, thinking that he would show it to his girlfriend to make her aware of how much this one medicine cost him. Though the pharmacist refused, the man went ahead and did it himself. 

When exiting the pharmacy shop, he complained to his friend about being out of cash and that he was also very hungry. His friend retorted by smacking him on the head and calling him a 'fool', which earned even more laughter from us.

I CAN

  I CAN THE LITTLE CHILD WHO SAYS I CAN,                                                WILL CLIMB TO THE HILL TOP. THE LITTLE CHILD WHO SAYS I CAN'T,                                               WILL AT THE BOTTOM STOP. I CAN DOES GREAT THINGS EVERYDAY. SO BE SURE YOU SAY I CAN. AND LEAVE I CAN'T ALONE. The above short poem has only one purpose which is to encourage us to always say (I CAN). Never look down on yourself. You can do whatever you put your mind to. Life is just too short for us to delay our successes. Do not let anyone make you feel inferior or less important. Keep encouraging yourself and declare good things into your life.

LOST BUT FOUND

 DZOKOE FAFALI  BACS27145   That day was different. The scorching of the sun was out of say. Human beings cannot even lodge within their own compound. It was usual to see animals like lizard, birds, ants, mouse, hen , goats, sheep and all domestic animals around, but that day was different. You can barely hear the sound of anything. Viewing from afar is another problem. Wondering what the cause is , but no solution. It came to mind all of a sudden to fetch water from the river side. Not as usual as I used to do in the afternoons, but I have no idea why that afternoon. On my way, even the grasses along side wasn’t shaking. I can only hear my own footsteps. Upon reaching, I had some thought. Is there a day like this? Why should it be today? Why not another time of my life? And why did I choose to visit the river side in the mid- day, not in the afternoons as I used to do. A cool breeze blew and I wasn’t able to do within minutes. A calmed hug I received at my back.
