POVERTY

  It was on saturday afternoon when I was on my way to the market when I meet with a huge tall brown man who introduced himself to me by telling me his official names. I also told him my names too because the man seems to be quiet amazing. After that, the man asked me my story and I decided to tell him about our family too. Since I was leaving with single parent and our life was too difficult by then. I started by telling him of my mother's sickness which was quite a long illness of her but we did not take her to the hospital because we did not have any by then. I also told him of my dropping out of school while I was in stardand six. The man agreed to help me and my family by first taking my mother to the main hospital which was in the city. He also took me too a boarding school which was a provincial school. Since that day, I realised that a friend in need is a friend indeed and I knew I have found a real friend in my entire kife.
