Having been looking forward to him to be one of those that would deliver the
Island from those oppressing them. After finishing his advanced studies with
High grade mysterious fire engulfed his father’s cocoa farm which was the
Main source of making money for the man, the profits he makes on the farm is
What he uses in sending his children to school. After this ugly incident it was clear
That things would not be the same again with the family. It was certain that his
Ambition to further his academics would be negatively affected if not totally
Truncated. This saddens him, but he takes solace in what the people are saying that
If it is not this, it may be something worst. It was extremely difficult for the man
To pick up his work again. Therefore, after five years of staying with his father with
Nothing forth coming he decides to relocate to another land to fend for himself.
When he gets to another island where he thinks things would be better he was
Shocked to discover that what he expects was not what happened. He had to be a
Laborer at some places. While doing this, his parents took ill and the money he has

Marry the man who is about twenty-five years older than her. Five years into their
Marriage. There was a marriage seminar and the resource person asks if anyone could
Share his or her experience with the spinsters to learn from. She was the one who stands
To share her experience with people that she has never have a time to regret her
