The Weird Day That His Life Was Changed #2
Exploring my talent, putting it into use in the literary world for the benefit of humanity and promotion of communication
That the person would face. Poverty is bad he says to
Himself as he moved to carry the bag from where it was
To a side for keeps. Pending the time that the person would
Surface. But no one surfaces until the time he wants to close
The shop, then something tells him to check the contents of the
Bag and on opening the bag he discovered that the bag was
Full of money. He dropped the bag and moved backwards
Were the ghosts the ones who have dropped this here. For he
Has been hearing of ghosts doing that for people but he did
Not believe. How could ghosts drop something like this
Here? So many thoughts started running through his mind
But he was not sure which one is right. Then he did not know
What to do about the duffel should he put it outside until
The person comes or carry it home or leave it in his shop?
After many deliberations within his heart, he decided to carry
The bag home so that when the owner comes asking then
He would give the owner his bag. Three months after this
He saw no one to come and ask for the bag. And then he became
Confused. Now he cannot tell anyone about this because
If he tells anyone they may think he is lying and that he is
Cooking up stories for them and read other meanings to it.
Then he said to himself, he will borrow out of the money
To stock his business. If the person eventually comes he will
Beg him that he borrows little out of the money for his business
But lo and behold no one comes for the bag, and the little
Money he has borrowed from the money to trade with has
Brought about transformations to his business in the neighborhood
He started trading with the money and started depositing the
Money in his bank account bit by bit until he deposited all there
And after this deposit, the business grows remarkably that people
Were amazed at how his business becomes transformed within
Twenty-four months of establishment. What he told them was a
Friend kept a money with him as he was traveling to another
Country and the person may arrive any time to collect his
Money. All who heard him said, good for him because he
Deserved such favor because he has served his master faithfully
When others were doing illegal deals and stealing from their
Master he did not do that. It is a good recompense for him people
Said unto him. Twenty years after the incident, for he still maintain
The shop, though he has other shops at other places and has
Even gotten a manufacturing company. Then one day, two
People were passing by the shop and they were discussing they
Were perhaps retired police officers and they were reliving
Their pasts when in the service. One of them told the other that
Did he remember about twenty years back when they were
Pursuing some thieves who have robbed a rich man
Of huge amount of money that they ran pass this place
By then this place was still bushy he said, and the man
Said he remembers that day, that as they were
Fleeing they were also throwing things at them
Which prevented them from apprehending them that
Day. It was a terrible day, the second told him
That he has been thinking that if they were able to
Get them they would have received great reward
From the man, but since they couldn’t apprehend
Them, neither recover some of the stolen money
The man could not reward them as he has planned to
That was the little he could hear from them as
The people walked pass the shop. Then, the man
Remembered how and where he found the bag
Remembers the date, the following day what
Happened, that was why people could not come
Out early that day, for fear he reasoned. So it was
Stolen money. It was that day he knows the source
Of the money. But at that time there is nothing he could
Do again. And now he has become one of the richest person in the Island.
