EKI AND THE BEAUTIFUL BIRD.

INTRO

Story story story

Once upon a time

Time ,time

There lived a man called Mango

Sitting on a chair called cherry

Do you have a comb called  kola

Say it again fanta.

The title of my story is Eki and the beautiful Bird.

In Edo State Nigeria, there lived a little girl named Eki.She lived in a little village with her parents and, she was the only child her parents had. Every day before her parents left for the farm ,they would instruct her saying-

                 Eki my child ,Eki my child

                 Eki my very pretty child

                 Listen to this advice

                 Going outside the house is risky,

                 Very, very risky

                 Stay inside till we return

                 and you will be save.

So, Eki always stayed inside the house in obedience to her parents, until one day. Eki got bored of staying inside  the house so, she decided to stroll around the compound ‘after all I wouldn’t go too far’ she said to herself. As she strolled around the house compound, she heard a bird singing sweetly,when she looked up she saw a beautiful bird and feel in love with it at sight and Eki and the bird became friends. Every day, Eki came out of the house to hear the bird sing ,after singing they would play and laugh together,until one day.

 The bird had finished singing and Eki wanted to go back home in time before the  return of her parents.The bird said -                      

                 Eki my friend , Eki my friend

                 Eki my only true friend

                 A  friend knows a friend’s house 

                 Since I know your's why don’t you                                     

                 Come with me to know mine.

Eki decided to go with the bird on one condition that, they will come back before her parents returned from the farm and the bird agreed. They walked into the bush and kept walking awhile until they got to the bird’s house. After meeting the bird`s family, she told the bird that she must return immediately ,before her parents return home.                                             

 The beautiful bird escorted her to a point , then said ``Its about to rain and I must return to the nest for my parents have warned me never to stay out in the rain``.Eki tried to find her way back home but couldn’t.Then she tried to retrace her steps back to the bird’s house only to get lost.She walked for days in the bush , crying out for help but none came. She wished she had never disobeyed her parents.Sadly,she never found her way back home. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                     THE END
