Johnny Broke The Siege. Story with an all lifetime lesson

Image
     Jonny was only five years old when he lost his father Agbeli Dzidepo. The mother’s name is Asinyo Esinam, a woman of value but unfortunately financially handicapped. Even before Mrs Esi lost her husband, life has not been easy for this household even though her husband was a teacher in Living Academy Preparatory School. Johnny was a handsome and a respectful boy who took exactly after his father’s good moral. His parents were very particular about his moral upbringing and his growth academically. Unlike children who turn out to be a disappointment even when their parents work tirelessly for their upkeep, his attitude was different. At home, he is the type that would run errands for the mother and made sure he reads his notes after and before school. Johnny learnt a very common saying one day which gingers him to aspire higher even as a child. “Reading makes the man“ and “Practice makes man perfect.“ He never went a day without saying this after his morning devotion with the mother

He slept too early while still hungry. This happened!

After sleeping without eating in the evening, it wasn't even up to an hour but the person awoke and was having difficulty in sleeping. The guy resides in the village and belongs to a family of middle income and was able to afford a cement building with aluminum roofing sheets. It is hard to find a ceiling in most of the rooms in the villa
