in #story5 years ago

Dear Steemians,

There is village called Arokunde, it an ancient village, their land is reach in agriculture, they happened to be the only village which corn (maize) used to grow, others villages around corn never grow up or survive.

The village of Arokunde has become more wealthier than the rest of the villages around them this make others villagers envy them and try investigating what is the secret behind the corn plantation or if any spiritual attachment to it.

There is another village called Aaro, it very nearly to Arokunde village, they set up three men's to spy for the secret behind corn planting success in Arokunde, these three man pretend as men's who depends on walk and get pay daily (labour) they went to the village of Arokunde, but immediately they came in, villagers of Arokunde suspecting them, they went straigh to alert the baale (head of the village) of this Arokunde village about these three men, without those three aware, Arokunde village leader set up ten wise men to keep following them up, day and night, and in the third day the three disguised men's was caught at night when they are try to break the place where villager's used to store your harvested corn, they were brought before the head of Arokunde village, and they were sentence to death by beheading.

Information reach Aroo villages that those tree sent to spy were caught at night and got killed, this got them angry, they decided to wage war against Arokunde village, but due to unity, and cooperation of villagers in Arokunde village plus they have enough money to buy war weapon and hire more local fighters, these prevent and scared away Aroo villagers to wage war against Arokunde village.

Few years later, a child was born into Aroo village, this boy grow up in wisdom and he decided to investigate the secret behind corn planting in Arokunde village, he came up with a plan that everyone in Aroo village should raise money for a specific project, when he get the money, he told them of his plans and they support and wish him luck, he went to Arokunde village pretend as a bussinss man, he firstly, build a new home for head of Arokunde village, everyone got surprised, this made them to welcome him to their midst, after that when he tender his good plans, to invest, support and provide a standard storage facilities to people of Arokunde village, everyone got happier.

After a year, he married the only daughter of a popular head of famer, this make their bound so stronger, few months later, the wife got pregnant, at that time this disguise man begin his investigation, promising his wife heaven and earth, wife has no option than to open up, she told told her husband that, corn selling out to others villagers were been per boil, dried up again before sold out to others villagers!

Oh really, this was the statement by husband (disguise bussinss man), this man went to market and buy his wife some expenses cloths, breads and cultures attire and went back home to surprised his wife, that same night the wife went to his father house and steal some original corn for his husband, before day break this man journey back to his village (Aroo village) and gave them this original corn to plant and return to Arokunde village before day break.

After two years, Aroo village was abale to produce corn for their consumption and kept alot in store, a year later, Aroo villagers didn't buy from Arokunde village anymore, it was that time they suspected that there is a traitor in their village, during their findings they suspected the disguise bussinss man, they went angrily to demolish him, unfortunately, he run away with his wife and kids.

This is how Aroo villagers were able to produce corn in their village as well, not that alone, those villages who buy from Arokunde village didn't patronise them anymore because they have corn planted in their land as well.
