The Night of Fear turns to Night of Success

The truth is that oceans make up most of the surface of our blue planet. They may form just a sliver on the outside of the Earth, but they are very important, not only in hosting life but also to sustain aquatic life for the consumption of humanity.

There is a popular fisher men sometimes ago, he well known in the business of fishing, one day he went to to the river , cast his net into the river hoping to catch many fish but unfortunate for him, he went empty handed back to his house, when his wife and children saw him afar off, they were happy thinking they will enjoying their meal with fresh fish as they used to do, when the man get closer to them , they couldn't see any fish, that was disappointed really.

The man and his wife went to bed with the empty stomach, little food left were served to their two kids, early in the morning, the man has wake went to farm to go get vegetables, while on his way back home he saw a grass cutter crossed the road, the man ran after this animal to kill, but unfortunate this grass cutter jump in river full of mud, this man couldn't followed it up, he went back to take his food items got from the farm, on getting there he couldn't find food items, he kept on shouting and crying, he lost hope of going home empty handed again, he decided to suicide himself.

He went in to the bush to hang himself, as he was going, there is one old man watching and monitoring what he was doing, he cut the robe (very strong robe in the forest) he tied it up on the obeche tree, he was about to put the robe on his head, the old man shouted Stop! Stop!! Stop!!! this man got scared because he never thought he could see anyone in such forest, he intended to ran away, but the old man called him back, asking him why he wanted to suicide himself. He explained his situations to old man, this old man have compassion on him, he weep his tears, encouraging him and strengthen his heart.

The man, asked him to following up to his own farm land, when they got there, old man told him to get food items as he wants for his family to survive, the man get enough and they both leave the farm, they got to separate to go different way, old man advice him about life, never to give up on his fishing activities, he told him he foreseen a brighter future for him. they bid each bye and gone separate ways.

When he got home, children and his wife were wondering where the man got enough food items from, he told them about the man he met but keep silence about the suicide. He felt so good his family could eat and satisfied, he remembered on some of the advice of old man, he take to the old man advice, he told his wife he going for fishing at the night, when he got to the river, he did as old man advice him, he was there casting his net into the river for many hours, no success, he kept on trying, at a time he fell asleep on canoe, when he will be open his eye's he found himself in another town without knowing how he got there. The next thing he saw a rays of light, he got scared wanted to ran away, but those elders started prostrating and honouring him as their King. He asked what he going on, they carry him on the white horse and begin calling him King, they told him when they got to palace about the revelation said by Ifa priest that their king will come through such channel, which is why they are there waiting for the past 10 days.

They made him their king, elders and chiefs went to bring King family from his town. His wife and children was surprised to found him on the throne, his wife and children were welcome to the palace formally and they continue living their life.

The man (King) went to his own town few months later after becoming the King to search for the old man, but none of the community never knew who the old man was, King decided to look for the man in the forest, but because all his efforts in search for the old man was fruitless.

I hope you this story is writing to your own liking.
