Mama osariemen was about to prepare their evening meal at about 6:30 p.m when she asked osahon, her neighbor's 9 year old son to help her watch osariemen, her 3+ year old son. She wanted to rush the cooking before papa osariemen would return from work.

In front of their compound was a ring well that the outer ring was not very far from the ground. They have been told to raise it higher several times but they have been paying deaf ear to it. 15 minutes after she went inside, osariemen ran to her in the kitchen shouting with teary eyes, "osariemen don't fall inside well!!" "How??" She shouted and rushed straight to look inside the well.

She saw the water shaking but couldn't see inside clearly. "Oh my God! This pikin don kill me o..!!" She kept shouting. She rushed inside to get her touch light so she could see inside the well clearly. As she opened her door, she saw osariemen sitting quietly on the sofa, all by himself. "Osariemen, how did you get in here?" "Devil is a liar! See the way this pikin wan kill me just now!" She knelt down and started thanking God.
