Both Sides of the Story
Every day the old man shuffled slowly by, an old bag slung over his frail old shoulders.
Emily and Daniel (who were 6 and 7 years old, respectively) watched him with increasing curiosity as he never responded to their greetings.
Their Uncle Roni, a recovering alcoholic, told them the old man is evil.
The old man, whose name was Ayah, has a long unkempt beard and keeps to himself.
Uncle Roni told them that Ayah used to have three sons and a beautiful wife.But one day, he killed all, cooked, and ate them!
The bag he always carried contain their bones! Some of their bones were still in his bush house, the story went.
They arrived at the house, knocked and no one answered. They pushed the door open, inside was very clean and there were no bones. They were disappointed.
Later they told their mother what happened. She laughed and told them the old man was deaf, neither married nor had any children.We always need to hear both sides of the story.
Amazing..
