This is in reference to the challenge organised by @swissclive. God bless your heart.
There was a king who lived in Kuvuki land. He always think about himself and really confident in his riches. He doesn't really "scatter abroad". He prefers to gather everything all in.
"He is a task master not a king" said Daramola.
"He wants to turn himself to a mini god" blurted Akindele.
"Why become a king and not have impact on your citizens" screamed Akeredolu.
He has never been someone who listens to anyone anyway. Everyone knows this.
On the 7th year of his reign, everyone gathered at the town square in protest and revolt against the "taskmaster" they called king.
Upon hearing the gatherings from his guards, he sent many guards to restore peace and order but they were turned back. He had to leave with the guards and go to the town square to listen to their grievances. He muttered to himself, "They could gather because they still have strength, i know what to do".
He got to the town square and as he was put down by the guards who bear him up the whole time on their shoulders, everyone shouted all sorts at him. Unknown to him, the guards were involved too. The chief guard shouted to the other guards: "Seize him!". They stripped him of his crown, his garments and as they were sending him away from the village, the chief guard said, "You don't repay evil with evil, rather we do more good to overcome evil". He finally shared this story:
"There was a man who never laughed, who never sing, who never danced or played. When one day he died, his insurance was denied because, they claimed since he never lived, then he never really died".
Word Count: 284.
Wish you can continue the story...like a movie
😁
Hahahahahaha. Maybe i will. Thanks a lot dear.
Nice piece @olawalium
Thank you so much @iamgemini duly appreciated dearie.
This is another glimpse into daily life in Nigeria. Useful for those who don't live there.
Glad i was able to open you to the ancient practise in Nigeria back then when kings use people as their subject. Thank you.

This one got me. Very nice story twinie
Thanks a lot twinnie. You are a darling. Always appreciate you.
The final role of the guards is evidence that they had not actually failed in the previous attempts before they came with the king in person. It is a commendable story, especially as you manage to conceal, and only reveal the conspiracy of the guards in the end.
However, i have some English corrections you might want to consider.

Thank you so much for that but for people conversant with the Bible, scatter abroad is a term for giving; helping and that is why it was in quote to keep people guessing and it was a simple term. My posts and writings has always been about simple english more reason i didn't use repulsed. I deliberately made everything in simple term except the scatter abroad which Bible readers would know. Thanks all the same.
I see. The honor is mine still. Thanks
Nice story.
