Are you ready for my story?
Yes Grandma, Damilola answered happily.
I will tell you a true life story, my grandchild. she said. Damilola answered happily.
Once upon a time, in a village called Ogodun, the sun was so high that you could hardly see anyone outside. It's that kind of weather that blighted the skin when you are outside.
Goats, hens and other animals ran from the sun's heat to find solace in shades.
Abike came out of the hut she shared with her husband, Tunji and Omlara, her mate.
She had to rush to the stream because there was not any water for her to prepare food with and it always already past noon.
