One word for Akpors this time?

By

Akpors decided to go sight seeing with his friend Emeka. They loaded up Emeka’s minivan and headed east. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in bad weather. They pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive
woman who answered the door if they could spend the night there.
WOMAN: “I realize it’s a terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I’m recently widowed,” she explained. “I’m afraid the neighbours will talk if I let you stay in my house.”
AKPORS: “Don’t worry, We’ll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we will be gone first thing tomorrow morning.”
The woman agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night. Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of sight seeing.
After about six months, Emeka got an unexpected letter from a Lawyer. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the Lawyer of that attractive widow he had met on that sight seeing weekend.
He went to his friend Akpors and asked,
EMEKA: “Akpors, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our sight seeing holiday up east about six months ago?”
AKPORS: “Yes, I do.”
EMEKA: “Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?”
AKPORS: “Well, um, yes,” a little embarrassed about being found out, “I have to admit that I did.”
EMEKA: “And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?”
Akpors’ face turned sour and he said,
AKPORS: “Yes, look, I’m sorry, Emeka. I’m afraid I did. Why do you ask?”.
EMEKA: “She just died and left everything for me.”
What would you do if you were Akpors?

SHORT BUT SAD STORY: The Scorpion And The Turtle

By
O nce upon a time, the scorpion wanted to cross the river. It noticed a turtle on the rock and begged the turtle to ferry it across the river where it could find some succulent green vegetation. The turtle asked, "How can i be sure you will not sting my neck?" "Don't be silly," the scorpion shouted back, "If i did that, we would both drown." The turtle was persuaded and so they both swam (with the scorpion strapped to the turtle's back) towards the green vegetation. When they were almost at the end of the river, contrary to its promise, the scorpion stung the turtle on the neck. Struggling to make it to the riverbank and gasping, the turtle with a look of betrayal asked the scorpion, "Why did you do this to me?" Jumping off from the turtle's back to safety on the land, he replied, "I thought you might dive under the water and drown me." What did you learn guys? I learnt that people find it very hard to trust others.
