SHORT STORY: The Snake Prince: The Glitter Of Death

By

Once upon a time, there lived a king who had a daughter called Aminat. She was the most beautiful girl in town. Aminat was asked for her hand in marriage by so many young men, but she refused. Her expectation was for a ready-made handsome young man with riches.



One day, as she was on a visit to a friend's house, she saw a prince riding on a horse with many slaves following him and carrying his riches. The princess was so dazzled that she fell in love with him at first sight. She ran to herfather to tell him about the prince. Her father was so pleased that his daughter had finally found a husband. So the prince and princess got married. As they were riding to the prince's palace, they passed through a thick forest and the husband turned into a Python. The princess was so frightened that she fell down, collapsed and died. That snake (python) became an ancestral demon/monument still worshipped in that town till today.

JOKE: AKPORS: Like father, like son

By
Akpors and his father were visiting the shopping mall for the first time. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. Akpors asked his father, AKPORS: “Daddy what is this?” His father [never having seen an elevator] responded; DAD: “Akpors, I have never seen anything like this in my life before, I don’t know what it is.” While Akpors and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old woman of 72 years of age walked towards the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the woman rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and Akpors and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a beautiful young woman of 22 years of age stepped out. Akpors’ father said to him, DAD: “Run fast, go and bring your mother.”
