Good day friends, am new here and I hope am welcomed into this amazing community of writers. today I will sharing a story with us that has a lot of lessons to be learnt.
Please just to add up, I do stand to be corrected and I will really appreciate it.

And now here goes the story;


image source

Once upon a time, there lived a foolish man in the village of Amaka called Oku.

One day he had a dream, in his dream he had a large hectare of land where he cultivated so many crops ranging from; cassava, maize, okra and yam.

On the other hand, he also reared livestock’s like cattle, sheep, goats and poultry birds which were all sources of income to him. This also made him a very rich man in the village he came from.
When he woke up he shouted “Am Rich” He invited all his friends to a party and told them he is a rich man and they all drank all through the day into the night.

While the party was going on, one of his friends asked him ‘How is it that you are rich today when you were poor yesterday’.
The man told his friend about the dream, of how he had a large hectare of farm land and how he cultivated so many crops and reared a good number of live stocks that made him the richest man in the village.

His friend replied him “So it was a dream you Foolish Man” were is the money now, he said wait I will go to sleep and get it.
Morals for the story is, we should know those we call as friends and if we have dreams like this we should work towards it and not just believing it will happen one day.

In life things don’t just happen, we are the ones to make it happen. That is why the story tells you the type of man Oku is, he was regarded as the foolish man by his friend because he never had time to plan towards his dream and also work towards it before coming to celebrate.

This should be a pointer to those of us who are dreaming big in life. The question is what are your plans in achieving this dreams of yours, please do think about it.

Thanks for going through my blog, Good day.
