Akpos decided to follow his friend Osas
on a hunting trip deep in the forest of
Okomu reserve in Iguobazuwa. Akpos
has never gone hunting while Osas has
hunted all his life. When they got to the
middle of the forest, Osas told Akpos to sit by
a tree and not make a sound
while he checks out an antelope trail.
After he got about a quarter of a mile
away, Osas heard a blood-curling
scream which scared away nearby
antelope. He rushed back to Akpos and yelled;
"I think I tell you say make you
quiet?"
Akpos replied : "Shuo, I try o, I really try.
When green snake waka pass my leg I
nor shake body or make peem sound.
When gorilla come dey breath hot and smelly
smelly air for my face, I nor
shake body or make shekele sound. But
when two squirrel waka enter my
trouser leg, one come tell the other one
say, "Chei, see as this two palm kernels
big like coconut, we nor go fit chop dem
finish for here, so make we pluck
and carry dem go home", naim I come
start to halla.
