An old woman lived in a village called umuka. she was one of the most unfortunate people living in the village of umuka. The entire village was tired of her, she was always gloomy, constantly complaining, and always in a bitter mood. The longer she lived, the more bile she was becoming and the more poisonous her words kept hurting people who crossed paths with her. People avoided her because his ill-luck became contagious. It was even unnatural and annoying to be happy around her. She established the feeling of unhappiness in others.
As years passed by, she was ninety-eight years, a tremendous event happened. The little kids who lived around saw the old woman singing and smiling, they were surprised so they went around the village telling villagers who cared to listen that the old woman seems to be happy, immediately the rumor spread like wildfire “. The old woman had not been seen complaining and murmuring nor has she been seen wearing a sad face for days she was always smiling more than anyone in the village, and even her face was all bloomed up”. Some villagers gathered together at the village square and agreed to visit the old woman. At last, they saw the old woman dancing and singing in her small hut.
They asked the old woman:
– What happened to you? this is unlike you mama!!!
– Nothing special.. – she replied.
–For Ninety-Eight years I’ve been running away from happiness because I lost everything at an early stage in life, so being happy was useless to me.
So today I decided to be happy without thinking of all I had lost because I can't get them back....…
That is why I am happy now!
The villagers nodded their heads and smiled
