Each time it rains, I and my brothers would not stop to dance, the kind of dance we used to dance in the rain, was not compare to what we danced in the church, in the rain was where we free up ourselves, but we do this in a place where our father would not see us, because he would never wants us to be in the rain, yet it was what we like, I remember staying for two days without taking a bathe and be waiting for the rain to drop.
Taking a bathe in the bathroom was not fun for me, if it wasn't in the rain, then I would not consider bathing, once it starts raining, so many children's in the neighborhood, would make a joyful noise and that would tell I and my brother that the show has begun.
Another thing we used to do, apart from dancing in the rain, was to watch fights between cocks, and when we see this, *we will enter into the house and take out our school cutlass, and the cutlass must be two in number.
Therefore, we will have to count to three and then put both of the cutlass into the ground*, the heads part of the cutlass will have to be up, and then we will make sure to joined the heads together, by so doing, it is a simple spells, that the two cocks are going to fight till dawn.
I and my brother did this, and two cocks fought for three days, it was fun to us, so we were doing this times without number, i have lost counts of how many spells we cast on cocks, because we did it so many times, so the fighting of cocks with one another was becoming something that people talks about, and a lot of people were not happy about it.
As so many peoples realized the cocks were fighting because they were on spells, it announced that, no one should performed spells on cocks to fight, because some cocks were dying of fighting endless fight.
And as long as I remember, of all the cocks that were fighting this fight, seventy five percent was the one i and my brother cast spells on, and no matter how the people who owns this cocks pleaded that those who cast spells on their cocks should released them from their spells, we didn't do anything, it was a fun habits we do when we are in the rain.
The news was becoming serious and even our father told us, we should not get involved with cock fighting spells, although he knows, his children's would never do such a thing, I look at my brother and my brother look at me, I wanted to laugh but I control myself, we were sitting in the parlour, during this interaction, and it was like a family meeting.
But as we were children's, it was even a thing of joy to us, that we could do something that the elders comments about, you see elders, no matter what children's do, they will look at the children's, as if they do not know anything, meanwhile, when I was a child, I know how to cast spells, so we didn't stop, I continue to cast my spell when I see two cocks.
But days and days were passing and I see no fights between cocks, then whenever I see those cocks that do not want to fight, I will hates on them so much, and I will do everything possible to make them fight, but when they could not still fight, i will called them weakling.
Father was strolling around, and he saw our cutlass at somewhere far from the house, so he brought them home, and caution us, "what's wrong, and why do we throw away our cutlass, when nothing was wrong with the cutlasses?", I wish I knew, i would not have said anything to him.
But I opened my mouth and told him, "we didn't throw them away and then he wants to know, if we didn't throw them away, how come our cutlass was there", i wish i knew from the beginning, I would have keep shut and allow him to be the only person talking.
But I said something that makes our secret exposed, father now give a second thoughts about what would make our cutlass to be far from home, and then he realizing, the cutlass was on spells, our deeds was revealed, that we involved in casting spells on cocks.
Father took us to school the next day which was thursday and asked the headmaster to discipline us for him, if it was father who discipline I and my brother, it would have been good, but you see that headmaster, he was something else, I wonder if his children's survive his punishment's at home.
We confess our sins in front of everyone that, from that day henceforth, we will stop to cast spells on cocks, to fight an endless fight, father was the one who save all the cocks in the neighborhood, if not, I would still be casting spells whenever I see two cocks.
