As a kid, I liked playing with stones till one day
I threw one and it hit my mother's fowl and it
died instantly. ๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿ™†

I thought i was just alone but
surprisingly, my sister was right behind me
watching. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

Then she said "give me #100 and i
won't tell mum"
I said "i don't have but please don't tell her,
she will beat me up."โ˜๐Ÿผโ˜๐Ÿผโ˜๐Ÿผ

The following day, Mum told her to wash the
plates and sweep the surrounding, but she
said: "Mum, SAM said he will do it"

Then she came to me and said: "SAM, u wash
the plates and sweep the surrounding or else,
don't forget u killed a fowl"๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿป

Without hesitating, i washed the plates and
swept the surrounding for her.

The next day, mum told her to go and fetch
water and fill the drum. ๐Ÿšฐ๐Ÿšฐ๐Ÿšฐ๐Ÿ›ข๐Ÿ›ข๐Ÿ›ข

She said again: "Mum,
SAM said he will do it"
Then she came to me and said: "SAM, u
remember that fowl??

Fill this drum with water๐Ÿ›ข๐Ÿ›ข๐Ÿ›ข
or else...."
That's how i drew water and filled the drum.

That same day in the evening, mum sent her to the market to buy food items,๐Ÿž๐Ÿฅฆ๐Ÿฅ’๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿš๐Ÿฅ™๐ŸŒฎ and again she
said: Mum, SAM said he will go and buy them

She came to me again and said: "SAM, don't
forget that the fowl is still dead, go to the
market and buy d food items or else...."

I just stood up and went to my Mum with tears
in my eyes I found her seated in the house, I
went to her, knelt down and said while crying:

"Mum, I'm so sorry pls forgive me. I'm the one
who killed your fowl๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“ but it wasn't a deliberate
action, plz Mum forgive me I'm sorry."๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Then she replied: "my son, the day u killed the
fowl, I was at the window๐Ÿข๐Ÿ›๐Ÿข watching everything
that happened๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๐Ÿ™†โ€โ™€.
