The Benson's family were living so peacefully as they had a strong bond between them as family. They are United and had never for once allowed anyone to harass anyone of them. Mr Benson is someone who is principled and has clean hands. He does not want anything bad to stain his hands and neither his family's.

Mr Benson has been a good man in his Community and has not for once done evil to anyone in his Community. They all knew him to be such a man. He has a good reputation and also wants his children to follow suites.

Benjamin is the first son of Mr Benson who is in the university. He is a brilliant guy who always works very hard to make it great in life. Benjamin has been the hope of the family and he has promised never to let his family down. This was his father's words to them all to never let each other down. So, they were living very fine and calm without having any form of issue with each other. Before Benjamin left for school, his father brought out a bunch of brooms which he gave to Benjamin, being the first son to break. He found it difficult to break it. He then passed it to David and to the last born which happened to be a girl. They were all unable to break the broom. Mr Benson explained to them that he wants their closeness and relationship to remain just like this bunch of brooms. They all nodded showing a sign of agreement between them.

This shows that there is a strong tie between them meaning the bond which will. not hard to break. The bond of oneness and the bond of togetherness.

Benjamin was through with his schooling and got a job in a reputable company. He worked diligently with the company without giving any complaints or disagreements. He has not for once disagreed with the company, but instead worked very hard to attain the best position in the Company. His boss, Mr Friday who happened to be the owner of the company called him to reward him handsomely for his neat job well done. This shows that he was doing so great and nice in his working place.

David is the second child of Mr Benson also graduated and was into exporting and importing. He has a very large supermarket where he sells electronics. David does pay his goods online and will be sent to him through the ship. This is what he does and he is making it to the fullest with his business. David is rich in his way and does not depend on his brother. He always sends money to his parents monthly as agreed between him and his brother.

Benjamin got married to a woman of his choice and the two loved each other to the fullest. They have stayed for three years and have a child. Benjamin's child's name is Harry. Harry was just four when his dad took him to his grandparent's house to visit them. It was fun to be with his grandparents. God was so kind, David also went home with his family which made them all complete including the last born who was still at home with the parents. Rita does help to take care of their parents. She was still 17 years old and needed to complete secondary school before leaving her parents. Benjamin and David had fun as well as their wives being together.

Mr Benson has some plots of land he kept for his children to build on which Benjamin and David knew about. They have been going to the land for farming when they were still children.

The Telecom director sent some of his staff to observe the land where they can mount their masks. They searched and the only place they saw a signal was in Mr Benson's land. They never knew the owner of the land and so went to consult the king. After much description, the king got to know the rightful owner of the land. The king sent for Mr Benson to come to his palace to see him, which he did. It was just like a dream to Mr Benson hearing that his land had been spotted by Telecom, became the happiest man ever.

He sent for his children and fortunately, they all came around and met up with the staff of the Telecom company. They came to conclusions and were given a tangible amount which made the family the richest in the town.

David's wife told David to collect his share of the money which he refused initially. Although, the money was transferred to his brother's account just because of the trust the dad had among his children. Benjamin on the other hand is the elder who has his own business and worked in a renounce company, he is now the new managing director (MD).

David's wife succeeded in pressuring her husband to go for his share of his money instead of allowing his brother to take the whole of the money all by himself. David sent his elder brother a message regarding the money. He told the brother that he needs his share of the money. Benjamin did not respond as there was an agreement between the three himself, David and Rita towards the money which he must not break. Mr Benson heard what happened and had hypertension which led to his death.

Mrs Benson called his children together to caution them about what their father, Mr Benson said to the three of them. She reminded them once again that no one can break the strong bond between them and not even their wives. David did not listen and was bragging and nagging making lots of noises. He left angrily with his wife who was also mounting pressure on him to take his share. It was just like the devil coming in between the family to destroy them all.

When they both got to their respective destinations, David went to his brother's house to ask for his share in which he wanted to kidnap Benjamin's son, Harry. It was a tug of war between them and Benjamin decided to sign a check for him which was his share.

The wife was so happy. After some months, his cargo which was bringing his goods subsided and his money sank into the sea. David was left with nothing. He has no choice other than to meet up with his mum for an apology. The mum rejected him as he has not done so well. Taking his share is something not called for. He told the mum after she has accepted him to call Benjamin to come back home for him to apologise to him. The mum, Mrs Benson called his elder son to come home but pretended that she was sick. This made him rush home with immediate effect to attend to the mother who was pretending to be sick. On getting home, he met his younger brother, David who knelt with tears begging for forgiveness. Benjamin has a soft heart just like his dad. Benjamin forgave his younger brother.

Benjamin gave David, his younger brother a tangible amount of money which he used to start his business. This made David's wife who was the initiator and originator of the rift between the nice family go to Benjamin's house to apologize greatly for forgiveness.

They later lived a happy life.
