Back to school
With his oversized head, he walked side to side trying to tilt his head, but the weight couldn't be controlled. His head was overly stuffed and I bet I couldn't control it myself if I was in the same shoe as the lad. He was a crossover student, a newbie.
I walked behind with a bucket and a scooper made of leather, roping materials, and of course, leather, whatever that is called, it was for getting water from a well.
I threw in my scooper/fetcher while taking a grip on the rope, and then slowly, I drew water and emptied it into my bucket. Until I threw it a second time and lost my grip.
The fetcher fell inside the well and there was no way I could reach it without a height that could reach down.
I looked down at my drowning possession in awe and heard the newbie chuckle.
Suddenly a thought crept in.
.. "please can I try with your scooper to recover mine? ", I asked him politely with a smile.
"please all man on his own" he replied with rather a mocking grin.
I stood for a while in shock. I would have helped instantly if it happened to him.
Without lingering, I headed towards a shop nearby and demanded for a pole leaning just beside their property.
Triumphantly, I walked back towards the well, with a slow pace, I lifted the pole slightly above my chest so that the newbie could se how fast I got a better solution.
I had withdrawn my scooper already and was about returning the pole, when the mountain-head called out to me. Looking back, I realized that he was not with his scooper no more, it had fallen. I couldn't hold in my joy, I giggled and returned the pole to where it belonged.
I was done narrating the incident to the shop owner, the one who helped me with the pole, when the newbie drew close and please with the woman to allow him use the pole.
The lady refused but after I pleaded on his behalf, she allowed him.
The newbie ran back with the pole and was struggling to pull out his fetcher when the woman sent out her son to retrieve it.
I watched in amazement as the pole was collected from him. He tried to struggle but realizing that the boy was sent by his mother, he was rendered speechless.
After he stood there for some minute, he returned to the woman..
"please ma, I have not gotten my scooper yet before your son collected it from me" , he said.
,"I know, the woman answered"
This speech threw the newbie into a new trance and I was sure he won't recover from the incident for sometime.
