Explorers Story o'clock

There was once a house that was infested with many mice. They would run around the rooms, nibble on the food, and make a lot of noise. The people who lived in the house were very annoyed and disgusted by the mice. They tried to catch them with traps and chase them away with brooms, but nothing worked. The mice were too clever and fast. One day, the mother of the house had an idea. She decided to use food poison to eliminate the mice. She bought a packet of poison from the market and mixed it with some cheese. She placed the cheese in different corners of the house, hoping that the mice would eat it and die. The next morning, she woke up and checked the cheese. To her delight, she saw that most of the cheese was gone. She also noticed some dead mice lying on the floor. She felt relieved and happy that her plan had worked. She quickly cleaned up the mess and threw away the cheese and the mice. However, she did not know that there was one more piece of cheese left in the kitchen. It was h...

  There once lived two brothers in a small village. The elder brother, Tunde, was hard working and diligent. He helped his father on the farm, studied at school, and saved his money for the future. The younger brother, Segun, was lazy and foolish. He hated working on the farm, skipped school, and spent his money on trivial things. He believed that money grew on trees and he could get rich without any effort. One day, their father fell ill and could not work anymore. He called his sons and said, "My sons, I have no money to leave you. All I have is this land and these trees. You must take care of them and yourselves. They are your inheritance and your source of income." He then gave each son a half of the land and a half of the trees. Tunde thanked his father and promised to work hard and make him proud. He planted crops on his land, watered and pruned his trees, and sold his produce at the market. He earned enough money to support his father, himself, and his future family....

  Once upon a time, in the bustling streets of Lagos, there lived a young boy named   Joshua . His days were filled with the scorching sun, the dusty roads, and the weight of a heavy crate of bottled water on his small shoulders. Joshua was a   water hawker , weaving through the chaotic traffic, shouting, “Cold water! Pure water!” His voice echoed against the high-rise buildings, but it seemed to get lost in the cacophony of the city. Joshua’s parents were  stage performers , eking out a living from their art. They sang and danced on makeshift stages, their voices rising to the heavens, hoping for a miracle. But life was harsh, and the applause faded quickly. They couldn’t afford to send Joshua to school, so he spent his days selling water to commuters, dreaming of a different life. The sun bore down on Joshua’s thin frame as he darted between cars, his flip-flops worn and tattered. His dreams were simple: a full stomach, a roof over his head, and maybe, just maybe, ...

He had heard that Abuja was the city of dreams, where anyone could make it big with the right skills and attitude. He also heard that Abuja was all about packaging, meaning that appearance and presentation mattered a lot in the city.
