Talebearing24- A Patient Dog Eats the Fattest Bones

          Once upon a time, there lived two sisters who were twins. They were living with their parents who were poor. Their parents struggled everyday to make both ends meet. Their father was full of wisdom and he always created time to counsel his daughters about the need to be patient in whatever they were doing. He talked to them about so many other virtues, like tolerance, endurance, good behaviour and he always ended his talks with a saying that "whoever had patience had everything". When these twins were eighteen years old, their father died. They felt greatly the impact of their father's demise because they lost a god companion who also counselled them and a breadwinner.

         Soon after the death of their father, their mother found things difficult. As a result of this, she took the twins to her distant relation who was living a few kilometers away. Their mother's relation accepted them but he was a cruel man who maltreated the girls so much. They were to do all the house chores at home and followed the man to the farm. While they worked so hard at home, the man's only daughter would sleep endlessly. She was very lazy and spoilt.
         One day, Rachael, the man's daughter went to the man's room and stole four thousand naira. The man was so furious and called the twins to his parlour. He concluded that it was the twins who must have stolen the money. They were beaten and punished heavily for the money they didn't take.
The hard life and suffering continued for a long time. One day, Kehinde called her twin sister, Taiwo and told her that she wanted to run away to their mother. Taiwo reminded her that she should be patient as their late father used to tell them when he was alive. Kehinde refused to lisen to her sister's advice, and soon after, she ran back to their mother. When she got home, she counldn't continue her education because there was no money. She got married when she was twenty-one to a poor man who couldn't take good care of her. Soon after their marriage, their mother also died.
          Taiwo felt the grief of her mother's death and she determined more than ever before to be patient to get what she wanted. She finished her secondary school and gained admission into a University to study Accountancy. As time went on, the man she was living with grew to like her and he decided to sponsor her

education at the University. Rachael, the biological daughter of the man, had dropped out of secondary school and she had become a wayward and virtueless girl without a bright future.
          Taiwo finished her University education and graduated as an Accountant. Three years after her graduation, she got married to a pilot and she lived happily with her husband. After her marriage, she got a job with an international organization which necessitated that she should go and work in the United State of America. Before she travelled to the United State of America, a send-off party was organised for her. The man who sponsored her to school was invited to the party. Rachael and kehinde were also present at the party. When the man rose up to talk about Taiwo, he praised her for her endurance and patience. He ended his speech by saying that "I really agree that a patient dog eats the fattest bone".

Talebearing24: Every Good Boy Deserves Favour

Once upon a time, there was a boy called Godswill. This boy came from a good home of a monogamous family of three. The elder sister was out of the country, Godswill was the second born of the family. He was a well-disciplined boy to the extent that everybody in their neighbourhood loved him unlike his younger brother called Theophillus who was very  rude, arrogant and ill-mannered.

Anytime Godswill was sent on an errand, he would quickly go and come back in a jiffy with a satisfactory response. This made his parents to love him more. Even this superb attitude of his reflected in his academic performance at school because he used to come first in a class of thirty students whereas the reverse was the case for  Theophillus. Most times, he would be punished at home for doing wrong things at the right time, his teacher used to complain of his laziness and non-chanllant attitudes toward his academics at school.

His parents always used his brother, Godswill as a good example in the course of advising Theophillus with the hope that he would turn a new leaf but to no avail. Days turned into weeks

while months turned into years, both were growing as expected but there was no time their parents saw Theophillus that they would not feel unhappy for his bad characters. They didn’t relent in their prayers and efforts for him to change for betterment.

One day, their parents decided to buy Godswill’s favourite for him with the intent that this might change Theophillus for good. They bought varieties of good clothes, two pairs of shoes, leather belts and handset. When Theophilus saw all these items, he felt dejected and shamefully asked for his own, they told him to turn a new leaf if he desired good things and favour from them. Theophilus wept bitterly and promised his parents that he would change for betterment.
