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.
