Talebearing24- What a Hilarious and True Life Story!

         Once upon a time, there was a girl and her brother attending the same army school. As we all know that soldiers are great disciplinarians. It had been their usual act to brutalize any student that came late to school every morning before school morning devotion. Sometimes, they would ask the offenders to do frog jump, crawling, running on stones barefooted, rolling on the floor, washing the school toilet, beating the offenders on the tongues and fore- fingers and the likes.
         These barbaric, inhumane and painful attitudes of the soldiers made the students to fear them seriously beyond imagination and expectation. Therefore, they came to school in time to avoid any brutality but there was no way students would not be caught coming late to school every morning and they went through these uncivilized punishments from their hands. The older the students, the harder the punishments given to the students. These behaviours were habitual and the students accepted their fate.

Talebearing24- Make Hay While The Sun Shines

         Amos and David were intimate friends while they were classmates in secondary school. Their friendship started on their very first day at school. Amos's parents had brought David in their car. From there, they started their friendship and this blosomed soon after. They were very inimate when they were in the Junior secondary school. They did things together in the hostel and shared the same desk and chair in the school. Things, however, started changing after their Junior Secondary School Certificate Examination. They were both promoted to the Senior Secondary School one. After their promotion, David began to exhibit a change in his character and behaviour. His disposition to his studies changed and he started keeping bad companies. He played truant and ran away from classes. David's bad conduct made Amos distance himself from him. He decided to be up and doing in his studies while David misbehaved most of the time and got into trouble with the school authority which made him known by them as a bad guy.
         Amos continued to be well-behaved, industrious and enterprising. He was hardworking, studious and he believed in making hay while the sun shines. At the end of the year, he was promoted to SS 2 while David was promoted on trial because of his poor performance.
        When they were promoted. Amos called David and admonished him on his bad behaviour and advised him to make hay while the sun shines and stop wasting his time. Amos's admonition did not have any effect on David as he proved stubborn and recalcitrant. He became more unruly than ever before.
One day, David and his gang broke into the school poultry to steal eggs and fowls and they were caught. The second day, they were called out on the assembly ground and their offence was announced to the whole school. They were flogged openly and suspended for two terms.
        When David was suspended, he refused to let his parents knew about his misdemeanour. He went to hide in one of his friend's house and while on suspension, he always sneaked into the school to cause one
