LOVE AND EDUCATION
Chapter 1

Like all stories, this one comes a bit different, but its start goes along as normal. It all started in Kono District(someplace in Sierra Leone) when Mama Esther and Papa Emmanuel got married and gave birth to seven kids. They all didn't come at once, but that was too much of a burden on the kids and their parents. One will think that when we go with the word 'gave birth' it means Mama Esther bore all the kids from her womb. She did mentally but physically she didn't, but took care of them all as though they were all from her wom. There was not a day people will go about assuming that Mama Esther was not the actual mother of all the seven kids. The kids all grew together in harmony; although, there were days that brought bitter arguments amongst them, but, things will always get back to normal before the sun fades off. Sometimes the issues fall on Mama Esther's feet and it is only when Papa Emmanuel intervenes that these issues got solved. Papa Emmanuel will considerably tell Mama Esther to allow the kids to settle issues by themselves, as this is one of the ways that coerciveness will exist amongst them.

Kido David was born a year after Sammy; who was not only the calmest but also the most handsome and intelligent and goal-oriented guy amongst the seven. Kido David was so restless that he couldn't stay an hour at a spot. He prefers to go all over the compound causing trouble here and there, playing all sorts of games for which he always wanted Sammy to be involved. Kido David wasn't much of the focus type, and always finds it difficult to get a single task accomplished, nor can he get something creative done. He never gets to the end of anything. Kido David loves the shout of his name, as Papa Emmanuel will be calling out loud for him to show up and get the work assigned to him finished.
