The obedient boy
In a muslim community in kumasi _Ashanti Region,in the West African county ,Ghana ,lived a boy called Baba,
He was a class one pupil in a public school in the suburbs,he lived with his mother Hajia Lami.
Baba loved to help the elderly in the mosque,he was liked by Alhaji Musa ,who shared his alms with Baba.
During the Eid ul fitre festival ,Baba asked Alhaji Musa what gift he will like on the festive day ,he told Baba he will like a savings box .
So on that fateful day ,Baba took the savings box to his new and elderly friend ,
Alhaji Musa was very grateful,he thanked Baba ,but he in turn gave it to Baba ,and told him to keep the box ,and he should save all the coins he gets from his odd jobs in the mosque ,and help his mother with his schooling and domestic bills.
Baba saved very well ,and helped his mother with the utilities.

Money saving 'susu'as is called.in the local parlance,is a good practice and most children practice it to help them with their school requirements.
