BATTLE FOR LAND- Part1
NARRATION; The Chief and the cabinet members of Agotime are sited at a meeting, discussing about a piece of land between the Agotime town and the Donkokrom township.

OKYEAME; Agoo , Agoo, Agoo......! Greetings from Togbe to you all. Our people say,"Wonya tse wo ga bia na" so I shall give the platform to Togbe to brief us on the reason for which we all are gathered here.

TOGBE AFIDEMENYO; Okyeame!

OKYEAME; Agooe!!

TOGBE AFIDEMENYO; Here it to my cabinet members that, " When a monkey become so over confidence, the next tree becomes so far for it to land." We are gathered here this Afternoon to discuss the land "Avegasco." I received a report some days back that, the people of Donkokrom are now taking Over!

ELDER ATIPOE; What?! Abomination!!

OKYEAME; My elders, have you heard the information?

ALL ELDERS; Yes ooo..

ELDER TSATSU; Togbe, I personally don't think we can sit back and watch them take the only property (piece of land) our forefathers left for us.

TOGBE AFIDEMENYO; So what do you suggest we do?

ELDER ATIPOE; I suggest we select some delegates and send them to the Chief and people of Donkokrom to warn them to leave the land .

ELDER TSATSU; BHAM! Exactly.

TOGBE AFIDEMENYO; Okyeame, kindly hear to my cabinet that, if that's the case we shall send some delegates to Nana Ofori to warn his people to vacate the land immediately else, there will be war!

OKYEAME; My elders, have you heard?

ALL ELDERS; Yes my King.

NARRATION; A message from the King of Agotime was sent to the King of Donkokrom that,some delegates from Agotime will be meeting him and his cabinet members the coming day.
The next day, Nana Ofori and his cabinet members were sited waiting patiently for the arrival of the delegates from Agotime. The delegates were Okyeame Donku and Elder Tsatsu.

DELEGATES FROM AGOTIME; Agoo.. Agoo!

OKYEAME AMPOSAH; Bonsu, check who is at the gate.

BONSU; Your Highness, may you live long.. They are the delegates from Agotime.

DELEGATES; Thanks.

OKYEAME AMPOSAH; Okyeame Donku, Nana Ofori is asking to know what actually brought you to his Kingdom.
