Thompson and Johnson were both children of about fifteen years of age. They wore a white vest with a blue top on it and their head was a black hat. They stood under a big tree by the riverside of Kilburn village to catch fish.

On Thompson's hand was a fishing rod with a string tied onto it. "How happy will I be if the fish rod catches a lot of fishes today," said Johnson. When Thompson heard what he said, he smiled and told him to set his fishing rod too for them to catch many fishes and immediately Johnson set his fish rod into the river.

They both stood for hours under the big tree by the riverside and later were able to catch four big fish and seven small fish. Thompson carried on his head a big bowl in it are the four big fishes while Johnson holds in his hand a small bucket with the seven small fishes in it and they walked to the market to sell their fishes.
They were both very happy after they've sold their fish. "If I add this money to the money in my save my bicycle money will complete," said Johnson. Likewise, I too replied Thompson. On the second day, they both went and bought two new bicycles.

They thought of nothing but riding from morning to night ever since they bought their bicycles. A priest of the Baptist church in their village called bishop paul felt bad the day he saw Them riding recklessly instead of being in school or a workshop or doing something better. Bishop paul came out of the hut where he usually seat when having his silent hour or reading the bible and called on them but only Johnson responded to his call while Thompson was still riding.

Johnson called on Thompson the second time that the bishop is calling them but instead of Thompson responding to the call he sent Johnson to the bishop that he's still busy riding his bicycle. The bishop was astonished when he heard what Thompson said as a reply to him. The bishop then walked to Thompson with a cane in his hand which hit him. "Thompson, don't you have respect for an elder?

Immediately Thompson jumped down from the bicycle and pleaded the bishop should forgive him because he thought Johnson was only joking. The bishop ordered Thompson to follow him and never to disrespect elders again.

In the hut, the bishop sat on a chair while Thompson and Johnson sat on a long bench. The bishop questioned them about the reason they were not going to school or workshop like other children. Both of them were silent for minutes thinking of what to say as a reply to the question asked by the bishop. With annoyance, the bishop reacted to their long silence. "Why the silence? I need the two of you to reply to me now." The Thompson sluggishly talked to the bishop. He explained they are orphans and there is no one to train or send them to school. He told them being an orphan doesn't stop them from seeking a job to do if they can't go to school. There was an awkward silence when they heard what the bishop said. He told them to think about it very well before it's too late. People have given you the names of different types. He told them to let him know the outcome of what they think or suggest. After their discussion with the bishop, they went to park their bicycles at home, pick up their fish rods, and left to the riverside.

Thompson who has been feeling sad after their talk with the bishop said to Johnson while at the riverside that he is tired of staying in the village. "But we have no one to assist us or where do you think we can go to again? Asked Johnson." Thompson told him they can find a way to get to the city. Johnson knew they are not educated. He said to Thompson the city is met for educated people not illiterates like them. I am very sure we will make it in the city Thompson told him with boldness.

Johnson later agreed with the opinion of Thompson about going to the city with him. He told him he has no money in his save box he can use for transportation. With a soft smile, Thompson told him he has no money in the save box too but believes in getting the money for transportation before the next day evening if only...
