The Welder, the Bully and The Prince.
By Rev Olu Martins
Once upon a time the only daughter of a certain king began to be concerned about settling down in life. She began to.get worried about raising children so the father sent out notice to all the eligible young men in the village to send in their resume and their vision for the future so he could from the list of suitors choose a husband for his only daughter.
The first resume he received was from the welder. Apart from his funny dentition, his English didn’t also seem to add up. His vision for the future was to restoil everything around him. When asked what restoil meant he couldn’t answer. All attempts to get him to expatiate further his dream for the future met with greater disaster. At last the welder cried out ” let me go and call my father” a request to which the King declined saying “it is you that wants to marry not your Father ”
That was how the welder lost his bid to be betrothed to the rich man’s daughter for his inability to speak coherently through his fractured tooth. Perhaps he thought that with carbide and welding rod he could permanently weld himself to the beautiful damsel not knowing that true marriage engagement starts from the heart first and not by force
Now that Mr Welder has been rejected perhaps it may be the turn of the bully. Will he succeed. Watch out for details tomorrow.
NB
I hope we all know who the welder with a fractures is?
