EPISODE 1
This is a story about two countries, which they hates each other with passion, even to the extend of passing this hatred to their children, in which this hatred was started by their great gran gran fathers **I tink you understand what I mean**
The cause of there hateness for each other is **I don’t know cause am not alive then, when it all started or do you think I will know, when am not 10,000 years old demon..lol**
Buh what I knw is that am the cause of the peace between both countries.
Oh I almost forgot introducing myself,
My name is grace, am a girl of 5 years old **when it all happened, that’s to be specific** I was mute, asin am not able to talk buh I can hear soundly, that was how I was born, nature I guess, am only the daughter of my family, we live in a place far from the city even far from d village too**a place only mi can describe, and you can even guess it your self** we are one happy family, though pretending to be I guess, because we live out of the fear of poverty, asin we farm, so we didn’t see any need of money** though my mother is rich** buh she elope with my father due to their thing called *love*, which i call it act of foolishness, or what can you call it, leaving a good wealthy place to live with somebody in a place far away from every body in the name of *love* I don’t believe in love cause I think was born out of it, cursing the nature for bringing me into this life of my parent **the worst part unable to talk, *mute* **
Buh have already accepted my destiny, and always have it in mind that am destine for something greater, than living in a insignificant place or so I think.
My father is a farmer and a shepherd, my mother always stay at home doing the wife material things. The place we re living is a big farm land, buh a slippy one, which made my dad gave us **me an my mum** a strictly warning not going past some marked area mark by him, though he always go past there because of the Shepherd of a thing, telling both me and my mum that it for our own good, which we both accept without more argument, thinking he knows what best for us, beside he was the one living there alone before, he and my mum got elope and got married **as they both always tell me** which I think is *foolishness*
One faithful day, my dad already went out, to where is known only by him and when he goes like that, he always come back with some food materials, and always came back late at night, which my mum always at home doing what she always does *wife material things*, that the main reason I said I don’t believe in *love* because they don’t have time for me **which I didn’t care, cause to me that how life is** so I was always playing alone with my **motor tire** rolling is up an down with a stick.
So that day, I was playing as usual with the tire and the stick together, to the extend that i was so carried away by it, without knowing when I pass the marked area **no go area** by my dad, the tire was now rolling with full speed which make me like the way it’s rolling**the speed** when I was not able to cash the tire, due to it speed, I now throw away the stick am using to drive it, to run after the tire which is nw rolling wit full speed, which it didn’t occur to me that it because of d slippy area that’s why the speed of the tire increases, I was busy running after d tire after dropping d stick I was using to drive it before, until I miss calculated my legs due to my speed, which lead me rolling along with the tire, though the tire was in the front, not knowing were i was rolling to, which I instantly know when the tire took off and fall down the clift, hearing the sound of tire falling down the clift into the big river below, **so I tink** buh only God knows were it fall, buh only the sound of it falling make me so frighten and afraid, which made me shouting help! help!! help!!! at d top of my voice **though its in my mind because am *mute* ** I was rolling with full speed which lead me in falling off the clift too.

**back home to the present day**
My father came back home as usual with his food stuff, which he was puzzle when he saw my mother sitting outside, cause he knew he never saw her waiting for him before.
Dad: good evening dear

After sam told his wife his intention of taking me home himself, he then bid her goodbye then walk up to me and carry me on his back aiming to take me back to our country himself.
He knew to take a bus to cross the border will be economical due to lack of money for visa, on our way finding a bus that will able to take me back home, we saw a bus on the road going our direction, and the driver question sam
Driver: hey! stop there, who are you?
Sam: who are you? **confused by the question**
Driver: this is my area
Sam: so when did i say this my own area?
Driver: Owk, are you trying to cross the border?
Sam: yes
Driver: it will cost you #25,000 in cash, if you have the cash then come along, otherwise get lost.
Sam got angry by the drivers statement and said we should be going
Driver: ** on seeing this** he said, the border’s got electric fences all around, 440 volts if touched, it reduces anyone to ashes.
Sam still didn’t listen to him, and we continue walking
Driver: hey! Listen…look here!!!
**Sam turn back** and said what again
Driver: you still don’t get it, if you go that way **pointing our direction** the *BSF* will spot you, they will shoot you on first sight and then asked your ghost whether you are from here or there?
Sam still didn’t listen and took my hand for us to continue going and the driver shouted again
Driver: listen! It’s not easy to cross the border, I have connections on both sides, come on get in the bus, it’s for the best interest of the kid **pointing at me** it will only cost you #50,000
Sam: **surprised** but you said #25,000
Driver: yea, #25,000 for one person
Sam: why will grace pay? she’s going home
Driver: **surprised** going home, how come?
Sam then explain everything that happen to him from the very first day he saw me
Driver: hmmm, I knew from the moment I saw you, that you are a very righteous man
He then agree to take both me and sam for #25,000
In no time we are in front of the border
Driver: **talking in a silent mode** listen.. on the other side of the fence are the army, they takes rounds in every 10 minutes, there are four tunnels under the fences, we will have to crawl thorough the tunnel within 10 minutes and get on the other side, and *wholaa* welcome to your country!
We all did as he said and we got on the other side which is my country
Driver: come quickly, let’s go
sam: I will go only after i take permission
Driver: ** on hearing what sam just said he turn back to sam** what? What did you just say will you take?
Sam: I will take permission from the army after that I will now go into the country
