An encounter with a lady in the bus.

By Ogunsona Peter.

Beautiful is just an understatement, she's tall and yellow skinned. She wore a blue Jean trouser with a pink, stripe t-shirt which makes her more adorable and good looking.

We were in a 18-seater bus which was conveying us back to Lagos. Suddenly, this lady stole the show by giving a zinger (abuse) at this young mother with two children. One should be about four years if am not guessing wrong and the other two years.

She bellowed, "don't let the legs of your baby touch me again" pushing aside the laps of the baby. I can see the expression on her face and feel the grumbling in her.

These children were properly dressed, looks prim and quite neat as a pin. Me personally, I hate it when a child is squalid and the mother might be hoping that I will carry her baby. I might not.

In as much that we don't know what the lady is passing through, emotional trauma? Depression? Family issues? Relationship issues? Nobody knows.

But, being beautiful or handsome is not the main thing, beauty will fade likewise handsomeness. If the skin or beauty you think is so special to you has an accident (mark), especially on the face, what you going to do? We've seen lots of handsome, charming guys and ladies being poured acid on or lost their beauty in a place or other.

Let's just know that fame is vapor, popularity an accident, and riches takes wing. Only one thing endures and that is CHARACTER.
