Favour in disguise

500 Words
The swaying trees sound dancing to wind song conjoin with the melody of the singing birds and the cryptical noise paving it way out of the green overtook the sky by wings and four legged to create awareness of a new born morning and also to out show their heart full of thanks to the supreme being for the grace of a new born day. The Sun has started working already, beaming it hotness on all being. The raying sun was blindfolded by activities, it ray unwittingly entered Jones's half closed window and shone directly on his eyes on the flat mattress like plywood he lay drunkenly. He opened his eyes and closed again, he opened again and started blinking like a toad in a sand heap. "Oh my gush!!! What have I done to myself? oh my gush!! It's 10 already" He jumped up and switched his attire to a tattered black jean trouser with a black hood on him and ran out quickly to meet his peers. "Why are we still waiting for him? We need to move before time turn it back on us, Justin" said James. "How could we move without Jones? Summon your senses back home dude. Oh the money bag dude! it's with Jones! So tell me how we move with no him" said Justin anxiously. " Oh my gush!" said James walking up and down and knocking his head. "Oh! here he is" Pointing at Jones's direction.. Jones was challenged by James for showing behind scheduled but Jones eventually diverted the blame on him claiming that he added a sleeping pill into the wine he offered him during the feast in the night before. Justin's action halted their hullabaloo as he carried the money bag and headed to their destination. They both communicated with their legs, running towards him and finally settled their differences. James and Justin teased Jones on his so called marriage obsession and both advice to search for a lady bestow with beauty after they arrive from their business trip to prevent unnecessary delay on subsequent trip. "I could hear voices, I mean wailing voices" offered Justin. "I could also hear it" said Jones. "No voices my friends, the only voices you could hear on this path are ghost voices" said James jokingly. They proceeded with the journey. Few minutes later, they met deranged and sad faces along the rough road with the inscription " Beware" They moved closer to them in other to demand the cause of their woe. James apologized to Jones for his rude behaviour after the traders shared their experience and appreciated him for showing behind scheduled, for they would have been an arm robbery victim if not for his lateness. Justin advised that they should quit the journey for another day but James pacify them and suggested that a secure tent should be made at the bank of a nearby river named Jolem so that they could take shelter and pass the night at the river bank.
