Mr Moses:( proudly). That is the school for the elite, The president's, governor's, senator's, the commissioner's and business moguls children attend that school. That is the school that befits children Of your class.

Matilda:(smiling). My mate admire my clothes, my shoes, my golden wristwatch and the expensive handset you bought for me. Thank you dad for your generosity.

Mr Moses: We give God all the thanks.

Mr Cherry: Our fortune has greatly increased. My husband has a lot of cars, chains of businesses, many houses, we eat good food, wear expensive clothes. I wish Levi and Wilson were not dead. They would have been part of this enjoyment (she begins to sob).

In the bedroom of Mr and Mrs Moses

They are sleeping on a bed, suddenly voices come up (voices of his dead sons)

Voice 1: Confess! Confess! how you cut off my tongue, roast and ate it because of money.

Voice 2: Confess! Confess! how you plucked out my eye balls and swallowed them because of money.

Voice 1 :(together) } Confess! Confess!! Confess!!!

Voice 2:. } (The voices fade away)

Mr Moses: {He wakes up looking depressed and confused, he is the only person who heard the voices}. What is this? It is an horrible experience. I must see Baba first thing tomorrow morning to explain this nightmare to me. This was not part of the bargain . ( He look at his wife). It seems Cherry did not hear the voices or else, I am finished.

Early morning he went to Baba's place.

Mr Moses: Good morning Baba.

Baba: Good morning My son, what brought you to my house this early morning and how have you been enjoying your game, influence, power and wealth?

Mr Moses: Baba, I am enjoying these things you just mentioned. When I slept last night, I heard my dead son's voices telling me to confess how I killed them because of my quest for money. I woke up and I was shaking, thank God that my wife was asleep, she would have suspected something fishy.

Baba:There is no problem, you will have to sacrifice one of your children to Atakata (god's). When the dead spirits resurface,it means that Atakata (god's) needs another life to completely annihilate the dead roving spirits.

Mr Moses: (shocked) But Baba, I have already used my two sons.

Baba:(calmly). I know, but you will never sleep, their spirits will continue to disturb you, unless you appease them with another life.

Mr Moses: Thank you Baba. I will think about it ( He stands up and leaves his house).
