Covetousness

Killed His Wife

Mr Moses: (Shaking and sweating) What do i do?

Baba: Atakata (god's) said that your wife is still alive, it is not supposed to be so. She is their mother and link on earth. Once she is extirpated through diabolical means, the bond between your children and this earth will be cut off forever, then you will have peace.

Mr Moses: Baba, I don't understand you.

Baba; ( bluntly) Kill your wife so that you can have peace.

Mr Moses: Baba, you mean if I kill my wife I won't hear the voices of my dead children again?

Baba: Yes

Mr Moses: will it make me richer?

Baba: Yes

Mr Moses: Then kill her, let her die so that I can live, have more money, take more titles, marry another wife and have peace of mind.

Baba: (mind) Foolish man, you have lost your peace, sleep and happiness to material wealth, the day you killed your two sons.

Mr Moses: (confused) Baba, what did you say?

Baba: (subtly) I mean Atakata (god's) loves you because you are generous. He hates parsimonious person. You have given him four heads because of this, he will give you more money, peace and you shall sleep well when you have given this final one.

Mr Moses: Baba do it now, I am already deep into it. Use my wife. I am at the center of the ocean, I will drown.

Baba: This time my son, you will do it yourself.

Mr Moses:(Scared) How Baba?

Baba: {He brings a bowl of water} when I call your wife's name,her shadow will appear in this water. {He gives Moses a dagger} use this dagger to stab her once.

Mr Moses:(fidgeting) I will Baba.

Baba: What is your wife's name?

Mr Moses: Cherry.

Baba: (chanting) Lalao kaka kobo Kaba nu ka ka ba Cherry! Cherry! Cherry! Atakata (god's) needs you to cut off the bond between this earth and your children who have been haunting his son because he truncated their lives prematurely, thereby killing their lofty dreams on earth.

( He increases the tempo of his voice) Cherry! Cherry! Cherry! Wherever you are now, appear in this bowl of water now. Here she comes.

Mr Moses: (Shivering) But I don't see anything.

Baba: Shut up, don't annoy Atakata (god's), come closer and stab her.

Mr Moses: (He pierced the dagger into the bowl, the water suddenly turns red. He was surprised} what!

Baba: Your wife is gone, she is gone for your good

Mr Moses: Thank you Baba and he left happily.
