THE VILLAGE PEOPLE

The used to respect all the people in the community punishment were given by all the mature people in the community.

During that time they used to play with all the kids in the community but our grand mother was too strict she used to say I don't want company at my home"redundant kids"so she could not allow children from other homes to come and play with us she was too strict and by the it is helping me in life I don't entertain every body I meet.

I remember we used to collect firewood from the forest and that forest was near a swamp and we could swim and it was one day when when a certain man came and warned us,we could hide in collecting fire wood yet we were just swimming when the grand mother discovered it she was so upset with us.

Water was collected from the community well 1kilometre from home and we used to delay and used to annoy our grand mother sometimes she could Cain us and sometimes counsel.

Digging was compulsory at home if you don't dig no food, remember those days we had lost our parents and the only person we had was our grand mother and we could dig at the covent to get food.
