ALAKE THE SACHET WATER SELLER
Giving birth to many children has its advantages. However, parents should plan to educate and care for their children to ensure a brighter future for them.
An untrained child may bring misfortune upon the parents or the entire household. Morolagbe and Alao can hardly care for their seven children when their
eighth child was born. As a result of financial difficulties they resulted into giving out their children as house help to different families. Alake’s case was no exception.
She was forced into a family who cared little about her education.
What became of Alake? Did her parents ever become responsible for her?

Jasmine- Won’t Give Up Honesty
I ran into my teacher while walking to school the next day. She had quite a few folders and bags in her hands. She had difficulty carrying them. ¨Could you help me, Jasmine?” she asked. I obliged willingly and took a few folders from her. I felt cheerful helping out my teacher. I started hopping towards the teacher’s room. As I was hopping right, left and backwards, I ran into a student. All the folders in my arms dropped on the floor. The girl crouched down, gathering all the papers while apologizing. It was I who should have apologized. ¨I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking,” I said. She was very nice, told me it was not a problem and continued on her way.

jasmine – I caught you (Friendship)
Did you ever stop talking with a friend? I have. It is not nice. Don’t stop being friends… It’s worse than eating hot pepper… It’s a good thing that you can stop being angry and continue being friends. This feels like eating strawberry ice cream. Or cycling downhill.

Jasmine- Checkmate (Justice)
I am running on a chessboard. Sometimes on a horse, sometimes as a pawn. Then I stop. I think. I stare into the eyes of my rival. Are they going to attack or are they going to defend their position. I try to understand. When I find the correct move I go forward. And…

Jasmine- Snowball (Responsibility)
I couldn’t touch cats. I was even scared of walking past them. I was scared they would scratch me. I am not scared anymore. Wherever I see a cat I want to kiss it’s pink nose. I think I should explain what happened.
