A Stitch in Time Saves Nine


A legend was told of a local hero Obi. Obi was fond of wondering and constant visit to the village bakery with friends.

On evening, while he was wondering with friends around the bakery, he saw a little spark of electricity coming from a spot of connected wires in the bakery. He looked attentively and found the cause of the spark. Obi been intelligent became alarmed. He thought that the spark could eventually turn into a fire and burn down the bakery if not controlled.

To stop the spark he needed grown men and there was none around so he told his friends go into the village and call for help.

Seeing no response from he’s friends, he decided to do the little he could. He got a long wooden stick and was trying to disconnect the wires. The job was demanding as he was at it till far into the night. Obi’s parent noticed their son had not returned from this outing to the village bakery went out in search for him.

They brought Obi back to the city with great celebration as he had helped the city in tackling the danger.
