THE QUESTION THAT CANNOT BE ANSWERED!

It was about 2:00am when Junior, a nine years old boy cried out loudly for help. All the neighbours who heard the cry woke up immediately and ran down to see what was happening and possibly to give him a help if necessary.

On getting to their house, it was his father who was beating him. When they asked him his reason for beating the little boy at that ungodly time of the night, he said that he refused to sleep.

They told him that it is never an offence for someone to stay awake.

The father told them that openly it was never an offence but secretly it was a great offence. He further told them that the most annoying part of it all was that he would close his eyes and pretended to be sleeping only for him to open his eyes in a few minutes time.

The neighbours told him that he was  infringing on the boy's rights to play and they all backed the boy that should he beat him again, they won't hesitate to report him the next morning to the appropriate authority.

He still insisted that he demanded for his unconditional sleep. Then a woman asked him his major reason for forcing the boy to sleep. He said that he cannot answer the question because as a woman, she should know better.

As they left, he shouted to them saying, "go away, busy body intruders! You people are all enemies of population growth.

  The first time, l was almost taking off my pant when he suddenly opened his eyes and in a jiffy, l pulled it up. The last one, his mother was almost taking off her wrapper when the stupid boy suddenly opened his eyes again and in a jiffy his mother puts on her pant in an upside position.

Stupid people, do you people even know why he is an albino? It was because his elder brother always refused to sleep at night. Since we live in a room apartment, his mother and I have to rescheduled our sleeping time table to day time when he has gone to school. But this system ended up in giving birth to an albino.

Foolish boy, he doesn't know that this same attitude of his elder brother led to his albino colour and now he wants us to give birth to another albino like himself, but l say no way! He must sleep by force".
