A certain little boy was on his way to school, when he saw a group of persons with half legs, hands, mouths and body. Some were walking with the support of stick, some were crawling and others were creeping.
The boy became scared and he ran back home to his mother shaking with fear. He told his mother that he saw some abnormal humans from different planet invading our planet.
The mother quickly followed him down to see them.
On seeing them, the mother exclaimed, "Oh, my son! Today is leprosy day and it coincides with the army remembrance day. So, my son; those people you see there are lepers and wounded ex service men".
And the boy said, "who inflicted these injuries on them, mummy?"
And the mother answered him thus: The lepers were injured by diseases while the service men were injured by bullets.
"Mummy, in other words, joining the army and going to war is equivalent to suffering from leprosy. I have the ambition to join the army after my schooling but from what I have just seen now has scared me because l don't want to become a leprosy patient since no different between them", said the boy.
