AN AFRICAN NATURAL STORY. It is safer for a man to combat a battalion of soldiers than to incur the wrath of a woman!

Once upon a time in a village lived a very pretty looking lady who was married to a poor labourer. The labourer had a bicycle. In the same village lived a very rich man who was a chronic womanizer with seven wives.

This womanizer troubled this pretty looking wife of the labourer daily pressuring her to divorce her husband and marry him. He promised to make her comfortable with all good things of life.

But she told him that she will rather live and die with her poor husband than for her to go and compete with multitude of co-wives.

One day, there was a burial ceremony of a certain prominent man in a neighbouring community. Many people went to attend the burial ceremony from all the surrounding villages. This pretty looking lady also went with her husband on their bicycle. The rich womanizer was not left out.

In the evening when the burial ceremony was over, the people began to return to their homes. It was raining heavily 

The labour carried his wife on the bicycle and they began to ride home under the torrential rain.

The rich womanizer was also cruising home in one of his SUVs.

When he saw the labour with his wife riding on the bicycle in front of him, he smiles as he over took the bicycle and stopped in their front. He came down and said to the man, "Mr man, don't continue to waste this woman's beauty for nothing sake. She is not meant for you but for people like me".

And the woman said, "Oga, please l beg you, leave us alone in our poverty state. Are we begging you for money to feed? God is feeding us. Stop embarrassing my husband and l".

And he said to the woman, " So you too has inherited a stubborn and a stone heart. You this suffer head fool should come and marry me and enjoy but you are telling your ill fated destiny that you choose to suffer with this wretched lazy idiot. In poverty you shall die in ". And he spat into the air and drove away.

The woman became very angry and so the next morning she went to the womanizer's house boiling with anger.

When he saw her walking down to his house furiously, he came out to meet her hoping to hear something good from her.

She packed some dust from the ground raised it up and said, "l swear by the dust, you shall become poorer than my husband and you shall beg people to give you job to do to enable you to feed. You shall have a very hard life". 

And she spat on the air and left.

And the man mocked at her saying, " Fool, l thought you were here to embrace me and accept my proposal not knowing you came for empty talks. Your curse can't even hurt a fly. One day, l will force you to sleep with me. Idiot ".

Three years later, the man became very poor as all his cars spoilt and he sold them off after scrapping them. His industries folded up. His riches vanished! 

It became difficult for him to eat as all his wives and children left. Instead of him starving to death, he joined a group of labourers who build houses and clear refuses.
