JOHN: Darling, please go and greet our landlord's aged mother. She came yesterday in the evening. She is about 78 years old.
WHEN ALCOHOL HAS BEGUN ITS WONDERFUL WORKS.
JOHN: Darling, l will soon marry another fine young girl join you O. I just left landlord's house now. One of his daughters came. Very fine young girl of about 19 years of age, if l am not mistaken. I told her that l love her and she said 'no problem'. I was so happy with her because at her age, she talks maturely.
Because of the love l have for her and the way she talks, l gave her N10000. Ten thousand naira. You know that before you will woo a woman properly, you will first buy bread, biscuits and chewing gum for her. That is, you will first make the ground soft for her to accept you, hence the money l gave her.
WIFE: John, you have killed me again! No garri and soup at home and you went and gave an ancestor, ten thousand naira. Ogogogo at work! That woman whom you gave the money to, is landlord's aged mother. I saw both of you in their sitting room talking. No other person in that house but only herself. Alcohol, l clap for you.
My husband, no food and soup at home and we have not bought the children exercise books! Ah! Alcohol has done it again O.
JOHN: But Darling, she looks young in my eyes like a sweet sixteen.
WIFE: That is the work of alcohol. It changes shapes, sizes and colours of objects and complexion.
My God! Three days food for my family has just gone into the oblivion!
