|---|
There was a man called Oko who lived in a town called Mba. He was a farmer. Mba people were predominantly farmers; thus, large farmlands were very much cherished among the people.
Oko had a small family size made up of his wife, a son, and two daughters. It was a peaceful family. They were close to one another.
As the head of the family, Oko ensured that love existed in his household. He was known for working hard on his farm and honesty.
Indeed, the family was everyone's admiration in Mba. Oko took after his father, Mazi Ozor, who, during his lifetime, was seen by the people of Mab as an upright man.
Oko would always gather his children together to explain to them the need to work hard and live an honest life. "Mazi Ozor, my father, was an honest man in our community. Indeed, his other name was Mr. Integrity. He told us that a good name was better and greater than money. He never wanted anything that would tarnish his image," Oko stated. As he continued admonishing his children his wife Ugochi was nodding in approval.
"Yes, my children. It was this strong sense of family values that inspired me to marry your father.". He is such a well-behaved, good man from a respectable family. Do not disappoint him" she said
"We promise to be good children," said Eze the son as he looked at his sisters,
"Yes", his sisters Mma and Obioma both exclaimed in unison, " we shall behave well".
The children kept up with the good morals they had seen and heard their parents talk about.
Their mother always advises the girls while they help her out in the kitchen. "Mma and Obioma, you are girls. Soon you will grow to be women and marry" She pulled herself together. Mma looked at Obioma and they positioned themselves to listen to their mother. She advised them on how to behave as women.
"You must take your domestic duties seriously; that is how a young woman is judged" You must ensure that your husbands eat their meals on time because that's the way to your husbands eat their meals on time. After all, that's the way to your husband's heart", She concluded. In the end, they thanked their mother and promised to abide by her advice.
The soup was ready, and Ugochi dished out the food while Mma and Obioma served their father. Thereafter they settled for their own.
The family always had a close and family time where their parents imbibed so many words of wisdom and good morals in them. The family were known in the whole village of Mba for their honesty and integrity, which has passed from generation to generation. So where they children also known for good moral.
