You were instructed to get the ailing child some provisions listed out on the list and not some foodstuffs. The nurse said. Are these foodstuffs? Ofego asked, and said, I thought they were provisions o, but they are all the same na, whether foodstuffs or provisions, they are all the same. It's the same work that they will do on the child's body. Ofego said. If you know what's good for you return these things and go get him the provisions for you not to be charged to court for murder. The nurse adviced. Charge to court for murder? Ofego asked. No o. I better return these things and change them to provisions o. I don't want them to charge me in court. I am not an handset. He packed the things into the nylon bag and went out. He walked into the store he bought them from and said; Madam, the person said he doesn't like them. Take your things, I don't want to buy again. The woman who is the storekeeper got up and said; After you people have opened it and ate a little, I am not taking it. Madam it is not my fault, the person I bought them for doesn't like them. Ofego explained. How come he did not like them. Did he not test them before saying he did not like them. Go away! I am not taking them. The woman said. Why are you not taking them? Ofego asked. The woman retorted; Don't you know how to read? Look at that thing. She said pointing at a written message on the wall of the store. Ofego read it; You Can Refund Anything You Bought Here, But Your Money Will Not Be Refunded. Ofego asked after reading; Madam is that your store policy? Yes customer. She replied. Ofego paused and thought; Chai, this woman is wicked. Why did I come here to buy these things in the first place? I would have gone to a more civilised store. Now see what I have brought upon myself. She doesn't want to take them. Even if she takes them, my money will not be refunded. How will I buy these provisions for that foolish boy Onos now. I only have 500 Naira left with me. And it will not be enough. Uhmmmm.... Yes! I have an idea. Ofego decided and walked out of the store. Next, Episode Twenty.
