Short story




The times of my life which I'll never forget was my pre teen years, had so much fun growing up in a family of adults..there's this story I'll never forget, it happened when i was in junior secondary school, this school is somewhere in an Edo village and i was a boarding student. Had so much fun there that it was so sad i had to leave at the end of Junior secondary. This event happened in that school and in the set before me.
Its a short story, it happened so long ago and shows the imaginative mind of a pre teen............
The girl called B in this story does not refer to me.

This story is about an Integrated Science Teacher, Mr. M and a j.s 3 class.
Mr. M wrote the topic for that day on the board and asked,
'who can read the topic on the board?'
as usual, eager students ready to learn shoot their hands up, with cries of
'uncle i! uncle I'
'OK you, Joy read' Mr. M pointed,
Joy standing up joyfully read the phrase 'SIMPLE WINCH'
'who can tell me the meaning of a simple winch' Mr. M. shot back at the class smiling.
The class of eager and noisy girls became quiet.......smiling Mr. M. walked back and forth examining their faces and waiting for the person willing to make an attempt....then a hand shot up, he was surprised and taken aback, 'OK B, what is a simple winch?'

B stood up, with a mischievious grin, 'sir a simple winch is a witch that has not started flying' .


the class erupted in laughter as Mr. M. quietly packed his books and walked out of the class almost dying of laughter!!
