In the small village of akata, there lived a farmer named Jack. He had a small farm where he grew crops and raised animals. He was an hardworking farmer but he was too pride of himself.Everyone in the village knew about him.Despite his hard work and dedication, he was never satisfied with what he had. He constantly complained about the weather, the soil,the produce he gets and the prices of his produce.
One day, a severe storm hit the village, causing widespread damage. Many of the houses and farms were destroyed, leaving the villagers homeless and without food.The villagers had nothing to eat nor shelter,but Jack's farm, however, was left unscathed. The villagers came to him, asking for help and food.
His farmland was lucky since nothing happened to his crops and animals,he started laughing at the villagers saying that ghe ancestors were punishing them.The villagers pleaded with him to help them with the little food he had to help sustain their families.
But instead of showing compassion and sharing his abundance, Jack refused to give them anything. He said that the storm was a punishment for their sins and that they deserved to suffer. The villagers were shocked and saddened by his ungrateful attitude.
Word of Jack's selfishness spread quickly throughout the village, and soon no one wanted to have anything to do with him.The villagers were vert angry with him and prayed to God for their rescue.One day a strange disease came to the village again,to be surprised the villagers crops abd animals were not affected.
Jacks crops withered and his animals died, and he was left alone on his farm. He realized too late the error of his ways and begged for forgiveness, but it was too late. The villagers had already moved on, leaving Jack to live the rest of his days in poverty and isolation, a bitter reminder of the consequences of an ungrateful heart.
