TOJO the jungle LORD
(Lord of the jungle)
Episode 3
“search for my twin brother” l asked with confusion.
“Yes! search for your twin brother” my father replied.
“how and where do l start? what is the possibility of him still being alive? l questioned my father.
“the answer to your first question is you will start from the jungle here and as for how you know how” my father replied.
“inaddition to your second question, the possibility of him still living is very high” he added.
“l wasn’t expecting any these questions from you, the only thing l thought it’s necessary for you to ask, was if you both were identical twins but all you asked of your twin brother are pessimist questions” my mother fired at me.
“can’t you just be optimist for once” she added.
“l am sorry ma’am” l appologized.
“No quams” she replied.
“ok am can l go with some animals” l asked.
“No you can’t” my father replied.
“ok one more last question ‘are we ldentical twins” l asked.
“Yes you are” my mother replied.
I was very excited l would be moving out of the jungle for the first time
and at the same time heartbroken because l aint going with any of my friend and would also be missing my parents but l had no option.
Another joyous thing was l was going to meet my siblings who were taken from the jungle to live with my uncle (the ex palace guard who had saved my father years ago).
I went to the animals and broke down the goodnews to them but the goodnews seems so dissappointing like a bad news to them. l pleaded with them and promised to return immediately l found him, yet they weren’t convienced.
“Y’ all shouldn’t worry l promised to be back” l pledged.
It morning already and my search starts today, All my animals friend came and join me in the search since l will be starting from the jungle before moving out of the jungle. We searched everywhere in the jungle for almost 5hours to no avail, which eventually means l would be moving out of the jungle for further search.
they all hugged and bid me goodbye, my monkey friend was even crying which made my eyes tearyand at the same time heartbroken because l aint going with any of my friend and would also be missing my parents but l had no option.
“Goodbye l love you all” l said to them waving.
I journeyed for about 2hours before l got to my uncle house, on arriving there both my siblings and my cousins all ran and hugged me tight, thanks to my strong and galant body, l would have fallen.
My uncle was surprised on seeing me at his place because my father had refused me out of the jungle when my uncle had came for my siblings years ago.
l was sincerely welcomed and entertained my cousin and sibling told me alot of life happenings and stories, am sure you are intrested in hearing the story but am not going to tell you.
It was already late at night when my uncle summond my presence and asked why l had left the jungle. I told everything and he aided me with one of his horse to make my journey stress free.
Early the next morning l left and bid my families goodbye and vice versa though l didnt actually to leave but.
I journeyed toward the nearby village when l came across a bevy of ladies.
“hello, sorry have you seen me here before” l asked.
with the stares and look on their face l neither need a therapist nor a psychologist to tell me the thought on their mind which was either am mad or am insane.
“sorry asking that way, l don’t actually know how to ask” l clarified
“please am a stranger here and am looking for my identical twin brother who got missing years ago” l explained.
“we are actually sorry, we were confused why a man still breathing and standing strong would be asking if he had been here or seen before, never the less haven’t seen your suppose twin brother before and we hope you find him.” one of the ladies said with apology.
“Incase you come across anybody or people again just go to the point, ask questions like am looking for my twin brother, have you seen anyone who looks like me in this vicinity” another lady instructed.
“Thank you all” l appreciate them and continue my journey.
After searching, asking and journeying for almost a week l came across a very beautiful jungle called zoo.
“wow! what a beautiful jungle” l exclaimed.
I walked toward the entrance of the jungle about entering when a man stopped me.
“hello excuse me” he said
“hi good day sir” l greeted
“good day” he replied
“sorry sir am looking for my missing brother, and if you don’t mind let me go search around this jungle please” l pleaded for permission.
“first this is not a jungle, this a zoo, and secondly l am sorry you can’t enter without paying fee” he replied.
“ok so like how much is the fee?”. I enquired.
“gate entrance fee is 2k” he replied.
“2k to just check for something, aba that’s too ‘chokomi'” l said bluntly.
“You know what? let me pity you with 1k ‘abekinyown'” l added
“are you kidding me? pity me with 1k as how?” he questioned.
if you don’t have 2k you ain’t entering” he fired at me.
“it’s okay am not entering again you can have your zoo jungle to yourself” l fired back at him.
I was about leaving when my eye spotted a tree in the zoo with a portrayed branch outside.
“Wow l have found a free entrance” I thought to myself.I stylishly climbed the tree and jumped inside their so called zoo. Immediately l landed inside the zoo, a very giant man like that of kizz daniel bouncer grabbed and jack me up (the TOJO of all people) like a weightless feather.
“Please sir drop me am not a thief am just looking for my brother sir please” l pleaded continuosly on his shoulder.
