Jealousy pierces his father’s buttock
2 min readBy David Aoloch Bion
People used to come and stay at rich man’s byre
One day he heaped his cow dung on hearth
Set it on fire
The dung burned whitest ashes
People used to come every day and sit on the ash
he felt jealous and said to himself
‘’I don’t want anyone to sit on my white
Precious ashes, I will use it to groom
My cattle in the evening’’
he brought a needle
Planted it upright in ashes
Where people used to sit
So it pierced the buttock or anus
Of anyone who will come
And sit there
And he left for forest to graze his cattle
That day no one came to his byre
When he came back in evening
He forget the needle
And he sat on the ash
The needle pierced his anus
Thus ‘’ jealousy pierced his
Father buttock or anus’’
