The story my mother told me - Undiluted Gist

This was a true life story my mother told me. A story of man who was said to be a member of a secret court in which his duties was to supplied human part when being demanded. 

His is highly recommended in the court and have killed so many. He has two sons and one daughter. He recommended one if his son as a replacement {I.e someone to be used for exchange of his life when the time comes.} He signs the replacement agreement in the court when the child was very little. When the child grown up he became the most successful child among the rest children. The child gives the father money anytime the father is in need of it or when he demands for it. 

The rest child were not as successful as he is and weren't able to meet the father need. The father regreted his decision of using his lovely son as a replacement. He will not have used the child if he had know how important the child will be in the future. 

Nevertheless for the love he so much has for the child he went back to the court to terminate the agreement. Instead of using his son he place for  his own head. He then became very happy and proud to die when the time comes.  Some month later he went to visit his friend coming back, he saw crowd gathering at his compound. In the crowd of the people some were crying and some were mourning. As he saw people crying endlessly he was not in himself, his head became so big for his neck to carry.

Still trying to find out what is happening he's other son came to meet him and told him that his favorite's son (the bread winner) is dead. Hearing the news he was shocked and asks what could be the cause of his death? In reply he was told that he slept but didn't wake up. Was he ill before he falls asleep? He asks. No he was healthy in reply. He keep wondering in his mind (they killed my son after I decided to use my own self? No it can’t be) he vows to find out what could be the cause of his son death.

He went on to carry out a search. He visited a native doctor to find out the cause of the death of his son. The native doctor narrate his story of how he join secret court, how many he had killed and how he used his son as a life replacement. The man became astonished. Hearing his own story from the native doctor without being told made him to believe in him.

The native doctor went further and said that it was his sister and one of his children who are responsible for the death for his favorite son. They killed him because they feel jealous of his prosperity's and wish him not to provide for his you (the father) the witch doctor concluded concluded. He shared tears as he held it's from the witch doctor. He told the native doctor that he wishes a revenged.

The witch doctor told him that revenged can lead to the death of his sister and his other child still yet the man insisted. To carry out the revenged the witch doctor asked the man to buy a coffin and the man did. The witch doctor does the work and some week later both his sister and his other son of the man was reported death. After one year the man dies surviving by one daughter. What a world.
