He went with his relative and neighbors to bury his parents, they buried them at their home. After the burial, the boy was taken in by his uncle who was father of two children a boy and a girl and one wife.
His uncle took all the properties of his parents. His uncle’s wife started mistreating the boy badly, she would force the boy to do almost all house chores like washing clothes, cleaning house and even cooking.
When the boy complained to her the pain he was feeling on the leg and had to seek doctor’s advice, the uncle turned him away saying he didnot have money.
One day, he was told to go fetch water, he met a Good Samaritan on his way to the river. The man greeted him and asked him what was ailing him, tears started rolling down his cheeks, and the good samaritan decided to inquire more. The boy opened upto him and told him from A to Z the pain and suffering he had been going through.
The good samaritan accepted to take him to hospital and provide him with accomodation too. The boy is okay healthwise and continuing with his education. If it were you, what would you do?
