THE TREES OF MY SCHOOL

Back in our days in the University (Obafemi Awolowo University), you could get to walk from the hostel to your classrooms under the shade of trees that protect you from sunlight most of the way.

COOKIES IN THE PACK

Danielle climbed the chair and kept pointing to the pack of cookies. I picked up the cookies so I could give her. Unfortunately, the pack was difficult to untie. The knot was difficult to loosen. I kept trying. She got impatient and began to throw tantrums while attempting to grab the cookies herself. In the process, she hit her hand […]
