quarreling and arguing, when all of a sudden they heard
a female voice behind them calling akpani!
They all turned, to their greatest surprise it was
Akpani’s wife standing holding a plate of food on her
hand.
Akpani: uju what are u doing in this deadly forest (he
said with a surprise look on his face)
