Todayâs #ShortReads story reminds me of the adage, âEvery day for the thief, one day for the owner,â even though the thief in this story wasn't as lucky. I think the âownerâ watched too much âMatildaâ as a child, though. ðð¾ Tife Editor In This Letter - 1 [All the ships setting sail in the BBNaija house this season](=.QsPlrY70MNewxndMKAKis1MjFsYRmSAsWvxZzV13fWU)

=.CxX5bLWiTkzejsF6747Tqv8G0V0DqK_h09GPENBfe7o âWhen I was younger, my wicked neighbour had a farm with many fruit trees. Of course, the trees attracted children who always tried to steal his fruits, and he was always screaming and swearing whenever he noticed anyone near his precious trees. My mum had already warned me not to go near his trees, and I stayed away â until one day during mango season. Iâd begged my mum to buy my mangoes that day, but sheâd refused. Annoyed, I went to the back of the house to play. Thatâs when I saw the mangoes on my neighbourâs tree. I decided it wouldnât hurt to âtakeâ one, so I climbed and took one. Then I took another, and then another. My foolish self shouldâve stopped at one. Anyway, my neighbour caught me. I even thought heâd beat me. Maybe a beating wouldâve been better. Instead, he made me sit down, then pushed a bowl of about 40 mangoes in front of me and asked me to eat them all. I started crying, and he threatened to report to my mum if I didnât eat them. Out of sheer fear, I started eating the mangoes. Most of them were unripe. I canât remember how many I ate before I fainted. I just know the man poured water on my head and shouted at me to leave. I never told my mum, but my stomach pained me for days after that.â â Jeremiah Your story could be the next one featured here.
