However, afraid of what burden Adewale may be to her and other children, she cleverly left home without taking him along. Mother and children had to beg to survive along the road to Ilorin. To worsen matter, Toluene was stung by a giant scorpion.
Medication was not immediately available along the way on their journey. Adewale was his father's favorite . Before the dismise of the hunter, he had Learnt from him, the art of healing through herbalism ( to heal with herbs and leafs ). Despite this, no help was readily available to Toluene as the poor crippled - child was left behind .
Odewale, the father of the crippled was known to be a famous herbalist ( a person who heals by herbs and leafs ) apart from his prowess in hunting of wild animals. It was at that moment that Bimpe first recognized that no matter the state of any child, he or she has a part to play in the lives of others.
"How I wish I brought 'Wale along", she regretted. Toluene later died due to the scorpion's sting and the poor woman cried bitterly for days.
"Well! The journey must continue", she had decided. Sadly, she continued with the other two after burying the body of the poor girl with some sand and dead leaves

. They later settled in a town not too far from Ilorin where mother and children became hirelings for sustenance.
Adewale's story though saddening was different. Nothing happened by accident. It is a fact that no head wears the the crown that has no stories of some mysteries, tests and trial to tell. Fate took its course.
In the end, it became obvious that God never abandoned the suffering.

. It is said that the tortoise, no matter how slow as it is will eventually see the end of a journey. Adewale though, sorrowful but full of courage, started a lonesome journey for triumph and consequences. He went a different way crawling along the road, past trees and undergrowths. After covering some distance, he felt tired and worn out. He became hungry too. On the first day of his journey when it was night, he needed to rest . At last, not minding the darkness, he found a place which to him was safe. He sat under an Iroko tree in the dark forest and committed his life into the hands of his ancestors.

hmm, it is a case oh, especially for the disabled ones. please whenever you meet a person with disability anywhere, don't be acting unconcern or all sympathetic over him or her. but try to be empathetic, that is understanding them and how to develop oneself to become so relevant in the society. in so doing, every person in all around the globe will be empowered and seen as a great asset. God bless the one who empowers the needy, particularly the disabled ones like the blind. they are verily underrated, however, when efficiently empowered, do greater things more than the seeing colleagues. thank you all and kindly do your best.
