gone to the village
for Xmas celebration
went hunting in a
nearby village. He shot and dropped a
bird, but it fell into a
farmer’s field on the
other side of a fence. As Barrister Akpors
climbed over the
fence, an elderly
gentleman asked him
what he was doing. He responded, “I shot
a duck and it fell in this
field, I’m going in to
retrieve it.” The old farmer replied,
“This is my property,
and you are not
coming over here.” Arrogant Akpors said,
“I am one of the best
trial attorneys in this
country, and, if you
don’t let me get that
duck, I’ll sue you and take everything!” The old farmer smiled
and said, “Apparently,
you don’t know how
we do things here. We
settle small
disagreements like this with the Three-Kick
Rule.” Barrister Akpors
asked, “What is the
three-Kick Rule?” The Farmer replied,
“Well, first I kick you
three times and then
you kick me three
times, and so on, back
and forth, until someone gives up.” Barrister Akpors
quickly thought about
the proposed contest
and decided that he
could easily take the
old farmer. He agreed to abide by
the local custom. The old farmer slowly
walked up to him. His first kick planted
the toe of his heavy
work boot into Akpor’s
groin and dropped him
to his knees. His second kick nearly
wiped Akpors’ nose off
his face. Barrister Akpors was
flat on his belly when
the farmer’s third kick
to a kidney nearly
caused him to give up. He eventually
summoned every bit of
his will and managed
to get to his feet and
said, “Okay, you old farmer,
now it’s my turn.” The farmer smiled and
said, “Now, I give up. You
can have the duck.” Moral: No
matter how
well
educated
you are,
RESPECT YOUR
ELDERS!
