If anyone tells you they were once dragged down the road by robbers, you will probably feel sorry for them.
Please don't feel sorry for me.
Laugh instead.
It happened on a Friday night. I had just returned from visiting my aunt. In my handbag was the most valuable thing I owned at the time.
Not money.
Not jewelry.
Just twenty hot meat pies.
My aunt had made them specially for me. Since I was too stingy to share, I hid them in a black handbag and started walking home.
The street was quiet. A few streetlights flickered above me. I was busy imagining how I would eat all twenty pies comfortablely once I get home.
Suddenly, two men jumped out from the darkness.
"Give us your bag!" one shouted.
I immediately screamed.
"No!" Give you my bag Keh, what will happen to my dream of eating all this meat pie alone.
The robbers looked angry.
Do you think we are here to play with you?
One robber grabbed my arm. The other grabbed my legs. Before I knew it, I was being dragged along the road like a sack of cassava.
"Chimo ooo" I shouted.
"Release that bag now!" they shouted back.
"Never!"
At that point, even I didn't know why I was fighting so hard for ordinary meat pies.
The robbers probably thought I was carrying gold bars.
If only they knew.
The dragging continued.
Meanwhile, my handbag decided to save my life so I can live another to eat more meat pie.
The zip burst open.
Twenty meat pies flew into the road.
Everywhere.
The robbers froze.
I froze.
For a few seconds, nobody spoke.
One pie rolled directly to the foot of the taller robber.
He picked it up.
He looked at me like, is this one ok?
He looked at the pie.
Then he looked back at me like, what's going on here?
"You mean we've been dragging you for meat pies?"
I sat on the ground in silence,the only thing I can see is my dream of sitting at home comfortably eating my meat pie going up in smoke
The shorter robber picked up the bag and stared inside.
Nothing.
Just crumbs, he turn it inside out still nothing, just crumbs.
The look of disappointment on his face nearly broke my heart.
They both look at me like I am the most despicable person they have ever seen in their lives.
For some reason, the situation became even more embarrassing when a stray dog appeared.
The dog immediately attacked the scattered pies.
Within seconds, three more dogs joined.
A full-scale meat pie battle began in the middle of the road.
The robbers keep looking at me in anger.
I watched the dogs in sadness.
My treasure was being destroyed.
Finally, the taller robber handed me my empty handbag.
Take your bag, I looked at him with hatred in my eyes, what's the point of giving me the bag now that my precious meat pies are gone?
Then both robbers walked away angrily.
I picked up the two surviving pies and limped home.
To this day, I remain the only person I know who was dragged down a road by robbers because of meat pies.
And somehow, the robbers were the ones who felt cheated. Follow me for more stories☺️
