BS & the Smith Man.

By YJ

You know Batch Samba, BS. He is just that character who does weird and
funny stuff; crazy if you think over his doings. You probably in a
life time were as stubborn but not close to his level.


BS visited the smith man to have his silver bangle (hand's wear)
designed with his name on it. Upon arrival, he was seated just like
the tens of other customers waiting to be served. BB saw the bellows
fanning the flames and admired the bellows so much that he requested
to help the smith man. BS was entrusted with the bellows. "Paw baw"
the noisy bellows echoed aloud like thunder claps. The rhythm was
uniform such that it produced a drum-beat noise, little less than the
mortar and pestle sounds in the early morning dawns of African hamlets
where cock-crows are the awakening alarm clocks.


As BS sat opposite to the smith man, he noticed some thick balls
hanging out through the loose trouser locally "daba-kurta." That is
the man's tool (scrotal testis), breathing high and low under a hot
and crowded work office.


BS's poor instinct instructed him to harm the poor and peaceful smith
man. He took a sharp rod and had its end on the flames. Once the rod
was red hot, he tapped it on the hanging human tool. At once the smith
man flew to the ceiling level under pain of a hot rod. Coming down to
the ground like a stone, he fainted to graveyard door.


Before everyone seated knew what happened to the poor man, BS exited
the door with a lightening speed. It was a moment of wonder as
everyone tried to guess what happened. Some said the devil hit again.
Others said some evil forces have come to attack the poor man. Others
said his gone ancestors were not happy with him. To others, it was
just one of the many unresolved mysteries. The truth remains God, the
smith man and Batch Samba only knew what happened.


It was until the smith man regained consciousness that the people knew
the only angry ancestor; the only devil in this case; and the only
trouble maker was none but the notorious Batch Samba.


Moral Lesson:


A smith man must never entrust his bellows with a naughty one; and a
man with poor (dirty) instinct must never be entrusted with authority
capable of harming people.  It also shows how we always blame the
devil for things we don't know.


…for goodness sake, how can BS poke the man's tool with a hot rod?
