perplexity. Before long, in any case, God showed compassion for
the tenants of the town; he recollected that these
individuals were after all his own creation; he pardoned them
be that as it may, cautioned them never to rehash their offenses, and
everything came back to its past great. Be that as it may, when
they had again eaten well and tipsy to fulfillment,
they overlooked who made them; they started to stroll in the
way of their own picking and to act in any way
that satisfied them. In any case, their Producer saw them from
paradise, for all demonstrations of humankind are seen by God
what's more, there is nothing avoided Him. Subsequently He
sent his emissaries to enquire into the wrongdoings of
this city of blood; they came in the appearance of men and
they stopped at my home. I took great care of them
furthermore, regarded them; I invited them hands and feet,
took such care of them as was inside my energy. They
did not stay long with me, just sufficiently long to convey
their message from the Lord of Paradise. They turned
the tenants of this town into a race of the idiotic and
rebuffed all of them with visual deficiency; the city turned into a
city of condemnations for ever, yet I was saved by God. Presently
that I have set eyes on you I don't need you ever to
leave from me. I need you to abide with me that I
may hold chat with you and you with me, for it
is the organization of the open that the open keeps, it is
the organization of the disguise that the impostor
looks for, the fish swims after the organization of fishes in the
stream; you are of my own kind.'
When she had completed I answered that I would do
precisely as she guided for I was burnt out on to such an extent
careless meandering. In any case, I looked for her liberality to sit tight
a little and watch the occasions in this market before we
went ahead to her home. It was simply after her discourse that
I understood that these individuals were all visually impaired and stupid,
what's more, the element which had made me clueless was
31
that their eyes were totally open as though they could see;
much to my dismay that the eyes which they conveyed about
with them were eyes of duplicity.
Numerous, numerous things did my eyes see however I will
not state every one of them now, I will relate them one more day.
By the by I will let you know a tad bit of them or it show up
that I skirt this scene altogether.
The primary episode I saw concerned a specific man,
a handicapped person, who strolled with the guide of a prop. This
man went quick and bounced about on his staff, and
he soon limited past me toward a lake.
Perceiving that he was so near it, I cried a notice to
him that his course was no lane however he paid
no notice. On touching base at the edge he jumped straight into
the lake. He was altogether doused and I got myself
brimming with pity for him. Be that as it may, rather than misery, this
man just burst into chuckling; he rose up out of the
lake and proceeded with his distraught dash everywhere.
He had not jumped more than three times when he
jumped against a lady. This lady was goaded however
as she lifted her arm to strike the culpable man, it was
an entirely unexpected individual whom the arm experienced
what's more, he thusly became fierce. He brought his hand up in
retribution however controlled the discipline to yet another
man. A little while later the battle spread to the whole
showcase group and they started to strike each other. As
they hurried here and there a few infants tumbled off their
moms' backs and it was out of luck that the
warriors charged to meet each other. In the same
way the matured among them who had little quality
to prop them up fell and couldn't rise, while the whole
people made their bodies their avenue. Regularly
at the point when a child had tumbled down on the battleground
also, the mother stooped to lift it up, rather than hers
she grabbed another's; some gotten dead children
32
rather than their own living youngsters, for God was loaded with
outrage against them.
One other thing I watched was that a considerable lot of
them destroyed their garments inside; some wore their agbada
back to front, some among the ladies wore their
take ties inside off; each article of clothing shone with foulness, it
was more similar to within a seeker's pack.
Numerous sights did I witness in this market however they
are a long ways past what I can describe as of now. When I
had stayed for a little while and had seen enough I took after this
lady to her home and we started to live respectively.
I went frequently to their law courts. On occasion when a
man had submitted an offense and they looked to rebuff
him, the policeman would seize one of the honorability,
furthermore, before he found the casualty's actual character,
would have served him numerous slaps in fast progression;
now and again when the lord attempted to mount his steed he
arrived on a dairy animals; even so did the issues of these individuals
run willy nilly, upside down.
From the day of my landing in this town there
had been a room in the house where I lived which the
lady, my host, could never permit me to enter. She
had, not long after my landing, requested that me never go
into that room the length of she was alive, however a great many
her demise I could do whatever I satisfied for the whole
house would then be mine. The lady and I adored
each other incredibly; it was an awesome love and I started to
consider genuinely taking her to spouse; and it was at this
exceptionally time that she was laid prostrate by a sudden sickness,
what's more, over the span of this sickness that she passed on.
I had not suspected that this lady would pass on some time recently
me, for I was by a long shot the senior; just when she had
consequently kicked the bucket did I recognize that youngsters and matured
alike, none can get away from the hand of death. After her
demise I sobbed till I almost went dazzle, overlooking that
33
sobbing does not breath life into the dead back, but rather as it were
puts the living in hazard. Give the mourner a chance to sob unceasingly
furthermore, the murmuring moan for ever, he who must can't help
his going.
After the lady's demise, I started to look for a few
method for getting away from this town and, as I sat down one
day thinking how I ought to continue, my psyche went to
the room which the lady had prohibited me to enter.
I ascended from the beginning, on my garments and headed
for this room as I needed to see what it contained. On
the purpose of opening the entryway, I was at first apprehensive, however
when I reviewed the amount I had experienced before
I said to myself that I just needed to open it; whatever
would happen to it, let it come: thus I tossed it open.
The exact moment I went into the room, I got myself
in my own particular room at home, and when I looked round I
discovered my firearm which I had lost at the place where I did
fight with Agbako; I discovered my chasing pack and a couple
different articles which I had lost in the Woodland of a Thousand
Daemons and when I investigated the sides of
the room, I found a sack of cash.
I spent this cash in delights on myself, I ate,
drank, hung myself in good garments.
Accordingly closes the account of my first visit in this
most frightening woods. I would now like you to discover
me a little nourishment for craving is nearby. When I have
finished with eating I will lay my tongue to the story of my
second trip, and that story is considerably more scrumptious
than the one that has gone some time recently.

Indeed, even so did this man portray the enterprises of his first
adventure to the Woods of a Thousand Daemons. At the point when
his story was finished I brought him sustenance and he ate, yet
I saw that night was drawing closer, so I recommended that
he resign for the day and return at break of the accompanying
day. I went with him a portion of the way and we
traded goodbyes, 'Till tomorrow.'
