Open confession (Akpos and Okon)
An old retired soldier employed Akpos and Okon
in his house.
Okon is to work as the gardener while Akpos is to
man the gate.
The old soldier took them to a mango tree at his
backyard and warn “You can eat any other fruit
but stay away from this mango tree. I cherish it
so much and anyone I catch will be jailed”
One week later, the old soldier notice that some
mango fruits are missing.
He summoned them with immediate effect.
“Who has the effrontery to pluck my mango ”
asked the angry soldier.
They kept silence.
He turned to Okon and ask “Are you?”
Okon replied “No sir! My hands are clean”
He then turn to Akpos and ask “This one you are
shivering, I guess you are the one”
Akpos replied “Sir Nooo! Am seeing this mango
for the 2nd time”.
The old soldier said “Anyway, let me not act until
I ask my wife. Meanwhile, pluck some for me to
eat”
Akpos carried a stick to pluck the mango, Okon
shouted at him “Take that stick back! Its not tall
enough”
The soldier asked surprisingly “How did you
know?”
Okon replied “I tried it yesterday.”
Just as the old soldier was figuring out best way
to handle Okon.
Okon grabbed the longer stick and started
plucking the mango, Akpos shouted “Pluck the
back ones, the front ones are not sweet”.
Who is the real thief?
