Uncle Bernard!

'Uncle, growing up, I remember how you showed up for Mum when our Dad died. You were always coming to our house for one thing or the other. You truly 'showed' us that Dad was your younger brother and for everything you did to and for us, I decided I'd return the favour. Now we've all come into a semblance of wealth and power and here's our gift to you. Yes, the key to the family house we were sending you money to build for us' . The more Chude spoke, the redder his uncle, Uncle Bernard turned

'Noooooooo no no, I can't take such gift from you. You sent me money to build a family house for all of you and I did exactly that. I have my bungalow and it's quite comfortable for my family and I' Uncle Bernard said upon recovering from the shock of being gifted the duplex.

Of course Chude along his other siblings and those invited for the house warming insisted and  Uncle Bernard was left with no choice but to accept the gift in order not to give himself away. Deep in his heart was nothing but tears of sorrow as he realized his folly.

Back story: Uncle Bernard never allowed his younger brother's family know peace from the minute he died. He spearheaded every conspiracy to rip the family of everything his brother owned, yet he used every given opportunity to deprieve the family of knowing peace.

As life cannot be predicted, his brother's three kids through hardwork and favour came into wealth and decided to repay Uncle Bernard by building him a house under the guise that it was for their family. And just like they predicted, he doubled the cost of everything yet used the most inferior of products in the house and engaged every kind of sharp practice he could think of.

Well, Uncle Bernard received his just reward and same goes for all of us. Do unto others what you'd wish to be done unto you because we reap what we sow.

Happy Sunday all!
