It was  a sunny 
day  in the month of may , the sun
took its rightful position  very early,  lending credence to general feelings that
ubong’s birthday ceremony  was going to
be greeted with the blessing of pleasant climate. The sky looks so bright that
ubong  insisted  on having 
an open air party. The  habitual
doubting thomase  had no  dissenting opinions to express. Ubong   had gone 
to a great length to  ensure  a hitch free party . A party which would
remain a talk of the town. Although it was not intended to be  free 
for all,  a lot  had been done 
to stamp the occasion  on the  memories 
of  many  people 
long afterwards
The  bright sun 
continue  to smile. ubong’s  face beamed 
with pleasure with  every passing
moment. Very  few  of  his 
contemporaries have  so  succeeded 
in reaching the top of the ladder.  
in particular had been an orphan 
of storm. His  father’s died  during his third year  in the secondary school  and that of his mother two years later  were only two of this orphan’s storm . he
suffered physical misfortune  when a
stock fish machine severed his right finger. But ubong’s  did not despair
The coverage
to fail is very cheap. Every  fool can
afford to fail  but its raises one above
the herd of coward  and never do well to
be up  and struggling  the reward of forbearance  in the end is resounding  success 
and so its was for ubong.  Ever
since he finished his  tertiary
institution, it had been success galore . he had got a good job in one of the
country’s insurance  companies . his pay
was good  his promotion had  been steady and his prospect seems bright. At
forty he had a good car  and had  already bought  a house of his own. The world was at his
feet!
