Nneoma and Ada were peeling cassava as

Chisom walked out dressed up.

”Where are you going to?” Nneoma asked

”To the dance rehearsals” Chisom replied and

looked at Ada

”Are you not going with me?” Chisom asked

Ada

”No my dear, I’m working here. Maybe next

time” Ada said

”No my dear, go and play with your fellow girls.

I will do it” Nneoma said

”But Mama..” Ada tried to refuse

”Follow her my dear.. Good girl” Nneoma said

and Ada stood up

”Are you pitying her?” Chisom asked Ada and

they burt into laughter

”She can finish all this in 2 minutes” Chisom

added and Ada went in to dress up..

”She is really a good girl” Nneoma

”Mama eeh, I wished she was my sister”

Chisom said

”Unlike you naughty girl” Nneoma said and

they laughed. Ada walked out dressing locally

well and they left.

”Take care ooh” Nneoma shouted from the

back yard.

At the dance rehearsals, Ada was well

introduced by Chisom. During the dance

practices, Ada danced and sang more than

everybody. They were astonished and all loved

her immediately. Ada later thought them some

dance steps..

On their way home that evening, Chisom

pestered on Ada with so many questions about

how she learnt how to dance

”You were so amazing.. See how you were

shaking. Everybody liked it” Chisom said

”But I don’t know how to dance” Ada said

”Don’t say that again ooh” Chisom said and they

walked home happily. Chisom being the basket

mouth type told her mother and Father about

the dance life of Ada and they were amazed..

”Who taught you how to dance my dear?”

Nneoma asked

”I just grew up to see myself dancing Mamam.

I learnt my mother was a good dancer” Ada

said

”I thought as much” Odunze exclaimed and

they all smiled..
