Grandmother Nanfoin's Cane

This happened in Cameroon in the town of Garoua where a man lived, his wife with

his three children. All of their children were boys. Georges, the father of the children wanted

that his sons visit their grandfather from time to time. He wanted to leave their sons for a

months with their grandfather to spend the holidays. It was on Saturday that Ceddric, Eric, and

John were going to visit their grandfathers. Their mother had baked them a vanilla cake for

let them take it and go with it to their grandfather.

Georges takes the three of them to their grandfather's. They got to know their

grandfather and tasted the cake that their mother had prepared after the lunch they had

had with their grandfather. Grandfather Chongwain had a slice of cake. He was looking for a

room where her sons went to sleep. He sent them to a room where there were two beds

bunks and a bed for the last boy. This room used to be the sons room

of grandfather Chongwain. In this room, there was a cane. We couldn't tell

that Grandfather Chongwain used this cane since he was not handicapped and we do not

never seen with that. Currently this cane belonged to Grandmother Nanfoin who was

died before the birth of children.

Grandma was disabled and she couldn't walk. This cane had powers

magical. Grandma never knew. "What could that cane do?". She

could take people to any country. In the new room of three

boys, Cédric, Eric, and John, the three boys were putting away their things in their closet. After that, they left the room and decided to play outside. Grandfather

read his newspaper outside on the terrace and watched his grandsons. The three were playing

soccer. They were having fun. Grandfather had decided to barbecue for dinner. He

wanted to prepare skewers with braised fish. He started doing it

afternoon at three o'clock. His sons had stopped playing. They took a shower and

got dressed and then decided to and watch television. Grandfather was cooking

on coal. He had also cooked fried plantains for himself and his sons. He took all his

time to make the four braised fish and the skewers. There were also sticks of

cassava he had taken out of the refrigerator.

His three sons were laughing at the cartoon Kirikoo and the witch. grandfather their

brought the fried plantains he had made with their braised fish. He also put on

their plates for each three cassava sticks.

The children loved the food. It was a real delight. They were surprised that their

grandfather was a man who knew how to cook well. Their grandfather also ate. They

weren't at the table eating but sitting where they wanted. They spent the whole night

watch television. Grandpa Chongwain went to his bedroom to sleep. The children too

went to sleep. At night, when the children slept, the cane moved.

No one had heard the noise the cane made. They were sound asleep. The

cane had changed places and had gone to the side of the geographical map. She looked at all

the countries on the map. She was thinking of traveling. The next morning the children were awake

and hadn't thought about where the cane was placed.

They were starting to shower and get dressed. They loved vacations at home

grandpa even though it was the first day they had started the vacation in earnest. They

had breakfast and decided to play hide and seek outside. They were changing the game

and walked around the town of Garoua. They visited the stores. It was really

amusing!

Grandpa Chongwain knew those sons were outside because they asked him for the

permission before going outside. The day was going well! Grandfather had cooked foofoo with vegetables. These vegetables were called "Huckleberry". It was for lunch. He

had kept the vegetables in plastic and the foofoo in aluminum foil. When

meal time will come, he will heat up the vegetables and the children's foofoo.
