A long, long time ago when animals could talk, there lived a tall, black and athletic young boy know as Jimmy. His mother died when he very small. He lived with his father and stepmother, together with her children.
His stepmother hated him to the core. She didn't want him to go to school. Instead, she would send him to the fields to look after cattle, while her two daughters got the best education and attention at home. All these were done because his father was too traditional. He didn't acknowledge the importance of education he thought the best investment was looking after cattle, own your own one day and become a great farmer. After few years, his father passed away and he was left under his stepmother’s care.
He had a very handsome and powerful dog which went with him wherever he go. They loved each other. They would talk together at the fields and the dog would warn him about any pending danger against his life. It would even tell him what was happening at home during his absence.
One day it just came to him licking his hands and whispered in his ear, “Jimmy do you want to know your stepmother top secret," it asked with a flash of a smile across its face.
