THE TWO FRIENDS AND THE MEAT

Chinedu and Emeka are best friends from childhood in Onitsha.

One day they went to a party. At the party, they served meat - one big meat per person.

Chinedu ate his own meat very fast. He looked at Emeka's plate. Emeka's meat was still there.

Chinedu: "Guy, you no dey eat your meat?"

Emeka: "I dey keep am, I want enjoy am last."

Chinedu: "You know say meat no like person wey keep am? E go spoil."

Emeka: "No worry."

Chinedu kept looking at the meat. After 10 minutes, he said, "Guy, make I help you hold the meat, make e no fall for ground."

Emeka: "No."

Chinedu: "Okay, make I just dey protect am from fly."

Before Emeka could answer, Chinedu carried the meat and ate it.

Emeka: "CHINEDU! YOU ATE MY MEAT!"

Chinedu, chewing: "I was protecting it. The protection was too protective, it entered my stomach for safety."

Emeka vexed and didn't talk to him for 2 weeks.

After 2 weeks, Emeka cooked soup at home - with plenty meat.

He called Chinedu: "Guy, come chop."

Chinedu came happily. He opened the pot of soup. He saw only one meat inside.

Chinedu: "Ah, why only one meat?"

Emeka smiled: "I was protecting all the other meats. The protection was too protective, it entered MY stomach for safety."

Since then, Chinedu never touch another person's meat again.
