Dodoy was awaken by a loud cry of a baby with protruded abdomen and naked .The baby lying in the leaves of a babana tree. Dodoy’s cuddled the baby but the baby doest stop in crying. Dodoy get mad/angry and upon hit the baby. The baby became a old man with a long hair, beard and looked dirty. Dodoy dropped it and run as fast as he can.

           He looked back but his fear increased because the old man was not there anymore he run and he run but he was still in the same place he was before. the sun set and he kept in trying to go home . He fell down and decided to crawl so that he can go away in that place.
