The Construction of Ewiase and Its Implication on Day-Borns (2)
Dear Senior Opupulepu,
How are you do? I hope you are do fine, just as me and my alls are also do fine.
Senior, continuing the story of the construction of Ewiase by Yahweh and its implication on Day-Borns, I continue from how Yahweh was very pleased with Tuesday doing wonderful jobs that pleased Him, but Wednesday followed very confused bringing fireflies andinstead of torchlights, and that ended the Fourth Day.
Senior, then Yahweh said, “Let there be Keta Schoolboys and their lookalikes doing swimming competitions in the waters and under the Sky, let there be Vultures and their cousinschasing winds.” After half a day Thursday came with two forty-footer containers, one had two aquariums, one was full of tilapia and their cousins. The other aquarium was full of Keta Schoolboys, attending Keta Presby Free SHS and the Chorkor Rascals thiefing coconuts on the shores.
Senior, Yahweh said: “Yah”, and Thursday born daughters of Eve shouted: “We received it in Yesu’s Name.” That was how come they are called Yaa. Then, Thursday went on to open the second container and out flew mosquitoes, house, town and village flies, and gblagbladza, as in cockroaches who were escaping from the birds who are taking them for brunch.
Senior, Yahweh saw that in the Order of Creation, the Thursday Male Borns, started creating confusion and deviating temporarily from a straight course, so Yahweh decreed that from henceforth, tomorrow to come to go, the Thursday Male Borns will forever be called Yaw.
Senior, the Thursday borns are willing to do job, but they do not do it in the order of service, while some of their daughters of Eve are useful to society, like a certain Yaa Asantewa, some are counter-proactive like a certain for-better-for-worse of a certain Koshigah Red-Herrings who always burns dry grass and leaves.
Senior, Yahweh saw that He was making some progress, despite their hiccups, so He said “Let ewiase give birth to all living things, rats and all, and every living thing that is high and wild.” Yahweh, then said, “Let Us manufacture the wildest animal in Our Image and Lookalike and hope that he will see the Light and become born-again.”Senior, Friday sent off with speed as if his class teacher is chasing him with cane, to bring about what Yahweh said.
Senior, instead of going straight to the labour ward and collecting the pikins Ewiase was borning, he rather went first to the traditional birth attendant near him. Finding no one at home, he directed himself to the labour ward and when he finally got there, the harm has already been done. Sibling rivalry had resulted in the living things clustering in identifiable groups and fighting among themselves. This is the origin of civil wars.
Senior, in the midst, this Friday dropped all the living creatures in the sight of Yahweh. But Yahweh looked on and said to Friday, “A Few, more,” meaning Friday had not finished yet. Just hearing Yahweh say, “A Few,” the Friday Born daughters of Eve, “We received it, in Yesu’s Name” And to this day, they are called “Efua.”
Yahweh then made homo sapiens in His own Lookalike and Lookalike and asked them to chop fertiliser and do multiplication exercises in arithmetic or akontah for short. Then He also blessed Friday who like doing work but do not complete, always leaving a few things behind. Evening came, morning followed, the Sixth Day.
Senior, when it was the turn of the Seventh Day, that is Saturday, this Day Born did not want to be classified among mistake makers. So, the smart, but lazy, Saturday run to Yahweh and pleaded: “Oh, Great One, You have been working for six continuous days and so You must rest. Go and relax in that lazy chair; we shall get you some goat pepper soup and palm wine.”
Senior, Saturday was not blessed, because after Yahweh took the goat pepper soup and the wine, He slept for the first time, in Eternity. When He woke up, evening had come and morning had followed, the Seventh Day.
Senior, to this day, all the days were blessed by Yahweh except Saturday who thought he was smart enough to make Yahweh not to give him job. Yahweh is still thinking what to do about Saturday. Tuesday, stands out to be the best day and Yahweh’s favourite.
Senior, they say Sunday, go for Light, they first went for osono, dumsor; Monday, go for Sky, they went scaling people’s walls; Wednesday, go bring torchlights, they went for fireflies and house flies; Thursday, go for Keta Schoolboys and pigeons, they added Chorkor Rascals and taught Akonfems how to fly to Burkina; Friday only did half of what they were asked to do and had to be sent again. As for Saturday, very lazy but smart, they made Yahweh rest that day, because they know they can never find whatever Yahweh will send them for.
Senior, I am not suggesting that Tuesday is better than all the days, even as it is very evident, thatitis. All of creation bears witness to this fact. So, anyone who so shall behold a Tuesday Born, should consider themselves blessed because Tuesday is the best.
I am Kwabena, sorry, I am Dan; sorry, I am done.
It’s me!
