NCE upon a time there was a very hard-working farmer. He had developed a grapery that used to give a rich crop of grapes every year. He had three sons but none of them bothered to help their father in his work. They were very easy-going kind of people. So, the farmer was very worried about their future.
One day, the farmer fell ill as of old age. He called his son and said, “Dear sons! I doubt my end is near and before dying I want to tell you that, in my grapery, there lies a hidden treasure. Dig it out after my death.” Saying this, the old farmer died.
After performing the last rituals of their father, the sons began digging the vine-yard. They dug every inch of it but found nothing.
But the digging led to such a rich crop as had never been there before even when their father was alive. So, the sons came to know what their father meant by hidden treasure.
You have all seen the result of the word I gave you earlier from the two stories. Could you please write the lessons you learnt on a cardboard or a plain sheet of paper and paste them where you can see every time. This will serve as your watchword throughout the term.
Try hard to be diligent in your studies then pray to God to bless your efforts. Once again, I wish you the best.
Resumption is around the corner!
Dear children, thanks be to God who has kept you safe from COVID-19 pandemic and other harms in the last six
months of compulsory and unusual holiday. Now, it is time to go back to school, to resume learning and I am sure that
you are very happy.
By now I am sure you would have arranged your stationeries in your school bags, brought out your
uniform for ironing by your parents or sibling(s) and also polished your shoes.
But all your preparations would not be complete without taking along this word ‘diligence’ as you resume. This will
help you to with other preparations to come out in flying colours in the new session. AUNTY YEMI wants you to read
the two stories in her column today and pick a few lessons that will help you. I wish you the best of everything throughout.
this term and also pray that God will provide for your parents to supply your needs.
I also want you to abide by every rule your school gives you in order to stay safe. Be obedient!

Mug Shots At EFCC’s Eagle
