dream. It was Daniel and princess ruth
that both read all night at the dinning
table of the palace dinning. After reading
all they could, they both read their bibles
and prayed for success in their
examination.
Each person went back into various
rooms. Daniel prayed again and revised
all he read with Ruth on the dinning. He
took his bath and slept off. Ruth also
took her bath and slept off. The exam
would start by nine that morning.
Daniel woke up by 7:30 and got dressed.
By that time, princess was already
dressed and set. He came out dressed in
a shirt, brown trouser and a brown shoe.
He was looking so handsome. He went
straight to the living room to greet the
king and the Queen. He shook princess
Ruth and both left the house with
different cars.
They got to the main campus. Daniel and
Ruth got down from the car and stood
together, reading. They got there by
some minutes past eight. Both were just
gisting till princess’ friends arrived by
8:30. Each also with her father’s car and
a driver each. They were all happy to see
one another, Daniel was standing by the
door side, reading his jottings. He
greeted the friends all and continue
reading until they were all called into the
exam hall.
The examination was computer based.
The whole thing started, Daniel was the
first to finish the exam. He submitted to
the computer and left the hall, straight
into the car and listening to music. It
was so simple to him.
He waited for his other friends to come
out so he can quickly get home and visit
Darasimi and her family that week.
Finally, they arrived from the exam hall.
Smiling and gisting. “It was so simple.”
They were saying till they got to the car.
Daniel had a slight smile at them, got
down and asked how the exam was.
‘It was hmmn… Should I say soft?’ Bibi
uttered.
‘Which one is now hmmmn… It was
awesome.’ Rachel said.
‘It was beautiful!’ Stella said hers too.
‘We thank God!’ Ruth uttered and smiled.
She knew that Daniel would still pay
reference to that sentence she just made.
‘You all are somehow. Apart from her
highness. You said it was soft, beautiful,
awesome. Argh!’ Temitope said.
‘So what would we have said.
WE THANK GOD.
They all laughed and hopped into the car
and went home. The exam result would
come out in the next one hour. They all
went straight to the palace, so that they
would check the result together there.
They went in to greet the King and
returned back to the swimming pool to
sit with each person with his and her
laptop.
Not quite long, the result was released.
Each person was busy checking his and
hers. No one was ready for one another.
Princess got 82% as her overall mark,
Stella, 78%, Rachael, 75.3%, Beatrice,
77.4%. To their greatest surprise,
Daniel’s result wasn’t released. They all
filed up to the king to show their results.
Daniel was told to come to the school
that day.
He was so worried and rushed back to
the school. He was told he got the
highest mark out of all that came to the
examination, but he was given another
examination tougher than the one he did
before. He was surprised so much and
did the examination in the midst of many
lecturers and the school’ board of
directors. His examination was totaled by
the computer immediately he finished it
and got 96%. He got 98.8% in the former
one he did, they were all proud of him
there.
He was so happy himself. All the
lecturers where beyond surprised at him.
With everyone still standing there he
wasn’t distracted and focused till he
made it. He was congratulated and was
given a lot of prizes that day
