Ikazi’s reward

It was mid winter when Mr. Ikazi was having tea with Mrs. Ikazi his wife. Suddenly Mrs. Ikazi said “You don’t have any job and it’s time you got one we are very poor”. He said he could not find any. So when it was dinner time he went to the baker’s shop to buy dinner but when he reached there he saw a paper pasted on the wall. It said “Anyone interested in getting a job? Here is one: you can take the food to the customers’ houses and you will be well paid. Bakery.”  He was overjoyed and ran back to his wife and discussed the matter and accepted the job. The first day nothing went wrong but he got tired of walking so he thought he would buy a bicycle but the bicycle was too expensive .so he bought an old ruined bicycle which could carry his weight and the food. But the next day when he delivered the last item and left to go home, he saw two cycles where he had left his own. He did not look very carefully. He just chose one and went home. Accidently he chose the wrong one. When its owner came he could not find his own cycle he called the police .They said they would find the thief. When Mr. Ikazi reached home he parked the cycle outside the shed and went in. When the police was crossing the street outside, they saw the bike and knew it was the stolen one. They went there and asked him. He told them what had happened after he had bought the bike, and the police was certain it was him, as they had figured it out. The man came running and suddenly tripped over. His mask came off and the policeman recognized him and knew that he was the one who had stolen the bicycle a few years back. They arrested him. Mr. Ikazi said: “Aha! Got you! There, you see, it was all part of my plan.” So he got a reward and he and his wife lived happily ever after.
