Atongo is a house boy who drinks his Boss’ wine with impunity then adds water to cover his tracks. His Boss became suspicious & decided to buy pasties (a French wine that changes color if u add water; just like dettol). Unaware of this, atongo, drank from the wine as usual & topped it up with water. Immediately he added water, the pasties became milky & he knew he was in trouble. When d Boss came back and saw the changed pasties, he knew he had nailed Atongo. Atongo knowing he was in trouble decided to stay in d kitchen when his boss came home. The Boss having told his wife what he observed now swung into action.
“Atongo!”, he called from the sitting room.
He answered: “Yes, Boss”.
“Who drank my pasties?”. Atongo: No answer.
The Boss asked again: still no answer.
Then the Boss went to the kitchen to meet him there: “Are you insane or what? when I called, you say “yes boss” but when I asked you a question you didn’t answer me? ” Atongo retorted, “hmmm oga when you are in the kitchen you don’t understand anything at all, except your name” “Is that so?” asked the boss, “Okay, go to the bar stand beside Madam, while I go into d kitchen; and then, you ask me a question” Atongo accepted. When his boss was in the kitchen he shouts: “Boss”. “Yes, Atongo” Boss answered. Atongo then asked, “Who goes into the maid’s bedroom when Madam is not at home?” No answer. The boy shouted again: “Boss, I say who sneaks into the maid’s room when madam is not in the house?” No answer. The Boss ran back from the kitchen shouting “Wonders shall never cease! Atongo, It is true, when one is in the kitchen, one does not hear anything, except one’s name.” The wife now very angry, interrupted, “that’s not true. It’s a lie! Without argument.” Atongo asked if she’ll enter the magic kitchen to be tested. She agreed. Atongo asked madam, “Who’s junior’s biological father? Me or d Boss? “Madam rushed out of the kitchen. “This kitchen needs to be renovated… can’t hear anything while there”..hmmmm
