"So, I was feeling bored and was about to hit the streets about noon yesterday when I heard a knock on my front gate.

It was our neighbor, who's a friend to my Papa, and he was gonna come check the trap he and my Papa set for some Monitor Lizard they'd been spotting for a few weeks.

This animal is so sly that it always eat the bait in the trap and always escape it every time until yesterday.

This time, they used three chicken eggs as bait and the alligator done swallowed the tree, and was about to snuck out when it got trapped.

I heard my name and I ran outside to go see what's up, only to see our neighbor slapping life outta the animal with a machete and a coy smile on his mouth. Immediately, he put a call through to my Papa to announce their latest catch and I could tell they were exhilarated.

I made my way out to the streets and never got to see the pepper soup made with the animal's meat.
