Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the story "In a Native Village" by Louis Becke.
These are the options that come with this question:
- The narrator claims payment of fines over an incident with his piglets’ tails, but the villagers refuse to pay.
- The narrator bribes the authorities to ensure that he has power and preference over the villagers.
- The narrator thinks he is in control of the situation, but he is repeatedly tricked by the villagers.
- The narrator’s wealth immediately establishes his authority over the villagers, but the villagers do not respect him.
- The narrator establishes a series of declarations and rules to assert authority over the villagers.
In this story, we learn about the experiences of a European man in an island off the coast of Australia. This man arrived to the village with a couple of prized pigs. This, as well as his wealth, is meant to establish him as a leader in the community. However, contrary to expectations, the men in the island do not respect him. Moreover, they constantly trick him and take advantage of him. This shows that the narrator's power over the natives is only an illusion.
The day was very bright when we decided to play a football match with a nearby football team in our neighborhood. We called the best players among ourselves leaving Kelvin behind. In fact, this guy isn’t good using his foot for things like this, I mean he’s very weak when it comes to playing football but he came along to support us.
We played about ten(10) minutes and they scored us so we decided to break for half time not knowing our best striker whom we believed won’t play again. There was no substitute to fix him and confidently, Kelvin said he can play. We all burst into laughter, we even thought that it was a dream but we had no choice but to replace him since there was no one.
Within three minutes of play, we had scored two goals of which kelvin scored it all. He could dribble from the center to the opponents half and place the ball at a very unexpected position to score a goal. On the thirty-fifth minutes, our opponents gave up for they were tired and the game results in 6:3 in favor us.
We felt ashamed underrating the guy and all he could tell us was that “we should sometimes hide the good things in us in order to know true friends who believe in our effortless caliber”. We were all mute as I told them that “THIS IS A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET”
