AGAVU BECAME TWO LEFT LEGS
His real name is Odinaka but he got Agavu from his folks because they knew he always steal and go Scott free, even his mother who trained him to be a decent person as an African woman, Wasn't aware of his bad ways. In Igbo part of Africa, it's cultural you don't steal from title men to avoid two of your legs turning into two left legs after eke market day, because it's believed that title men are good and honest people who sin not.
One day Agavu ran out of luck as he mistakingly stole from a titled man. He ran to a native doctor because what he hated most is for his bad ways to be exposed to his mother.
The native doctor told Agavu "the only way of avoiding two left legs is for him to confess to his mother after 3days" which is already after eke market day, that was when Agavu knew he was already in a huge mess.
For these 3days Agavu was troubled both his countenance and behavior wasn't as usual, on the 3rd day which was after eke market day Agavu's mother asked him why and what is this about his sudden change of mood,Agavu busted into tears thinking that finally his legs has changed into two left legs, and his mother has noticed it, and was asking him about his sudden move instead of sudden mood . Since that day Agavu's two left legs became more real and permanent to him, not because of the reality of the culture but because his guilty conscience was stronger than the fact that his legs were normal.
Lessons

2) Bad behaviour is bad than cultural and native doctor's injunction
3) The end of doing bad is always bad.
4) Always do things that can keep you in the best of conscience.
