With a live chicken in his hand, the principal chuckled and said, “Isn’t your friend hurt? I thought for a while, figuring that there are not a lot of good things here. So, I caught a chicken for your friend, maybe it’ll help him get better.”

Jasmine had already gotten used to the kindness and enthusiasm of the villagers. However, she was still surprised when she saw someone gifting a live chicken early in the morning to her. She asked, “Thank you, but didn’t you keep this chicken to be sent to your son?”

The principal’s son lived in a different city and married a girl from said city. His wife got pregnant and was due to give birth soon. Thus, the principal wanted to send a chicken to his son’s wife as a nutrient supplement after she gave birth.

“No worries, I have more chickens, so it doesn’t matter that I’m giving one to you. Kill it and make chicken soup, it’ll be good for your friend.” The principal handed the chicken over to her.

Jasmine could not bring herself to kill something that was still alive and jumping around the place.

“Thank you for your kindness, but I mustn’t accept your gift. My friend is very thick-skinned, he’ll live without the chicken soup, so please, keep your chicken.” Jasmine thought to herself, if Boyce really wanted some chicken soup, she would go and buy chickens that were already dead and make the soup, she could not stomach killing one with her own hands.

Even if she managed to kill the chicken, she could not stomach the soup later.

For her, not witnessing a living being lose its life right in front of her eyes would make her heart feel better.

“Come on now, I’ve brought it all the way here, I’m not bringing it back.” the principal tied the chicken to a brick and placed it next to her door.

Seeing his persistence, Jasmine felt that it would be rude for her to continue declining his gift.

“I understand, thank you very much, sir.” Jasmine said sincerely.
