The hardest job for him was lighting up the coals inside the coal pot.
He usually delegates that task to his siblings but this time they were not yet home from school.
There was a time he gave up trying his eggs one afternoon because he couldn't light up the coals after 10 match sticks.
This time he succeeded just after 2 tries making him so happy.
If someone saw him like that he/she would have thought he had broken a world record.
Some seconds later,Kwabena continued on with his business.
He put the frying pan with oil on it on the coal pot and waited for the oil to boil.
He then poured his egg on the oil producing the chii,chiiiiii sound.
He would have fried it with green pepper and cabbage if he wasn't penniless.
As the spirit of hunger says,lack of money is a serious offence.
When he was done with the egg,he put it in between the bread and slightly toasted the bread with the frying pan.
He did not really toast it as he didn't like toasted bread.
He just made it hot.
Lastly he cleaned all theess he had created as he did not want to be at the receiving end of his aunt's critism.
Kwabena was a foodie but there's not much to eat to his heart's content due to his family financial conditions.
It was not that they were poor.
No,it's just that the money was not enough for 5 children plus the parents.
The had to share what they have or else the would go bankrupt if care is not taken.
Their father works in a mining company so he has money.
He was saving for his children future and was building a new house currently, so they had to spend wisely.
Because of the location of his work he was not living with them.
He only spent his holidays and leaves with them.
