The Three Lions

Once upon a time, in a small town called Irapada, there were three boys named Aliu, Babatunde, and Tajudeen. They were jolly good friends, always seen together, laughing and playing. They had the most incredible adventures and were inseparable throughout their childhood.

All through, they did things in common. They attended the same schools. Had three bicycles which they rode to their schools.

However, as they grew older, life took them on different paths. Aliu moved to a big city to pursue his dream of becoming a musician. Babatunde, on the other hand, had a passion for science and went off to study at a prestigious university. Tajudeen, the adventurous soul, set out to explore the world, travelling to distant lands and experiencing different cultures.

As time passed, their once unbreakable bond began to fade. They became consumed with their lives, careers, and ambitions. Their paths seldom crossed, and the once vibrant friendship seemed to be a distant memory. The young ones who looked up to them were left with nothing but tales of their incredible adventures.

Many years went by, and life took an unexpected turn for each of the three friends. Aliu despite his initial success, faced numerous setbacks in his musical career. He felt lost and defeated, unsure of what to do next.

Babatunde, while making significant strides in the field of science, realized that he lacked true companionship and missed the joy of having genuine friends. Tajudeen, after years of exploring, felt a deep longing for a sense of belonging and a place to call home.

Fate works in mysterious ways, and it was on a sunny afternoon during the Yuletide period that the three old friends found themselves back in their hometown of Irapada. They coincidentally met at a local cafe, each drawn by a longing to reconnect with their roots. Nostalgia flooded their hearts as they reminisced, sharing stories of their adventures and the lessons learned along the way.

In that heartfelt reunion, they discovered that despite their divergent paths, the values they held dear as children were still intact within them. They realized the importance of friendship, laughter, and the impact they could have on the younger generation.

Inspired by their reunion, Aliu, Babatunde and Tajudeen decided to stay in Irapada vowing to make a positive difference in the lives of others. They started volunteering at local schools, sharing their unique skills and experiences with the young ones who looked up to them.

The children of Irapada were captivated by the tales of their adventures and were inspired by the newfound friendship of the three friends. They saw in Aliu, Babatunde, and Tajudeen a reflection of their dreams and aspirations.

With time, the three friends became role models and mentors to the young ones, guiding them in their pursuit of dreams and teaching them the value of true friendship. The bond that once brought them together as children was reignited, stronger than ever, and the jolly spirit that defined their friendship was contagious.

And so, the legacy of their friendship lived on, as the young ones of Irapada continued to emulate the jolly camaraderie of Aliu, Babatunde and Tajudeen inspired by their timeless friendship and the impact they made in their community.

Untill today, the town of Irapada has never had such three jolly friends who do things together, who love one another and are well respected and loved for who they are.
