Kofi Mensah, a seven-year-old, Year 2 primary schoolboy growing up in the little village of Kookookrom in Ghana, could hardly believe his eyes at the sight of a strange couple emerging from a vehicle that had just pulled to a stop in the middle of his village. Out of curiosity, he decided to draw nearer to look at them. The strange-looking humans had, in the meantime, headed for the foodstuff stalls built by the villagers to offer crops harvested on their farms for sale to occupants of the vehicles driving through the village.As Kofi stared at the strangers, he could hardly imagine his little knowledge of the English language would play a vital role that day and help them purchase the foodstuffs they desired.Kofi thought that was the end of the matter, but no. Indeed, a strange set of circumstances led to a series of meetings, culminating in an extraordinary encounter in the capital, Accra!

Was it a way of preparing Kofi for his day of multiple poor luck? It could be the case for not long after the writing exercise; the little school boy lived through a day in which he experienced one adversity after another.As he woke up on that day, no sign pointed to anything unusual-on the contrary, the day started on a bright note, with clear blue skies and the ever-present African sun shining brightly. In the end, however, it turned out to be a nightmare day, a day Kofi earnestly prayed and hoped would never repeat itself. Join little Kofi as he takes you through the series of mishaps that he experienced on his gloomy day.
