Akpos was walking through a
supermarket to pick up a few
things when he noticed an old
lady following him around.
Thinking nothing of it, he
ignored her and continued on.
Finally he went to the checkout
line, but she got in front of him.
"Pardon me," she said, "I'm sorry
if my staring at you has made
you feel uncomfortable. It's just
that you look just like my son,
who just died recently." "I'm very
sorry," replied Akpos, "is there
anything I can do for you?"
"Yes," she said, "As I'm leaving,
can you say 'Good bye, Mother'?
It would make me feel so much
better." "Sure," answered Akpos.
As the old woman was leaving,
Akpos called out, "Goodbye,
Mother!" As he stepped up to the
checkout counter, he saw that
his total was N12250. "How can
that be?" He asked, "I only
purchased a few things!" "Your
mother said that you would pay
her," said the cashier.
