A breeze passed across the house of Kolade in the middle of the night waking Kolade from his slumber, Kolade noticed some noise and stood up to check the intruder, he opened his door and held a touch and behold, he saw a package in the middle of the night. Kolade dragged the package in to prevent some questioning by his neighbors, he opened it and a new sewing machine. He was shocked and flabbergasted, he was a tailor for goodness sake!!! who could have put a machine in front of his house? He asked himself repeatedly.
Yet, in the middle of the night lies a shadow watching Kolade dragging the machine to his room. The shadow nodded his head in satisfaction and said quietly a man's greed is his doom, he disappeared without making a noise or alerting a soul.
Kolade woke up in the morning like a drunkard, he was too happy to report the machine to the police, he concluded that it was his luck. Kolade was a young man in his early thirties, he was poor and thus couldn't marry a wife but he was hardworking. He started using the machine without looking for the owner and since nobody made a cry of a missing item, he supported his conclusion.
Barely a week of using the machine, he noticed that people started bringing more clothes yo his shop to sow and within six months, he was a rich man but he still failed to notice that the sewing machine was responsible for this, he thought his time has come. Although he was rich, he was also worried, this is because once a person brings a clothe to sow, they never returned which means after collecting the machine he never sow a second clothe for the same person, it was like the customers vanished.
One day, an old man happened to pass across his shop and said after seeing kolade, "you have used the forbidden, your doom is near" kolade was angry and scared at the same time. He ran to his friend Ridwan and explain his predicament to him.
