I stood, watching her in awe. I allowed her to talk because it seems the only way she could release the rage burning in her, and its the only way she could justify her action to passerby, and those who cared to listen. Finally, I told the little girl to kneel down and plea for mercy, but she refused. I was startled. The same little girl I tried to help, flouted at my order. "Baby girl kneel down and beg your mom, or do you want to remain outside in this cold weather?, I persuaded her. But she was stubborn. I watched her in awe, smile creeping over her face, stretching her lips, an embarrassed smile.
I turned towards the woman, whom, too, was startled by the girl's behaviour, and plead for mercy on behalf of the little girl. " Aunty please forgive her", I said. "Don't keep her outside in this cold weather, to avoid sickness". I said, it was the best thing to do at that moment. " cold dey catch big person like me, talkless of this small pikin, please let her inside. " I said as I turned and walked away. " You want make people think say I dey maltreat you abi?". I heard behind me. The woman was talking to the little girl.
Whether the woman allowed the little girl to go inside, I had no idea. I was relieved I had left the scene.
