Orphanhood 2

Cynthia had been very friendly to her and had been eager to show her around but Jennifer's mother had warned her not mix too much with the children hence, she should limit the way she followed Cynthia about.

Her mother had told her that she was superior to all the children in the town. Simply because she was from lagos. Consequently, Jennifer had exuded a sort of arrogance, attaching so much importance to herself.

However, Cynthia was eager to please her cousin she did everything for jennifer, including running errand for her and even fetching water for her. Now misfortune had befallen Cynthia and her uncle had brought her to lagos to live with him and his family but, his family was not in anyway enthusiastic about the idea of her coming to live with them.
