Chapter 1
In the heart of a green valley, surrounded by mountains and the songs of crickets, lay the peaceful village of Eldora. Eldora is a small village in the city of Thaloria, The people of eldora lived close to the River of Rora, a wide, gentle river said to be older than the oldest tree and deeper than any man's dream.
Chapter 2
Among the villagers was Obinna, a humble fisherman with kind eyes and a spirit as calm as dawn. His father and grandfather had both fished the same river, feeding their families with its generous waters. But times had changed. The fish had grown scarce, the water colder, and the songs of joy had left the riverbanks.
Chapter 3
Just like the ancestors has turned their back on their children. But nobody can tell not even the oldest,
Still, every morning before the cock crowed, Obinna rose, carried his net, and paddled his small canoe into the mist. He always greeted the morning with a song:
> "River Rora, mother of plenty,
Feed the hungry, guide the lost,
Bless my hands and calm the storm."
Chapter 4
But for many moons, his nets came up empty. The villagers began to whisper.
> "The river no longer loves him," said one.
"Perhaps he has angered the water spirits," said another.
Obinna said nothing. He only smiled sadly and kept fishing
Like he didn't hear any of those words. One night, after another long day of nothing, he sat beside the river in silence. But has a lot on his mind. The moonlight rippled across the water like silver cloth, and suddenly, he heard something—a faint voice carried by the wind.
Chapter 5
"Obinna... why do you take without greeting?"
Startled, he looked around. No one was there. The voice came again, soft and deep, echoing from the water itself.
"The river feeds those who remember its spirit. But you, son of agabar, cast your net without a word."
your father- father's before agaber has never cast their net without greeting the river but yat you learn and never practice.
Chapter 6
Obinna trembled. "Mother of the Waters," he whispered, "forgive me. I did not know I had forgotten your greeting."
The river shimmered. A small wave touched his feet, warm as a heartbeat. "Then learn again. Speak to the river as our father's did, and the river shall feed you."
Obinna went home with his heart heavy like a rock but never forgot the words said to him.
Chapter 7
The next morning, he went again to the river. before he cast his net, Obinna knelt at the bank. He poured a little palm wine into the water and said, "Mother Rora, I greet you. Just has I have learned take this drink from your son who come in peace." Obinna cast his net just like he has always do. when he drew his net, it was heavy—so heavy he feared it might tear. But there was no one to help.When he pulled it up, it was filled with fish so large and bright that the entire village gathered to see.
Chapter 8
From that day on, Obinna shared his catch with the widows, the children, and the poor. He taught everyone to greet the river before fishing, before fetching water, before washing clothes. The village of Eldora grew rich again, and laughter returned to the riverbanks. But one night, many years later, when Obinna had grown old and his hair had turned white, he heard the river calling once more, "Obinna, your time among men is done. The water that fed you now calls you home."
Chapter 9
The next morning, his canoe was found drifting quietly in the middle of the river, his fishing net folded neatly beside him. There was no sign of struggle, only peace. Since then, when the moon is full and the river glows like silver, the people of Eldora say you can still hear his song floating over the water—soft and steady:
> "River Rora, mother of plenty,
Feed the hungry, guide the lost,
Bless my hands and calm the storm."
Chapter 10
The widow's tell talk about him, And the elders tell the children, > "Never forget to greet the river. Just like the ways of obinna. For even water has a spirit, and even a fisherman
can be remembered by his kindness."
