Title: A fall from a tree

Description: Tomson tells a personal story of a time when he was younger. A woman came to ask him to go help him cut down a tree, which had grown too wide over a garden, blocking the sun that helps yams grow. He goes and climbs the tree. It's a type of tree they call 'canoe trees'. This type of tree has soft wood and Tomson knows that it could break easily but he climbs anyway. The tree snaps, he falls down and loses consciousness. His pupuls come to help him (he is a teacher at Lwoy primary school at the time), they bring him home. He vomits and vomits until at the end he regains his memory and consciousness and recovers. He calls this a story of disobedience. This genre is usually reserved to stories of children who disobey their parents. In this case, Tomson possibly classifies the story like this because he disrespects the 'rules of nature' and ignores the fact that the tree is soft.
