Malgwi, my mum, Jummai Malgwi,  \nand my friend Fauzia Ibrahim  \nEnglish  \n2  \nIn a small village in Nigeria, there lived a boy called Musa. Musa was ten years old.  \nMusa was an intelligent young boy who was always hopeful and con􀀜dent about the future.  \nMusa was fascinated by computers and wanted to learn how to use them and become a computer engineer. His father, on the other hand, was worried that Musa’s dream of living and working in the big city would draw him away from his family and heritage.  \nMusa’s father was Mr. Tunde, a good man with a big farm and plenty of animals.  \nEvery Saturday, when Musa’s brothers and sisters were home from school, Musa’s father would gather them all to go to the farm with him to plant some crops and feed the animals.  \nMusa never loved going to the farm, but he went anyway out of respect for his father. There he learned many things from his father about how to take care of the crops and animals.  \nHis father always stressed the importance of the land and hard work, but Musa still dreamed of the big city.  \nOne day, Musa’s father had the opportunity to travel to England. He went away for a very long time and never returned.  \nWith no news from their father, Musa and his whole family were very sad and feared for the worst.  \nOne year, two years, three years passed, and Musa’s father never returned. In the meantime, the family struggled to maintain the farm without their father.  \nAfter the third year, someone came with the news that Musa’s father was dead.  \nWhat?! When she heard the news, Musa’s mother started crying and fell to the 􀀩oor. All the children were crying too. The whole family was in shock.","cbCaija8XN3BYtJj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaija8XN3BYtJj","pdf",3114314,29,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Musa’s dream and his father’s values\n## Life on the farm\n## Mr. Tunde’s journey to England\n## Years of uncertainty and family struggle\n## The news of death and the family’s reaction","[{\"question\":\"Who is Musa and what does he want to become?\",\"answer\":\"Musa is a ten-year-old boy who dreams of learning computers and becoming a computer engineer.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does Musa’s father worry about his dreams?\",\"answer\":\"His father fears Musa’s dream of working in the big city will pull him away from his family and heritage.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens to Musa’s father after he travels to England?\",\"answer\":\"He leaves for a long time, never returns, and after several years the family receives news that he has died.\"}]",1784313100,45,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":26},"the-boy-who-turned-bad-luck-into-good-story","",{"@graph":34,"@context":84},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-boy-who-turned-bad-luck-into-good-story/92220/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-22","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Who is Musa and what does he want to become?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Musa is a ten-year-old boy who dreams of learning computers and becoming a computer engineer.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Why does Musa’s father worry about his dreams?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"His father fears Musa’s dream of working in the big city will pull him away from his family and heritage.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What happens to Musa’s father after he travels to England?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"He leaves for a long time, never returns, and after several years the family receives news that he has died.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
