Charlie Nduka taught his closest friends – Charlie Hope and Charlie Ricky how to instigate fights. They were having swelled times watching other fight and cry and perhaps wound themselves. When they became notorious in the quaint village of Umueze, the children avoided their company. Their lives became drabbed and dour. They started arranging cocks, rams and bucks fights. They were enjoying it but it also brought back the children to them.
On a no ordinary day Charlie Nduka lost the family buck in a fight it won but lost its life to a doe it fought and won to sire. The priced family doe loathed the stud to death.
