THE STUPENDOUS MAN THE PSYCHOLOGIST
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “According to my own knowledge, a recreational center is a place used for tourism. It is a place where people go in order to see intriguing and nice things, especially those created by God, that they haven’t seen before. People tend to gather new knowledge and add to their instincts at a tourist or recreational center. Let’s take Dynamic Recreational Center, for example. At Dynamic Recreational Center, people tend to see animals they haven’t seen before. Animals, like giraffes, goats, lions…” “Goliath!” Chloe cut in and everyone laughed. Chloe covers her face with both her hands and begins to cry. She doesn’t know why everyone is laughing at her. “Stop crying, Chloe. Goliath is not an animal. He is a human being just like everyone.” “Really?” Chloe asked gently. “Yeah,” Sadie said with a smile. “But my teacher at school said Goliath swallowed Jonah in the bible.” “That’s not right, Chloe

She walks in the direction of a shelf stuck with books. She faces backwards and says, “A man once had a heart attack. He fainted one day and he was rushed to the hospital. After he was resuscitated, the doctor asked him what he was thinking before he fainted. He told the doctor that he was thinking about how he lost everything he had in the same week. His two estates were burnt, his only car was stolen. His wife died of shock. Do you know what the doctor asked him?” “No, I don’t know.” Sadie moves closer to Luke. She touches Luke on the shoulder and says, “The doctor asked him whether he was dead.” “What sort of a question was that?” Luke said with a smile. “It looks funny, but that’s the antidote to excessive thinking that leads to depression.” “Really?” “Yeah.” Sadie sits down and says, “It is only a dead m

Besides, I will be leaving Hawaii today.” The man is gazing at Sadie as if he is trying to figure out what Sadie is thinking in her mind. He knows Sadie must be scared. “Don’t be afraid. I am not here to hurt you. Do you know one Mrs. Ava?” “Mrs. Ava? Where is she?” Sadie said, surprised. She is now interested in the conversation.” “Calm down, ma. Do you know her?” “Yeah. She is the first wife of my husband.” “Good. And I guess you are Mrs. Sadie?” “Yeah. You seem to know things about my family. Please, who are you?” “My name is Peter.

Rachael is dressed in a black suit, a black hat and a pair of blue shoes. They are high-heeled shoes that add to the height of Rachael. She is clutching a black bag with her right hand and a white polythene bag with her left hand. As soon as Silas sees Rachael, he sighs a sigh of relief. He had been checking the wall clock and waiting for Rachael to come back from work. He had eaten only breakfast and he was so hungry that he could consume a potful of food. Silas isn’t a glutton though. But whenever he feels like eating, he can eat himself into a stupor. Rachael stands right in front of Silas and says, “I am sorry I came in late.” “You are welcome. Where is my food?” Silas said. He is more interested in the food and he won’t hear anything Rachael tells him now unless he finishes his food. Rachael gives the polythene
