Once upon a time, there lived a family in Asesewa called the Obimpeh family.

1

The family loved animals.
There were a lot of animals in the house.

2

There was one cock that was very naughty, so the children named it 'Patapaa'.
Patapaa had a strange behaviour and always made its presence felt.

3

Patapaa was always the first to wake up and made sure everyone in the house woke up by crowing loudly - "kokrokoo".

4

Patapaa liked bullying the other fowls in the house especially when they were given their food to eat.

5

Patapaa was also friendly. It tried to follow the children whenever they were leaving the house.

6

There was a day that a vehicle nearly knocked him down. It was a narrow escape for Patapaa.

7

One day, Patapaa left the house and never returned.
The children searched for Patapaa but they could not find it.
The children were sad because they missed Patapaa.
