Angel at NPH Offices in Windhoek
Angel Amukongo attends Suiderhof Primary School. She is in Grade 5. She loves books. Her passion is reading and writing. Her dream is to have her stories published, so she can share them with other learners.

NPH is very happy to help realise that dream.At the same time, we would like to invite teachers to submit to us best short stories of their learners (maximum one page long) so we can publish them on our blog.
Stories must be typed and sent as a Word document to info@nph.com.na. 

Good luck writing!


The Story of Disobedient Children

Angel Amukongo

Once upon a time, there lived three disobedient brothers. Their parents were very rich – they always had feast parties and celebrations. The three disobedient brothers’ names were Richard, Michael and Jason. Their parents didn’t know anything about their naughtiness because at home they behaved well.

When Richard was 5 years old, he influenced Jason. Jason was very obedient and quiet until he saw Richard and Michael being naughty. Then he thought it was fun, so he also started being naughty.

One day at school, the principal phoned the three boys’ father because every one of them did something wrong at the same time. Jason stole thr chalk from the class teacher, Michael beat up a boy at school and his nose was bleeding, and Richard was making a lot of noise, screaming and shouting in the classroom.

When their father came to school, he brought a belt with him. He told his three sons to stand in front of the whole class and he beat them all equally, so they all cried that day.

From that day onwards, Richard, Michael and Jason changed their behaviour. They apologised to the whole school, their classmates and teachers. Everyone was surprised because they all knew their behaviour and were not sure how long this change would last.

From that day, every day the boys came to school, they were quiet. They didn’t beat other kids any more, they never made noise or stole anything, or did any horrible thing again. They made friends with most of the kids at the school, and they behaved very friendly towards everyone.

One day when their parents had to go to London for a long business trip, they boys had to go with their parents. The boys lived in London for 2 years, and when they returned, they were accepted again at the same school because of their good behaviour.
