A Story Can Change Everything

Let me tell you a small story.

Long ago, in a quiet village on the edge of Enugu, there lived a boy named Chike. He wasn’t the strongest, nor the richest, nor the most handsome. But he had something special — he loved listening to people’s stories.

Every evening, while others played football, Chike sat with the elders under the mango tree. He listened to tales of old markets, war days, lost love, and small victories. People laughed at him.

“Stories won’t feed you,” they said.

But Chike kept listening.

One day, he borrowed an old phone and began writing those stories down. He shared them online. At first, nobody read. One view. Two views. Sometimes zero.

Still, he wrote.

Months later, something strange happened. One of his stories about a poor woman who sold akara to train her daughter went viral. Thousands read it. People cried. People shared. Some even sent money to help the woman.

That day, Chike understood something powerful:

Stories feed the heart.

And when the heart is fed, everything else follows.

Years later, he didn’t become the richest man.

He became something bigger — the voice of his people.

So whenever someone asks,

“Why write stories?”

He smiles and says,

“Because one story can change a life.”

Now tell me…

Will you keep reading stories, or will you write yours too?
