Nearly A Disaster

Greetings great hive students.
It is of a truth that we cannot be too careful no matter how much we try and making mistakes are what shows that we are human and there’s no perfect human.

In all of our mistakes, there would always be great lessons to be learnt if we are carful enough to look through our mistakes and draw lessons from them rather than remain in self quilt whenever we make them.

I made one silly mistake last week that till now I keep asking myself, did I really do such? What would have happened if I did not remedy the mistake on time? I keep wondering where and what would have been the later story, some mistakes can be very costly leaving behind terrible scars to remember.

So it was last week Wednesday, I had very early morning class and so I could not wait to cook and eat, I was already late and all I really needed was to be in class before the lecturer arrives. I was lucky to step into the class just immediately the lecturer entered. School that day was very hectic, lots of lectures and thereafter the gross practical.

I went back home extremely exhausted not just tired but I was also very famished and that was when it dawn on me that I had to cook despite how I was. I selected beans and put in on fire to boil before cooking proper.

Immediately I put the beans on fire we all know that beans take a long time to get soft and so I had to just sit and was scrolling my phone. I dozed off without knowing, it went beyond a doze to a deep sleep.

I don’t even know what woke me up, okay I was coughing and I jumped up immediately, the whole room was filled with smoke, that was when I remembered that I had cooked and I rushed to the kitchen, the whole place was smoky and I just reached out to the gas first thing and turn it off.

I could barely stand the smoke, I was coughing all through, I had to open all doors and windows and left them all open. At that moment, the hunger was no more, the sleep flew away and the tiredness was no more.

At this point, the only thing I could do was to thank God that fire did not enter someone’s house, I was quite lucky oo, the beans and the pot were all burnt, I really thank God.
Now, I have really learnt and I can never try such again, I would never try cooking when I am stressed and very exhausted so that my mistake would not repeat itself.

Thank you all for reading through. I invite @joyben @sylvasticks and @trizzy-2
