The Beast

In Amuzi jungle, there was a beast that hurt and eat men in the village. It had killed so many people in the village, mostly in the forest. This happens when people in the village has gone into the forest to farm and fetch firewood. The beast was killing people in the forest mercilessly to the extent where people became scared of going into the forest.

The beast noticed that people no longer went to the forest, so it started hunting people in the village. The beast started killing their livestock and also killed the owners of the livestock. The whole thing became so serious that the whole villagers became terrified, there was no where safe for them in the village. So the village chief called for a meeting.

“We have to search for a brave hunter that will kill this deadly beast.” said the chief.

“Let's call Akim, son of Utar. He is a brave hunter and fit for this beast.” Suggested one of the villagers.

The chief and the villagers all agreed to call Akim. They called Akim and asked him to help them kill the beast. Akim agreed to kill the beast. Akim was a brave hunter. His father taught him how to hunt from childhood. He knows how to hunt wild animals and also love killing them.

The chief gave Akim all the information he needed to know about the beast. Akim took his hunter's gun, bow and arrow and went off to hunt the beast. Akim went to the place where the beast came often. He started setting some traps for the beast. Akim used a freshly killed goat as a bait to kill the beast. Akim poisoned the meat with a sleeping medicine then he left the poisoned goat where the beast would easily see it.

Akim hid in a corner and waited for the beast. He waited all day but the beast never showed up. Later in the night, Akim noticed that something was eating the goat meat, he slowly creeped out and saw the beast feasting on the goat. After it finished eating, the beast felt weak and tired. Immediately Akim took his bow and arrow and aimed at the beast heart. One straight shot and the beast died instantly.

Akim later went to the village with the beast head in his hand. The villagers were happy and they all started praising Akim. They called him Akim the beast slayer. The whole village continued to celebrate because once again, Amuzi village was safe again.
