It is true God always works in mysterious ways, He always finds different ways to take care of his own and provide for them when the world tends to forget them.

Damian is a child who has been very much fending for himself right from the very day his parents were no longer present on this earth, it has been a tough life for him but he had kept on going though, at that young age of his, he still kept the faith and always looks for ways to help himself.

Mr. and Mrs. Judge were living quite a good life while there were on the phase of earth and always made sure their boy Damian came as their first priority. Though they had little, they still struggled to make everything readily available for the sake of their boy's well-being. Being the only child they had you can imagine the love they showered on him.

Despite all this love, care, and pampering, Damian was growing up to be very much respectful to everyone around him and so he was liked, but you know humans, pretend to love on the outside but deep down there are jealous and not so happy this was the case to Mr. and Mrs. Judge family.

It has all been going well for the family, and by this time, Damian was almost rounding up Junior secondary school. So it happened that one morning after his parents had badded him goodbye to school and both parents had gone to the market to get things for the house not knowing that was going to be their end. As they went, they did not get the opportunity to come back home, that was how it all began, an entirely new life for the young boy.

Though he had other family relatives, all were very jealous of his house and this was the time they did deal with him. The absence of his parents in his life gave way to many things and the predicament of his life quickly got to its peak.

House owned by his own parents, he now lived like a stranger in his own parent's house, family members from both parents had taken over everything, the school was at its end for him, no food to even eat, clothing became a problem, the boy very much became a loner who got his meals now from the nut of a palm tree from the nearest bush in their house.

This was where he always go to get his daily bread, if he wasn't there he was at the market square, assisting traders to pack and carry their loads for small money for feeding. This went on for like a year after the death of his parents, but he still never turned rouged or went astray, the training from his parents was very much instilled in him and he kept on making an honest living for himself.

So one day as usual, he went into the close bush to get what he considered his dinner for the day, but to a different nut tree this time. On his usually search on the ground for these nuts, his leg accidentally made contact with a solid object on the ground, which was so covered with mud and was stuck firmly on the ground, as every normal person will do, he bent down to check what had caused him so much pain, to his surprise the object was a little shiny and looked like something he should check, he tried to pick it up from the ground but, couldn't so he started digging, his hands couldn't do the job so he looked for a strong stick with a sharp end to assist him on it.

He finally got the object out of the ground. To his surprise it was a very well shaped BONE with interesting features on it, it looked more like a flute. He smiled and called it a BONE-FLUTE so he tried to blow it, but couldn't get a proper sound out of it. He just held it to his hands and looked ahead for his dinner.

Days passed Damian had almost forgotten about his beautiful bone, then he remembered where he hid it and then, went straight ahead to get it. He was so emotional by this and was terribly missing the presence of his parents in his life, he was so far driven in his thought, so after getting the bone he just looked for a quiet place to try the practice.

Deep down Damian just WISHED for a better life, after had thought of every means to change his life, he just stopped thinking and tried to be positive in the same way with things changed for him. So, he started to try getting a sound out of this bone, he kept up with it and something interesting came out of what he blue even if it was not perfect. When he blew, it was a magical feeling for him, he practiced all day until it became his best friend and was always playing with it now.

Mind you this was no ordinary bone, so when Damian was able to get good sounds out of it, one day, as he blew to the market where he was going to assist traders as usual, his pay for that day was extra way passed what he use to get. He was shocked, the next day again he went, with this bone since he was always with it, and mind you on his way to the market the previous day he wished in his heart for better pay and it happened since he always blew the flute.

This happened for days, without his knowledge, so he was hungry one day at home and had nothing to eat by then, he just wished he had a good meal to eat that day, this he said out loud, hissed, and picked up his bone and blew, not up to two munites his uncle's wife who never cared about him called him and gave him enough meal to eat he was shocked, then it started to come on him that something strange has happened, he thought and thought, with no conclusion to where the goodwill come from.

Then, on another occasion, he wished on his way to the market, he was not only paid well but to get a sustaining job to help him get a better place to stay, he blew his bone on his way, at the end of the market day, on his way back a young man stopped him and told him he was looking for somebody smart enough to come to handle things in his store for he needed a hand. Damian was shocked, that was how his life began to change then he knew something was behind all this fortune.

He resumed work, this job came with a living apartment and some other things, his first day at work was not that good for the sales was low, the next day after opening he wished in his heart that there were more sales than the previous, and as usual his flute bone was there, he always blows it, not so long, customers from nowhere began to come. It was all a surprise for him.

His boss was shocked it went on for months, and his boss expanded and gave him his own shop. Life started to change Damian was becoming a man of his own and as Well his bone-flute was always with him. In the whole market, nobody had more sales than Damian and his boss, so the growth was rapid, in no time he had other branches opened for himself, it was all a win-win for both his boss and himself.

Money was not a problem anymore, feeding and other things he lacked. Life was good, then one day he slept and saw his mom in his dreams and was surprised this was rare, so they talked and he even told his mom how his life had been and how he came across the bone-flute that day and how things had always been a miracle. Then his mother smiled, he asked why the mother then opened up to him that that bone is no ordinary bone, it contain some good will magical powers as well as bad, it is only found by those who try be very upright in all they do and who had been greatly wronged by others, the mom then told him that is what brought him lucked for every time he made a wish in his heart, and blew the bone it made it come to pass.

He worked up immediately from his sleep and found out he had been crying in his sleep for while telling his mom what he had gone through he cried, and so it was happening him in real life, then he knew what had brought him this luck. It was a WISH-BONE he thought in his mind. He smiled at how God had favored him in his dark days and brought him to luck unknown to him.

From then on, he vowed to keep the bone safer than before for his children to come might need it. Damian was now a boss and tried as much as possible to help others, he tried his best to give opportunities to children who needed it, for he knew what he went through trying to make it on his own, so he made sure he tried to make children under the same situation of his feel better and be cared for.

When life tries to break you, just stand strong and don't give up, sadness only lasts for the night but Joy cometh in the morning
