Your comment has sparked a discussion in my office on all these superstitious tales.<br /><br />@ Adaeze: I am happy if you understand my context. I swear I do not know a lot of the vocabulary before I actually start writing.<br /><br />@ Posekyere: It is all explained that we had no scientific means of telling children about the dangers of the world (even dangers at home) so we had to weave terrible yarns.
