Work without rest will lead to sudden sickness and on-time death. This led to the decision made by the school authority of the Graceful Heights International School that all the staff and pupils are to embark on a day or two excursion to allow teachers to relax and opportunities for students to witness how God created things as he wishes.

However, during the parent association meeting. School management raised it and sought the patients' opinions about it. Meanwhile, One of the parents stood up to ask for details about the said excursion, and the head of the teachers responded that the excursion was another means to educate our pupils on something that they did not know existed such as Springwater at Ikogunsi in Ekiti State where hot water and cold water meet, Idanre Mountain where magic foot is located at Ondo State, if anyone put legs there it will be the size and many more.

Mr. William exclaimed.
"Wow! So such a great thing exists in this world. Is it possible for me to join them when they are going there?"

"Yes, you can join us, if you want to be there. It is going to be our pleasure to have you around." Said headmaster.

Nevertheless, some parents seized the opportunity to follow their children to the spots. When we got there, everyone was moving around the place to view things but suddenly Mr. Jabez spotted an ancient court where they used to give judgment and all the seats were still there.

In the blink of an eye, an old man appeared from nowhere with white attire and he said "Eh eh, my children welcome to this place, It is my wish to see you here often. Let me take you around here."

"Alright Sir, but how long have you been up here?" Mr. Jabez asked.

When we got to where the foot was located on the rock, the old man asked one of us to put a leg there, and it was the size of that person. Later, he told another person to do the same thing and it was also the size of that person.

Mr. William exclaimed.
"Oh! This is great. God is wonderful and he does miraculous things."

We were on this, we noticed that an old man had disappeared and looked everywhere to ask one or two questions of him but we did not see him again before we saw the man we met at the entrance and he told us that the man we met was one of those that died a long time ago and he just appears to you to welcome you. You can not see him again but he is seeing everything you are doing here.

We left the area that day for the Ikogunsi waterfall. When we got there, the atmosphere was superb. Everyone felt free to play around and we were able to feel water as we were told. The hot and cold water flowed from different areas and met at a spot and they passed the same root. If you touch it, you will have hot water and on the other side, you will have cold water.

"Ah! So this one is also real. This is a mystery: no one knows God because he created things as he wished." Mr. Jabez said.

          The End
