The aged appearance of Obi’s parents marred his homecoming. He sat up one night with his father, who told him that there was going to be a special prayer service at church for him. Obi wondered why that was necessary, but did not say aloud the reality that he did not believe in his father’s god anymore. He lied to his father about how much he read his Bible, but he did not feel bad because sometimes a lie was better than the truth.
He thought of his mother, a devout woman who, while Obi suspected would prefer to tell the folk stories from her childhood, wholeheartedly committed herself to her husband’s faith. Isaac Okonkwo was more than Christian, though, as he was a catechist. His wife was very zealous in carrying out her duties.
One day at school Obi was called on to give one of the folk stories of his culture. He could not, as he did not know any, and was made fun of. He told his mother when he went home, and she gave him one to tell. The next time Obi was called up, his story of the leopardess and the sheep was successful, and he even felt called upon to embellish a little bit.
Obi also reflected on his sisters. He got along with Janet, Esther, and Agnes, but not the sister closest to him in age, Charity. He then thought about how he needed to be responsible for his family, and decided to commit part of his salary to his parents. His thoughts turned to Claraand he wondered why she did not want him to tell people they planned to marry.
That evening, the rain poured down and Obi fell asleep.
