It was a bright and sunny morning in the small village. Birds were singing, and the villagers were busy with their daily chores. The air was filled with the sounds of laughter and conversations. In the middle of the village stood a new house, freshly built by Mr. Femi, the local carpenter. Mr. Femi was known for his skills and his peculiar sense of humor.
Mr. Femi, a tall man with a friendly smile, was standing proudly in front of his new creation. Villagers gathered around, curious to see the house he had built. His friend, Musa, approached him with a puzzled look.
"Musa, what do you think of my new house?" asked Mr. Femi, beaming with pride.
Musa scratched his head, "Femi, the house looks fine, but where is the door?"
The crowd gasped and started looking around. Indeed, there was no door in sight. Everyone started to murmur, trying to figure out what was going on.
Mr. Femi chuckled, "Oh, I must have forgotten to add the door!" He said, slapping his knee. "I was so focused on the walls and roof that I missed the most important part!"
Everyone burst out laughing. "Femi, how can you build a house without a door?" shouted Mama Bisi, shaking her head in disbelief.
"Na wa o, Femi!" said Baba Tunji, laughing. "How you go enter the house now?"
Mr. Femi grinned. "Well, I guess I have to climb through the window!" And with that, he hoisted himself up and squeezed through one of the windows, legs flailing and arms flapping.
The villagers roared with laughter as they watched him struggle. "Femi, you go tire o!" said Amina, wiping tears of laughter from her eyes.
Femi finally made it inside and waved at everyone from the window. "Welcome to my doorless house!" he said, still chuckling.
The villagers laughed and joked about Femi's house for days. The story of the doorless house spread quickly, and soon everyone in the nearby villages heard about it. Children played games, pretending to build houses without doors, and even the elders couldn't help but chuckle when they talked about it.
One day, Chief Ade, the village chief, decided to visit Femi. He walked up to the doorless house and called out, "Femi, come out here!"
Femi popped his head out of the window. "Chief, good afternoon! Please, come in!"
Chief Ade laughed. "Femi, how do you expect me to come in without a door?"
Femi shrugged, "I guess you will have to use the window, like I do."
Chief Ade shook his head, smiling. "Femi, you are something else. Let's fix this door problem."
Together with some villagers, they quickly built a proper door for Femi’s house. As they worked, they joked and laughed, remembering the funny incident.
"Next time, Femi, remember the door," said Musa, patting him on the back.
"Yes, yes," said Femi, laughing. "I promise, no more doorless houses."
With the door in place, Femi’s house became a proper home. The villagers celebrated with a small party, enjoying food and drinks while sharing more laughs.
The story of Femi's doorless house remained a favorite in the village. Whenever someone started a new project, they were always reminded, "Don't forget the door, like Femi!"
Years later, children and grandchildren still talked about the day a man built a house without a door. It became a legend, a tale that brought smiles and laughter to everyone who heard it.
And so, the village continued to thrive, filled with joy, humor, and unforgettable stories like the one about Mr. Femi and his doorless house.
