As he arrived, the king told him to sit and play him the mouth organ. He did found joy whenever he listens to the sound of that mouth organ. Daniel was also talented, he was greatly talented because he wasn’t taught by anyone on how to play the instrument. He had also composed a lot of songs.
Daniel sat down as commanded by the King and started playing the mouth organ. The king rested his back and neck on the throne he was sitting on. He was just enjoying all Daniel was playing to his hearing.

Ruth’s friends had already arrived to check her health. She called them when Dan went out to buy the bibles. They were inside gisting about Daniel, he had already completed the playing of the mouth organ for the King.
‘I just love that guy.’ Ruth uttered.
Beatrice stared at her angrily for few seconds and smiled back at her. “You must, at least he’s your life saver.” She responded.
‘You guys better don’t let him hear. As if you don’t have a boy-friend.’ Rachel smiled.
‘That idiot! I will soon break up with him. He doesn’t worth a lady like us, he’s so foolish and unrepentant.’ Ruth said.
‘Unrepentant, I can’t laugh. When did you become a christian? You are funny o.’ Rachel laughed.

‘My princess its me.” Dan said from outside.
‘Dan?’ Beatrice smiled at Rachael.
‘You can come in Daniel.’ Ruth smiled.

The examination day arrived just like a dream. It was Daniel and princess ruth that both read all night at the dinning table of the palace dinning. After reading all they could, they both read their bibles and prayed for success in their examination.
Each person went back into various rooms. Daniel prayed again and revised all he read with Ruth on the dinning. He took his bath and slept off. Ruth also took her bath and slept off. The exam would start by nine that morning.
Daniel woke up by 7:30 and got dressed. By that time, princess was already dressed and set. He came out dressed in a shirt, brown trouser and a brown shoe. He was looking so handsome. He went straight to the living room to greet the king and the Queen. He shook princess Ruth and both left the house with different cars.
They got to the main campus. Daniel and Ruth got down from the car and stood together, reading. They got there by some minutes past eight. Both were just gisting till princess’ friends arrived by 8:30. Each also with her father’s car and a driver each. They were all happy to see one another, Daniel was standing by the door side, reading his jottings. He greeted the friends all and continue reading until they were all called into the exam hall.
The examination was computer based. The whole thing started, Daniel was the first to finish the exam. He submitted to the computer and left the hall, straight into the car and listening to music. It was so simple to him.
He waited for his other friends to come out so he can quickly get home and visit Darasimi and her family that week.
Finally, they arrived from the exam hall. Smiling and gisting. “It was so simple.” They were saying till they got to the car. Daniel had a slight smile at them, got down and asked how the exam was.
‘It was hmmn… Should I say soft?’ Bibi uttered.
‘Which one is now hmmmn… It was awesome.’ Rachel said.
‘It was beautiful!’ Stella said hers too.
‘We thank God!’ Ruth uttered and smiled. She knew that Daniel would still pay reference to that sentence she just made.
‘You all are somehow. Apart from her highness. You said it was soft, beautiful, awesome. Argh!’ Temitope said.
‘So what would we have said.
WE THANK GOD.
They all laughed and hopped into the car and went home. The exam result would come out in the next one hour. They all went straight to the palace, so that they would check the result together there. They went in to greet the King and returned back to the swimming pool to sit with each person with his and her laptop.
Not quite long, the result was released. Each person was busy checking his and hers. No one was ready for one another.
Princess got 82% as her overall mark, Stella 78%, Rachael 75.3%, Beatrice 77.4%. To their greatest surprise, Daniel’s result wasn’t released. They all filed up to the king to show their results. Daniel was told to come to the school that day.
He was so worried and rushed back to the school. He was told he got the highest mark out of all that came to the examination, but he was given another examination tougher than the one he did before. He was surprised so much and did the examination in the midst of many lecturers and the school’ board of directors. His examination was totaled by the computer immediately he finished it and got 96%. He got 98.8% in the former one he did, they were all proud of him there.

‘Its not easy to live in this compound. Not easy Daniel.’ Darasimi uttered.
‘I understand, I wonder how you are coping with this. How’s the school processing?’ Daniel asked.
‘My father’s rich brother said he can help me. I’m part of the second batch of your school now.’ Dara smiled.
‘And you never told me!’ Daniel exclaimed with surprise.
‘Just want it to be like a surprise package to you. I will also start working so that I’ll be able to generate income.’ Darasimi said and smiled.
‘That’s no problem, I’ll make sure I get money that I’ll give you to start something.’ Daniel said.
‘Start something? Rather give it to my mum. I’ll be working somewhere and receiving a huge salary from the entrepreneur.’ Darasimi replied.
‘That’s a nice idea, so you’ll be saving the cool cash then. Don’t worry, God will see us through.’ Daniel smiled.
