As a way of helping his class improve their writing skills, the class teacher of eight-year-old Kofi Mensah, a year three primary school boy growing up at Kookookrom, a little village in Ghana, asked her class to write out the line 'Misfortune rarely comes alone' ten times. Was it a way of preparing Kofi for his day of multiple poor luck? It could be the case for not long after the writing exercise; the little school boy lived through a day in which he experienced one adversity after another. As he woke up on that day, no sign pointed to anything unusual-on the contrary, the day started on a bright note, with clear blue skies and the ever-present African sun shining brightly. In the end, however, it turned out to be a nightmare day, a day Kofi earnestly prayed and hoped would never repeat itself. Join little Kofi as he takes you through the series of mishaps that he experienced on his gloomy day.
