As the four friends walked home, exhausted but happy, they couldn’t stop talking about their catering adventure. They had learned so much and had so much fun.
As they approached Lekan’s house, they noticed a strange car parked outside. It was a sleek, black SUV with tinted windows.
“Whose car is that?” Korede asked, curiosity etched on his face.
Lekan shrugged. “I don’t know. Maybe it’s one of our neighbors’ visitors.”
As they approached the house, the door swung open, and a well-dressed man stepped out. He smiled warmly at the four friends.
“Merry Christmas, boys!” he exclaimed. “I’ve been looking for you.”
The four friends exchanged confused glances. Who was this man, and what did he want with them?
“My name is Mr. Johnson,” the man explained. “I’m a businessman, and I’ve been following your story. I must say, I’m impressed.”
The four friends looked at each other in amazement. What story was Mr. Johnson talking about?
“I’ve been watching you boys from afar,” Mr. Johnson continued. “I’ve seen how hard you work, how you support each other, and how you always try to make a difference in your community.”
The four friends felt a sense of pride and wonder. How did Mr. Johnson know all this about them?
“As a token of my appreciation for all that you do, I’d like to give you a special gift,” Mr. Johnson said, smiling.
He handed each of them a small, elegantly wrapped box.
“What is it?” Lekan asked, curiosity getting the better of him.
“Open it and see,” Mr. Johnson replied, chuckling.
The four friends eagerly unwrapped their gifts, revealing brand-new laptops and tablets.
They gasped in amazement, hardly able to believe their eyes.
“Wow, thank you so much, Mr. Johnson!” they exclaimed in unison.
Mr. Johnson smiled warmly. “You’re welcome, boys. Remember, education is key. Use these gifts to further your studies and make a difference in the world.”
As Mr. Johnson drove away, the four friends looked at each other, still in awe.
“This is the best Christmas ever!” Korede exclaimed.
“Definitely,” Ayo agreed. “We’re so lucky.”
Lekan nodded. “We sure are. Let’s make the most of this gift and create a brighter future for ourselves.”
Tunde grinned. “You can count on me, guys. We’re in this together.”
And with that, the four friends hugged each other, feeling grateful, happy, and excited for the future.
