Daddy tells Amaka to throw her okpa wrappers away. Amaka puts them in her school bag. 

Amaka lives in Nsukka. She loves eating ube and playing ten-ten. 

Daddy has taught her to tidy her room but he ends up doing it for her. Amaka leaves sweet wrappers under the bed and groundnut shells on the floor.

One morning Amaka wakes and runs to her father’s door. There are ants on the floor, up the walls and all over her school bag.
