    SUMMARY:
    ✦ The Omanhene was celebrating the
    20th anniversary of his accession to stool of
    Akwasin. He then arrived in a palanquin in the state
    park where the Odwina was to be staged. As the
    drum beats on the women performed the Adowa
    dance. One dancer capture his attention because of
    its beauty, he then threw a handful of loose cash into
    the crowd of dancers. The particular dancer mad no
    sign but instead keeps on dancing.

    3
    SUMMARY:
    ✦ Realizing that he was neglected by the dancer, he
    turned to his trusted linguist. He told him to get fifty
    pounds from the cashier and gave it to the dancer’s
    relatives. The linguist then starts his investigation
    about the woman.
    ✦ Nana went back to his place. He then fell asleep
    after he had taken a bath.  When he woke up the
    young woman was kneeling by his feet. There he
    gave the remaining 50 gold sovereigns to Effua to
    complete the offer of 100. After receiving the
    amount the woman gave it to his parents and went
    back to the Omanhene.
    4
    SUMMARY:
     There they talk casually inside the Omanhene’s
    room. Omanhene appreciated the beauty and
    charm of Effua while he was playing the ivory
    beads lying so snugly on her bosom.

     Effua stands and look in the mirror.  As she came


    back and sit, she then revealed that they were
    already married two years ago, that he also paid
    her 50 pounds before.
    “Sometimes the things that we
    anticipate are already there. It’s
    just that we fail to appreciate
    them and only see them when
    we don't have any options or
    when we simply got bored.

    6
    “
    Learn to love and give value to a
    woman, because at the end of the day;
    when everything goes down, all we
    have is a woman to lean on.

    7
    THEME:
    MAN VS SOCIETY

    the character in this story became the


    victim of its own society, of its own
    tradition.
