If Only They Knew What THIS VILLAGE DOCTOR Does With NEW BORN BABIES #Tales

in the small African town of kadu there lived a doctor named Cojo Dr kojo was no ordinary doctor he was a man whose heart was as big as the bobab tree that stood in the middle of the Town everyone loved him because he was kind gentle and always ready to help whenever people fell sick they would rush to doctor Cojo small Hospital a place that felt like a second home home to many pregnant women came to him with their swollen bellies and Dr Cojo would smile and say don't worry my sister you and your baby

will be fine and he meant it Dr Cojo didn't care much about money in fact most of the time he didn't even charge his patients if a woman came crying because she couldn't afford to pay he would shake his head and say life is more important than money people whispered that he was like a red gem shining brightly in their little town the women in kadu said that Dr kojo had magic hands because no matter how difficult a birth was he would handle it with ease ah that man they would say he's a gift from

the gods and so pregnant women came to him not just from kadu but from the nearby Villages too life in kadu was peaceful and everyone believed that as long as Dr kojo was there nothing bad could ever happen little did they know a storm was brewing Far Beyond the Horizon one that would test the very heart of their beloved doctor and so the story of Dr Cojo begins one day the Skies over kadu seemed heavier than usual as if they carried the weight of bad news Dr cojo's heart was Restless though he didn't know why

when he returned home that evening he found his mother lying weakly on her mat her breathing shallow like The Whisper of a fading Breeze Mama Dr kojo rushed to her side his voice trembling what is wrong why didn't you tell me you were feeling unwell his mother an old woman with a face as wise as the Moon looked at him and smiled faintly Cojo she said softly you worry too much it's just old age catching up with me but Dr kojo was no fool he checked her pulse felt her forehead and listened to her chest

something wasn't right her heart sounded like a drum missing its Rhythm and her skin was colder than the morning dew that night Cojo couldn't sleep he sat by his mother watching her breathe his mind racing he had treated so many patients brought so many lives into the world yet now when it was his own mother he felt helpless the next morning he made up his mind he called the Elders of the town to seek their advice my mother is very sick he told them his voice heavy with worry I have done everything I can but

her condition is beyond me she needs to go to the big city to the best hospital there the Eld nodded understanding the weight of his words one of them Baba Adu said Cojo you have done so much for this town whatever you need we will support you but the journey to the city wasn't the problem the problem was the cost the hospital in the city wasn't for ordinary people it was where the rich went when they fell ill the bills there were as high as the tallest mountain Cojo sat quietly that evening staring at the

stars how can I save my mother he whispered to the night sky his heart felt like it was caught in a trap and the pain was deeper than the sharpest Thorn even as he tried to think of a solution his mother's faint voice called out from inside the house Cojo she said don't worry about me you've already done so much for everyone in this town if it's my time then so be it but Cojo couldn't accept that he shook his head and said no mama you are the reason I became a doctor I will not

give up on you and so cojo's journey to save his mother began though he didn't know how steep the road ahead would be the next morning Dr Cojo woke up with a plan he had to raise the money no matter what he started by visiting his closest friends explaining his mother's condition and asking for help his friends who love Mama Cojo like their own mother gave what they could but it wasn't enough then he turned to the villagers please he pleaded my mother's life is in danger any little help will go a long way the

people of kadu were kind but they too had their struggles Some Gave small amounts others gave nothing only offering prayers instead are Dr Cojo one old man said shaking his head we wish we could do more you've done so much for us when the borrowed money wasn't enough Dr Cojo made a difficult decision he started charging for his services for years he had been the town's Guardian Angel treating people for free now he had to ask for payment I'm sorry he told the sick and the pregnant but I need to keep the hospital running at

first the villagers understood kojo needs the money for his mother they said But as time went on the understanding turned to Whispers why is he charging us now they asked didn't he say life is more important than money gradually the once crowded Hospital grew quiet people began avoiding it choosing to suffer in silence rather than pay they forgot the kindness doctor Cojo had shown them for years they only saw the man who now asked for money not the son trying to save his mother Dr Cojo sitting alone in his empty Hospital felt the weight of

their betrayal but in his heart he knew he had no choice for Mama Cojo he would keep trying even if it meant losing the trust of the very people he had always helped Dr Cojo sat outside his Hospital one afternoon the sun burning hot above but his heart felt colder than the harmattan wind the empty hospital and The Whispers of the town's people weighed heavily on him it was as though though the very people he had cared for had turned their backs on him as he stared into the distance lost in thought a voice called

out Cojo is that you he looked up to see kwami an old friend from his university days kwami was dressed in fine clothes his shoes shiny like polished ebony his face was full of smiles but Cojo could see something sharp in his eyes kwam kojo said surprised but glad to see a familiar face it's been years the two friends caught up on old times sharing stories and laughter but soon cojo's smile faded his heart was too heavy what's wrong my brother kwami asked you look like a man carrying the weight of the world kojo sighed

deeply and told him everything about his mother's sickness the empty hospital and the money he couldn't gather kwami listened carefully nodding with a thoughtful look H guame said after a moment there's a way Cojo but it's not for everyone what do you mean Cojo asked his brow furrowed there's a man kwami began his voice low he pays large sums for special things baby placentas he sells them to people in the the city who used them for medicines and charms if you can get him what he wants he'll pay you enough to take your mother to

the best hospital in the world cojo's eyes widened placentas kwami that's Unthinkable those belong to the mothers to the babies how can you even suggest such a thing kwami Shrugged his face calm think about it my friend you're already losing your hospital the villagers have abandoned you this is your chance to save your mother isn't she worth it Cojo shook his head horrified no kwami I can't do that I'll find another way but as kwami left his words lingered in cojo's mind like a shadow that wouldn't go away the days grew darker for Doctor Cojo

Mama cojo's condition worsened her breaths coming slower her voice weaker he sat by her side holding her hand and prayed for a miracle but no Miracle came his debts piled up and the villagers once full of smiles and gratitude now avoided him like a plague even his close friends turned away their excuses cutting deeper than knives one night as Mama Cojo lay coughing her frail body trembling Cojo sat outside the hospital his head in His Hands kwami's words returned to him like a drum beat he couldn't ignore she's worth it isn't she worth it the

next morning with his heart heavy like a stone Cojo went to quame I'll do it he said his voice barely above a whisper kwami smiled though there was no warmth in it you've made the right choice my friend I'll arrange everything that week Cojo delivered a baby for a young mother at his hospital as the baby's first cries filled the room the mother smiled her face glowing with joy but cojo's heart felt like it was breaking he wrapped the placenta in a separate cloth as he always did but instead of handing it to the mother

he set it aside he replaced it with a bundle of rags wrapped in nylon and gave it to her here my sister he said forcing a smile go bury it as our customs say the woman took the bundle without checking her happiness blinding her to the truth later that night Cojo met kwami in a quiet corner of the town giving him the placenta quami handed him a fat envelope filled with money more than Cojo had ever seen this will take care of everything kwami said Cojo took the money money his hands shaking as he walked

back home he kept telling himself it was just this once just one time to save his mother but deep in his heart he knew he had opened a door that might never close Dr Cojo wasted no time with the money he had received he quickly arranged for Mama Cojo to be taken to the city's largest hospital it was a long journey but Cojo stayed by her side holding her hand and Whispering Mama you'll be fine just hold on in the city the doctors examined her and began treatment immediately the hospital was filled with machines and

medicines that Cojo had only read about day after day Mama Cojo grew stronger her cough lessened her voice returned and soon she was sitting up and laughing again Cojo my son she said Tears In Her Eyes you've saved me May the gods bless you for your sacrifice Cojo smiled but deep down her words felt like a thorn she didn't know the cost of her recovery and he prayed she would never find out when they returned to kadu the town welcomed mamak Cojo back with cheers and songs the villagers who had turned away from Cojo began

to warm up to him again feeling relieved lived and filled with gratitude Cojo returned to his hospital he told himself it was time to go back to his old ways offering free treatment to the people who needed it most pregnant women hearing that the kind doctor had returned flocked to his hospital they came not just from kadu but from nearby towns as well bringing their swollen bellies and their hopes but behind cojo's warm smile and gentle hands a dark secret lingered every time he delivered the baby he carefully took the placenta and replaced it with

a bundle of cloth here is your placenta he would say handing it over with a kind smile the mothers Overjoyed by the safe birth of their babies never thought to check some women carried the fake bundles home burying them according to tradition others simply tossed them away thinking nothing of it and all the while cojo's secret remained safe Dr cojo's Hospital became busier than ever the sound of crying babies and the laughter of new mothers filled the air and people once again praised him as the town's savior but not everyone was blind to the truth

The Midwives who assisted Cojo began to notice small inconsistencies one Midwife Auntie Arma frowned as she cleaned up after a delivery hm she muttered under her breath why does the placenta always disappear so quickly and why does the bundle feel lighter than usual another Midwife tossin noticed that Cojo was unusually protective of the placentas he always insisted on wrapping them himself never letting anyone else touch them doctor she asked one day why don't we let the mothers handle the placentas directly it's their tradition Cojo smiled his voice calm and reassuring ah toen you know how

sensitive some mothers can be I just want to make things easier for them but the midwives weren't convinced they began Whispering among themselves piecing together the odd things they had noticed one evening after a long day of deliveries Auntie Amma sat with tossin under the big mango tree outside the hospital something isn't right Amma said her voice low we've been midwives for years we know how things should be but this this is strange toy nodded her face serious I think we need to watch Dr Cojo more closely whatever he's doing It's Not What It Seems

and so the midwives began to keep their eyes open their suspicions growing with every birth Dr Cojo still smiling and gentle had no idea that the shadows of Doubt were creeping closer to his carefully guarded secret Auntie Amma the most experienced Midwife in kadu couldn't shake off her growing doubts about Dr Cojo the way he handled the placentas always in a rush and so Secret gwed at her mind like a mouse nibbling at grain one afternoon during a delivery Auntie amama decided to observe more closely as the baby was born and the mother cried tears

of joy Cojo quickly reached for the placenta his movements were smooth almost practiced as he wrapped it in cloth and placed it on a nearby table doctor Amma said soft ly pretending to be curious should I hand this over to the mother you seem tired today kojou gave her a warm smile but his eyes were sharp thank you Amma but I'll take care of it it's my duty to make sure everything is perfect Amma nodded but she wasn't convinced over the next few weeks she kept a close watch noticing every small detail each time Cojo

found clever ways to avoid her questions he would distract her with tasks send her out on errands or simply charm her with his reassuring words but amma's curiosity only grew something is going on she whispered to herself one night and I'll find out what it is one quiet night Mama Cojo couldn't sleep the moon was bright and the stars twinkled like diamonds in the sky she decided to visit her son at the hospital thinking they could share a cup of tea and talk as she walked toward the hospital she heard voices Mama Cojo paused near

an open window and recognized kwame's voice the buyers are pleased he said they want more placentas you're doing well Cojo Mama cojo's eyes widened placentas buyers what is he talking about she thought Dr Cojo replied replied his voice low I don't want to continue quami I did this to save my mother it was supposed to be only once swame laughed softly but look at all the good you're doing now you have money your mother is healthy and the women get free care everyone wins Mama Cojo felt her heart break into tiny pieces her son the

kind doctor everyone loved was doing doing something terrible tears rolled down her cheeks like little Rivers unable to listen anymore she stepped inside Cojo my son what have you done she cried Dr Cojo spun around shock written all over his face Mama what are you doing here how could you she sobbed stealing from the mothers who trust you this is wrong you must stop cojo's face h like Stone I did it for you mama he said sharply I had no choice without the money you wouldn't be here but at what cost she pleaded this is

not who you are please my son stop this before it's too late anger bubbled inside Cojo like a Boiling Pot I can't stop now he snapped you don't understand if I quit everything will fall apart Mama Cojo reached out to touch his arm but he pulled away Cojo listen to your heart she whispered choose the right path but Cojo turned his back on her his mind a storm of confusion and pride go home mama he said coldly this doesn't concern you with a heavy heart mama Cojo left her tears falling like rain she prayed that

her son would see the truth before it was too late the next day Dr Cojo felt like a tree bending under the weight of many branches his argument with his mother haunted him and guilt gwed at his soul like a hungry termite just one last time he told himself I'll do one more deal and then I'll stop forever that afternoon a young woman named Essie came to the hospital she was ready to have her baby and Dr Cojo prepared for the deliver Auntie Amma was there too her eyes sharp and her mind set she had

told the other midwives about what she had seen and they agreed to help catch Cojo in the act as the baby was born Christ filling the room with joy Dr Cojo repeated his usual routine he wrapped the placenta quickly and set it aside but this time the midwives were ready Auntie Amma could you hand me the placenta Cojo asked trying to sound casual of course she replied but instead of giving him the real one she handed him a bundle she had prepared herself Cojo didn't notice the switch he took the bundle and moved toward his

office The Midwives followed quietly signaling to the Village Chief and a few Elders who were waiting nearby just as Cojo opened his secret box to place the real placenta inside the door burst open the village Chief the elders and The Midwives stood there their faces filled with shock and disappointment Cojo what is the meaning of this the chief demanded Dr Cojo froze the placenta still in his hands his face turned pale like ash I I can explain he stamed there is nothing to explain Auntie Amma said firmly we trusted you you and you betrayed us

all the villagers gathered outside Whispers spreading like wild fire what's happening they asked isn't that doctor kjo the chief shook his head sadly you have done a terrible thing Cojo stealing from the mothers who trusted you lying to everyone this cannot be forgiven easily tears welled up in cojo's eyes I never meant to hurt anyone he said softly I just wanted to save my mother Mama Cojo stepped forward from the crowd her face wet with tears oh my son she whispered I begged you to stop the village Elders huddled together discussing what should be done

finally the chief spoke doctor Cojo you must face the consequences of your actions you will no longer serve as our doctor and you must return all the money you gained from this terrible deed Cojo nodded slowly his head hanging low like a wilting flower I understand he murmured the villagers felt a mix of anger and sadness they had loved doctor Cojo but his betrayal cut deep as he walked away from the hospital the sun setting behind him Cojo knew that he had lost more more than just his position he had lost the trust and love

of his community from that day on the story of Dr Cojo served as a lesson to all in kadu town that even the kindest Hearts can be led astray but truth and honesty must always guide one's actions I hope you enjoyed the story if so please like the video comment what you learned from the tale and don't forget to subscribe to the channel for more enchanting Tales just like this one thank you
