AFRICA

AFRICA - CHAPTER 1

Jacob was fourteen when his father decided to take him along on a missionary trip to Africa. He had always heard stories about the poverty and struggles faced by the people there. He had seen commercials on TV urging viewers to donate to help these poor souls, and he had always felt a sense of superiority knowing that he was fortunate enough to live in a wealthy country like America. So when his father announced that they would be going on a missionary trip to Africa to help those in need, Jacob was filled with pride and self-importance.

As they arrived in the small village where they would be staying for the next two months, Jacob couldn't help but look around at the dilapidated huts and dirty streets with a sense of pity.

"Look at all these poor sad people," Jacob said as they walked through the village. "I'm going to make such a difference in their lives."

His father shot him a warning look, but Jacob just shrugged it off. He was convinced that he was a saint for coming here. He felt like a hero, a savior coming to rescue these poor savages from their misfortune. His father had always taught him to be kind and compassionate, but Jacob couldn't help but feel a surge of self-righteousness as they arrived at the house of the local family who had offered to host them during their stay.

Jacob immediately noticed the teenage boy in the family, who was staring at him with curiosity.

As his father followed their hosts to the back of the house, Jacob was left alone with the boy.

"What's your problem?" Jacob asked the boy, trying to assert his dominance.

The boy just smirked and walked away, leaving Jacob feeling even more superior. He was sure that he could show this local boy a thing or two about charity and goodness.

The first few days passed by in a blur of work and volunteering. Jacob's father was busy helping build a new school for the village, while Jacob spent his time teaching the local children English and playing with them. He strutted around the village with a patronizing air, offering help and unwanted advice to the locals in a condescending manner.

All the while the boy with whom he currently shared a house with seemed to be constantly watching Jacob with a knowing look in his eyes. Jacob felt uneasy, but tried to ignore it. The family had, after all, welcomed them with open arms, offering them food and a place to stay. Jacob couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at how grateful they seemed to have them there. He felt like a king being adored by his subjects.

But his pride would soon come crashing down around him.

One day, while his father was away at the local church helping to distribute supplies, Jacob again found himself alone with the teenage son of the family they were staying with. The boy, named Kofi, had noticed how Jacob talked down to the children and refused to engage with anyone who he considered beneath him. Kofi found Jacob's arrogance and condescension infuriating. Jacob paid him little attention, too wrapped up in his own sense of importance.

So it was a surprise when Kofi, who had been quiet and reserved since their arrival, approached Jacob with a mischievous gleam in his eye. "Come, let's go for a walk around the village," he said, gesturing for Jacob to follow him.

Jacob, feeling superior, agreed to go along, thinking that he was going to show the villagers what a great person he was for helping them. As they wandered through the village, Jacob couldn't help but make comments about how dirty and unkempt everything was. He even went so far as to pat Kofi on the back and tell him how lucky he was to have them there to help. Kofi just nodded politely, a flicker of annoyance in his eyes. Little did Jacob know he had a plan to humble him in front of the whole village.

As they walked, Jacob began to feel uncomfortable as the villagers stared at him with curiosity and amusement. They whispered among themselves, making Jacob feel uneasy and self-conscious.

"What are they saying?" Jacob asked Kofi, feeling a little nervous.

Kofi just chuckled and kept walking, leading Jacob deeper into the heart of the village. The children began to follow them, giggling and pointing at Jacob. They started calling him names like "big shot white boy" and "Mzungu with a big ego".

Jacob felt his face turn red with embarrassment and anger. "Stop it! I demand you to stop!" he shouted at the children, but they only laughed harder, mocking him even more.

Kofi stopped in front of a group of young women who were sitting outside their huts. Their heads were almost completely shaved, a look which Jacob never liked. Kofi spoke to them in their native language, and they all burst into laughter, pointing at Jacob and shaking their heads.

"What's going on? What are they saying about me?" Jacob asked, a sense of dread growing inside him.

Kofi turned to Jacob with a sly grin. "They say you a fool, big-headed fool who thinks he better than everyone else. They want to teach you lesson. Take clothes off."

Looks very promising! Well done.

[TeenFan]

For white kids going to Africa or South America, these adventures can be filled with peril.
I can't predict what is in store for poor Jacob.

There is a plus here, white male genitals are much easier to see than dark male I am sure all the girls will love seeing his and hopefully he will be very mature for his age to give them something to look at.

[Skylar21]

This story is off to a good start. Nice setup. Looking forward to where the author takes us.

[Summers]

Like the others have said, good start, and interested to see where it goes.

How many chapters are you aiming for, do you know?

I could see these potentially going for a fair few, but could also be a shorter story, that is just as good.

There are many ways this could go, but i won't say any of my guesses. more fun that way
