About a half hour later the man did return. He smiled at Samuel and said, “Samuel, you are going to be my son.”

He took Samuel to his home. With his wife, the man took Samuel’s clothes and gave him new clothes. When they told Samuel that they were taking him to his room, he thought of his room at his step-grandmother’s house with the cows. However, this time he was taken to a room inside the house with a real bed.

The man and his wife made sure that Samuel received an education. Most of the time, Samuel went to a boarding school. Because Malawi doesn’t have many good secondary schools, Samuel had to travel to another town to go to school. These were good times for Samuel. He was bright and learned easily.
