Barrister Akpos who has gone to the village for Christmas celebration went hunting in a nearby village.
He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of the fence.
As Barrister Akpos climbed over the fence, an elderly gentleman asked him what he was doing.
He responded,
"I shot a duck and it fell in this field. I am going to retrieve it."
The old farmer replied,
"This is my property and you are not coming here."
Arrogant Akpos said,
"I am one of the best trial attorneys in this country and if you don't let me get that duck, I will sue you and take everything!"
The old farmer smiled and said,
"Apparently, you do not know how we do things here. We settle small disagreement like this with Three-kick Rule."
Barrister Akpos asked,
"What is the Three-kick Rule?"
The farmer replied,
"Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up."
Akpos quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old man.
He agreed to abide by the local custom.
The old farmer slowly walked up to him.
His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into Akpos' groin and dropped him to his knees.
His second kick nearly wiped Akpos' nose off his face.
Barrister Akpos was flat on his belly when the farmer's third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up."
He eventually summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said,
"Okay, you old farmer, now it's my turn."
The farmer smiled and said,
"Now I give up. You can have the duck."
