ALTHOUGH (OZO)

Yakobo had become so popular in class not for his genius or for anything whatsoever but for his ignorance.he could not even read a full sentence in English. we always waited for the teacher to choose him so he could answer a particular question.
We always laughed but sometimes it was always sad. Some teachers especially Mr. Adagala never understood his weakness. Immediately Solomon would say an answer contrary to what he expected, Mr. Adagala would call him and give him six of the best.
Not that teacher Adagala was that bright, sometimes he would do the simple sums and then  gives us the hard sums saying that teachers are allowed to refer.
After giving us the hard sums he would just come with the answer book and read the answers and warn us against asking any questions.
Back to Solomon  now he was in class seven every body expected him to know how to read and write but that was not the case with him.
On this particular day Mr. mise had come to stand in for our teacher of English who was sick. It was a lesson on comprehension and the teacher was choosing pupils randomly. a pupil would read a paragraph and the teacher would choose another one.
Now it was the turn of Solomon to read, but there as a problem, the first sentence started with the word ALTHOUGH.
Solomon's neighbor a small boy who always did over eat and ended up producing gases from every pore knew that the word 'although' may end up challenging  solomon, nudged solomon and told him the word was although.
Solomon stood and read the word although ( he read as ozo), then he became quiet.
We waited patiently but there was no more response from him.
then it dawned on us, he could not read the next word which was ''the''
