Life at risk

 n

Today was a special day for the Williams, the wealthiest family in the country of Mali. Not only was it the birthday of the family patriarch, Old Macdonald Williams, but their eldest grandson was also returning home after five years. The occasion became even more significant as the eldest grandson was bringing his wife with him. Leo Williams had adamantly refused to get married for ten long years, so the old man was overjoyed and agreed to arrange a grand banquet to celebrate the occasion. The anticipation and excitement extended to every member of the family.
