Part 3: An Unexpected Encounter: Meeting a Mysterious Stranger The Quest of Ibrahim, Mus'ab, Olufunmilayo, and Ifeoluwa: A Kampala Adventure

The four friends had been walking for hours, and they were getting tired. They had been searching for the mysterious artifact that would help them complete their quest, but so far they had had no luck.

Just as they were about to give up, they heard a strange noise coming from the bushes. They stopped and looked around, but they couldn't see anything. Then, out of the corner of their eye, they saw a figure emerge from the shadows.

It was a man, wearing a long, dark cloak. He had a hood pulled up over his head, and his face was hidden in the shadows. He was tall and thin, and he seemed to be looking right at them.

The four friends were a bit scared, but they decided to approach the man. As they got closer, they noticed that he had a strange symbol on his cloak. It was a circle with a triangle inside it.

The man spoke in a deep, raspy voice. "You are looking for something, aren't you?" he said.

The four friends nodded.

"I can help you," the man said. "But first, you must answer a riddle. If you answer correctly, I will tell you where to find the artifact you seek."

The four friends looked at each other nervously, but they agreed to the man's terms. He then asked them the riddle:

"What has four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?"

The four friends thought hard, but none of them could come up with the answer. Just as they were about to give up, Olufunmilayo suddenly had an idea.

"I think I know the answer!" she said. "It's a person!"

The man smiled and nodded. "You are correct," he said. "Now, I will tell you where to find the artifact you seek. It is in a cave on the outskirts of Kampala. Good luck!"

With that, the mysterious stranger disappeared into the shadows. The four friends were left standing there, amazed at what had just happened. They had just met a mysterious stranger, and he had helped them on their quest.

They thanked the stranger and then set off to find the cave. After a few hours of walking, they finally arrived at the cave. They entered, and sure enough, there was the artifact they had been searching for.

The four friends were overjoyed. They had found the artifact, and their quest was complete. They thanked the mysterious stranger once again and then set off to return home.

The four friends had learned an important lesson that day: never give up, even when things seem impossible. With determination and courage, anything is possible.
