Melody Brooks and Mansa Musa

Melody is somewhat isolated because of her disabilities but she has enormous willpower and wits and never fails to amaze us, because with all the negative attention she gets, me or Nick would both go insane .

Musa I, also known as Mansa Musa, was born in the 1280’s, became king in 1312, went to the extreme for religious purposes, including his pilgrimage to the Egyptian city known as Mecca, and all the while gifting people with his precious African gold, proving his wealth. Sadly, for all the African peoples, he died in 1337.All in all, he was very generous.

“3! 2! 1! Surprise ! I’m Mansa Musa from the past and I am here to interview Melody Brooks, the one with enormous natural smarts and wits. The one with this title will receive enormous sums of my gold and will be a god. Even the flowers shall shiver in your presence . Who is the one I speak of?”, erupted a loud melodic voice and a young man sashayed into my view. “I am, I guess,” My Trish-voice said. “YOU!,” he screeched seeming dismayed by my disability . “Yes, and I have brains of steel ,” Trish hooted, sounding dismayed by his rudeness and lack of courtesy. “Yes, it is you that I saw in my dreams, here, my slaves will bear your wheeled mechanism and tonight we will have a feast, because you will be able to help us build new war machines to crush our enemies and bring the land into harmony and peace. You will help us give us other un-warlike inventions as well, though. The kingdom of Mali will have even greater riches and will be feared by all of her weak and cowering enemies .All assuming you will come though??!” Yes I will help your country, King of Mali, but I will not come with you, for I was born into this time and in this time I shall stay, for all of my friends and family are here,” Trish said. The young, rather handsome man looked rather dismayed. “Oh well,” he said looking as if his world was coming apart. “My son would be proud of me for trying. Farewell Melody, knowledge holder.” And then with a pop he disappeared. Everyone looked as if nothing had happened, though I don’t think anything did seem to happen to them and the wiz kids trials continued…
