The Shopkeeper and the Beggar by Ken Saro-Wiwa .
Only at closing time did he remember the beggars.
When he closed the shop, they were still there. "Give am penny for chop. Allah bless master." And he jangled his keys and said to himself, "Save the pennies and re-invest!" Read by Patrice Naiambana.
Producer Anne-Marie Cole
