Goliath and the Ant Okechukwu Okugo

Is beauty truly in the eyes of the beholder, or is there something deeper or unseen that pulls two lovebirds together? Does it make sense to die for love? Who would be willing to subject themselves to physical pain and suffering to satisfy another person's longing for them? A prince ready to give up his throne to follow the one he loves, how would you rate him, foolish or wise? In one recessive hamlet in Africa, Azuoze land, five most beautiful maidens of the hamlet set out on an adventure to answer these questions and more. The two figures at the center of this love battle are the wealthiest prince of the entire eastern hemisphere and a peasant, a mere cocoyam farmer who, because of her physical stature, the villagers taunt and discriminate against her; they call her the ugliest woman in the world.
